Will Christianity Soon Disappear From The Middle East?

A recent report has declared that Christianity is the religion that suffers the most in around the world.

The study, entitled Christianophia describes in length of how the Christian faith is oppressed, and how politicians and media in the Western world have been oblivious to the extent in which this occurs in places such as the Middle East.

Journalist Rupert Shortt, author of the piece reveals figures about the Middle East, stating that over the past century around a half and two-thirds of Christians have been killed or escaped.

Published in a press release by organisation Civitas, “Christianity is in serious danger of being wiped out in its biblical heartlands because of Islamic oppression”.

As cited by the Telegraph, the report claims that Christians are “socially disadvantaged, harassed or actively oppressed for their beliefs”.

David Cameron Delivers An Unexpected Christmas Message

After a long year of debate on topics between the Christian community and the government, Prime Minister David Cameron has given the most faith driven Christmas message the public have ever seen from him.

Cameron, describing Jesus as “the light of all mankind,” made many references to scriptures in the Bible during his speech.

He said, “The Gospel of John tells us that in this man was life, and that His life was the light of all mankind, and that He came with grace, truth and love.”

Commenting on the Prime Minister’s words, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, mentioned that Mr Cameron should be applauded for having “nailed his colours to the mast”.

It appears our country’s leader has been renewed in faith, after explaining in 2008 in a Guardian interview that his Anglicanism “sort of comes and goes.”

This comes after months of political debate regarding the controversial issues of same-sex marriages in the UK.
