Anyone have any to list? I don't, but I see alot of them getting ethnically cleansed out of their native countries due to arab muslim racism and persecution...
-coptic christians
-chaldean christians
-assyrians
-Baha'i
-maronite christians
-orthodox christians
-shia muslims (in places like saudi arabia, etc.)
-jews
Whew, and those are just off the top of my head...can anyone show me what non-arab muslim minority communities are thriving and growing under arab muslim rule?
are you kidding me? really? first off Coptic Christians are prevelenat in Egypt. I lived in that country for 4 years. Coptic Christians were actually quite accepted and many of them were at the top as far as education and finance. and christains in general are accepted unless you live in saudi arabia. other than that all mid east countries respect christains. in Qatar the government just built 4 churches so the christains have somewhere to go.
secondly shi'aas are not that oppressed again only in saudi will you find that. i lived in Qatar for 7 years which has a number of shi'aas in it and they were not oppressed. and in places in Lebanon,Bahrain, Syria those countries are actually shi'aa majority. the conflicts that has happened in the middle east. the disputes were started by the sunnis and the shi'aas. some of them just don't like each other.
as for the jews. again only in Saudi will you find mass discrimination of Jews. other mid east countries actually have Jewish communities. my sister- inlaw who is from Morocco told me about the Jewish communities in her country.
Please Rhodey stop with this nonsense. When was the last time you were in the Mid east? Maybe 20 years ago I would agree with you but the Mid east is quite more progressive these days.
