Christian genocide
The US State Department is reportedly about to designate the attacks by the Islamic State terrorist group on the Yazidis as genocide. As commendable as such a diplomatic gesture may be, the question that begs to be asked is, if the Yazidis, why not the Christians? The 1948 Genocide Convention defines "genocide" as, among other things, "deliberately inflicting on" a religious group "conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part." As Islamic State continues to drive Christians from their homes, seizing their property, and offering them the "choice" between converting to Islam or being massacred, one must conclude that this qualifies as genocide.
