Most culturally Christian groups in the ME, like the Copts, Assyrians, Maronites, etc., do not teach salvation by grace through faith on the Lord Jesus Christ alone. They add works, sacraments, liturgy, and all the rest of the trappings of what the Bible calls "will worship" - i.e. manmade worship that replaces the gospel of grace.
Obviously, this doesn't mean we should stand by and ignore it when ISIS or the Muslim Brotherhood rounds them up and rapes and kills them. But it DOES explain why a major fruit of genuine conversion to the Lord Jesus Christ - that of loving God's people - is vociferously absent from them, by and large.
