The call came in 2014, shortly after Easter. Four years earlier, Catrin Almako’s family had applied for special visas to the United States. Catrin’s husband, Evan, had cut hair for the U.S. military during the early years of its occupation of Iraq. Now a staffer from the International Organization for Migration was on the phone. “Are you ready?” he asked. The family had been assigned a departure date just a few weeks away. “I was so confused,” Catrin told me recently. During the years they had waited for their visas, Catrin and Evan had debated whether they actually wanted to leave Iraq. Both of them had grown up in Karamles, a small town in the historic heart of Iraqi Christianity, the Nineveh Plain. Evan owned a barbershop near a church. Catrin loved her kitchen, where she spent her days making pastries filled with nuts and dates. Their families lived there: her five siblings and aging parents, his two brothers.

Their should be an equally impossible chance for muslims to prosper in the west, it is nothing short of insanity to have them living among us.
No, this has nothing to do with Bush.
This is on the M’s
it is very significant that this article is published in the Atlantic, a super-leftist-leaning publication!
(to its credit, Atlantic does sometimes publish some useful articles! I always glance at it at the newsrack to check it out....unlike so many of the leftist pubs these days which ONLY publish commie-nazi extremist propaganda)
anyway,
the second comment I want to share is....
the Western nations could and should.. have DEMANDED safety for Christians and Jews in Moslem-conquered/ruled counties....years ago!!!!!!!!!!
But alas, most Western governmental politicians are not really genuine Christians (or Jews) themselves.. and frankly they don’t give a rats-ass damn about ANYBODY other than themselves (and their puppetmeister-funders like Soroznazi).
Its all about themselves as they SELL OUT our countries to Islamic invasion/immigration..................
and they’ve so sold out Christians and Jews in Muslim-ruled countries that yes, alas, alas, there’s so little future left for any of them there.
Its a crying shame!
The solution is for us to elect more honest and yes, actual.y some genuinely faithful Christians or Jews...not CINOS or JINOS...to our governmental posts. If we can
You’re wrong. Bush and the neocons own this.
Wrong !
Bush, et. al. are not out their killing anyone.
This falls squarely on the perpetrators !
And we all know who those are - they are attacking Christians worldwide and have been doing so for what - at least 1,500 years now.
Worry Not. This is all part of Gods Plan. Many Muslims will toss away their prayer rugs and embrace the Cross of Christ, Europe will re-embrace the Christian Church once the Roman Catholics reform themselves—That or take up Orthodoxy.
Won’t just be the Middle East. Coming to America.
Yes, it's their fault.
Was the mayor of Baltimore responsible for all the rioting a couple of years ago when she ordered the police not to arrest anyone for rioting and looting? You're damn right she was.
Oh, I understand you now ‘illary.
So the allies are responsible for World War II.
Your logic is just so awesome !
Bravo. /sarc
So the allies are responsible for World War II.
Uh -- whut?
“The Impossible Future of Christians in the Middle East”
It’s not looking real good in the West either.
As long as Christians keep turning their seemingly inexhaustible number of “other cheeks”, their future will continue to look very bleak.

Still,the origin of Islam confuses me.
1. Mohammed said that he was praying alone in a cave when the angel Gabriel appeared to him and ordered him over and over "To read"!
2. Mohammed said he told Gabriel over and over that he couldn't read.
3.I'm thinking: Didn't Gabriel do a background check on this man who Allah chose to lead a nation?
4. for instance, Gabriel probably knows if I can read or not. 5. God/Allah obviously knew that Mohammed could or not read just as he knows whether or not I can read.
5. I'm wondering: Did Allah simply forget to tell Gabriel, either on purpose or by mistake that Mohammed couldn't read.
6. Whatever happened, Allah placed Gabriel, at least, in a very embarrassing situation.
*********
In comparison, think about the following:
1.Mary in the Bible.
2. Gabriel appeared to Mary before Jesus was born.
3. I bet that Gabriel knew every detail of Mary's life before he visited Mary.
I bet he had been watching Mary for many years before he visited her. I bet he knew whether or not Mary could read.
4. However, for some unknown reason,600 to 700 years later, Gabriel didn't know that Mohammed could not read. I find that to be strange.
5. I hate to be critical of you, angel Gabriel, but it looks to me that you didn't do you homework before you visited Mohammed in the cave.
6. What about Mohammed 's parents, Gabriel? As you know, Mohammed's parents died before he became an adult.
My point is this: If you really wanted to learn about Mohammed-----for instance, if you wanted to learn everything about young Mohammed--- why didn't you simply ask his dead parents? I'm sure that they would know if Mohammed could or couldn't read.
I'm sorry Gabriel, but in my humble opinion, you messed up big-time when it came to learning everything about Mohammed before you found him in the cave praying. It looks like the only thing you knew about Mohammed was where to find hm: I guess God didn't give you any more detailed information about Mohammed.
7. Sadly, God alone knows why he didn't give you more information about Mohammed before he sent you on your historical journey to mother earth.
CNN, FOX NEWS: I'm sorry to say this: But in modern times, aggressive reporters from such news outlets like CNN and FoxNews would probably find out more about Mohammed's past than you knew before you visited Mohammed in the cave for the first time around 600 AD.
8. Dear Gabriel, this is Mirse.I wrote the original message above.
Why didn't you simply just visit earth a few times to do a preliminary study of Mohammed first hand before you made your official visit to Mohammed in the cave? Yes,if it had been me, I would have visited earth a few times and studied Mohammed up close. You would have been invisible so no one would have seen you.
