End of a Christian Presence in Iraq?

Attacks on Christians in Iraq have been occuring heavily since late October, and many Christians are beginning to pack up their cars with their belongings and flee due to the violence. Many are going to Northern Iraq (where it's a little less hostile) or abroad.

This fleeing is similar to the Jewish exit in Iraq in 1948.

Not safe for Chrsitians to worship aloud in Iraq.

More attacks on Christians in Afghanistan

Gayle Williams worked with the poor and disabled in Afghanistan for the past 3 years, spreading the Christian word.

She was killed by a gunman in Kabul on Saturday, December 11th because of her religion.

"We killed her because she was working for an organization which was preaching Christianity in Afghanistan," a spokesman for the insurgent group, Zabihullah Mujahid said.

Christians continue to be attacked in Iraq

Iraqi Christians have been the targets of attacks for the past two weeks. I blogged last week about the massive attack on the Catholic church, but now terrorists are also targeting houses and cars owned by Christians. Some people are being "warned" before attacks, but others are being caught completely off guard. The New York Times has frequently been blogging about the attacks. Check this blog out.
