We petition the Obama administration to:
Stand up for the rights of endangered Christian minorities around the world this Christmas season.
Christians in the greater Middle East face extinction in their homelands. In Syria’s civil war, Christians who make up 10% of the population are targeted. Christians in Egypt (12% of that population) suffer social persecution and political exclusion. Christians in Iraq (1% of that population) face daily threats and violence. In Turkey, the number of Christians has plummeted to less than .1% due to systematic rights violations, including the oppression of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. In occupied Cyprus, the Turkish military has essentially snuffed out Christianity to around 400 survivors. The administration should act now to protect the rights of these groups by calling on countries in the greater Middle East to protect religious freedom, especially that of their Christian minorities.
Did you know that countless of Christians across the greater Middle East do not have full religious freedom this holiday season? Christians in Syria, Turkey, Iraq and occupied Cyprus are denied their basic right of worship and often live in fear of the repercussions of practicing their faith.
Today, we're launching a petition through the White House asking President Obama to stand up and demand
that these countries respect the religious freedom of all of their people, including those of Christian minorities.
