Iraq
Christian Community of Iraq Halved in Seven Years
2010-09-19
As American troops exit Iraq, attacks against the Christian minority continue. The number of Christians in Iraq has dwindled to half of what it was before the American invasion in 2003, an Iraqi official said.
As it has in the Palestinian territories, Pakistan, and wherever else Muslim extremists have acted up.
Abdallah Al-Nofali, head of the government's Bureau for the Endowments of Christians and Other Religions, said in an interview with the Arab daily A-Sharq Al-Awsat that according to a recent survey some 40 percent of Iraqi refugees in Syria are Christian.

According to UN statistics, 1.5 million Christians of different sects were living in Baghdad before the American invasion.
