There ARE Chistian Arabs - and they suffer greatly for their faith.

Iraq has Chaldean and Assyrian Christians (not sure if they are the same.)

Could be a westernized short for an Arabic name or it could be a Christian Iraqi. A lot of them either have western names or they westernize the name they were given. I've known Iraqi Christians in Baghdad named "Steve" and "Susan."

Despite what the media is trying to portray, a lot of Iraqis are emulating westerners, particularly Americans.
