No. Egypt still has her native Copt Christian population. Iraq before the invasion had Christians very high up in society because Sada'am was a Ba'athists and they declare Arabic unity over religion - after the invasion to get rid of Saddam the Christians ran to Syria where they also live free from religious persecution.
The irony is that Turkey as a western oriented self proclaimed secular state is where Christians are hammered at the most compared to places that are the West's enemy like Syria.
Nikas, do you know if the Turkish government is still pursuing the ambition to become part of the EU & if so, wouldn’t their officially encouraged &/or tolerated persecution of Christians constitute an impediment to that goal?
(Not that the EU bureaucracy is particularly inclined to defend the interests of Christians even on the european continent, I realize, but I should think that at a minimum it would constitute an embarrassment for them to admit into its membership a nation which is still overtly violating a minority constituency of their own citizenry’s human rights.)
Don’t forget Syria which is 20% Christian and Lebanon which is over 40% Christian.
