The Persecution of Christians Under Islamo-Fascist Rule

The clip above is a trailer from Pierre Rehov's film "First Comes Saturday Then Comes Sunday" about the persecution of Christians under Islamic governments. Born in Algeria where his family had been living for hundreds of years, Pierre Rehov was a child when he had to leave his homeland together with the Jewish and the French communities who were forced out in 1961.

In the 1940s, pogroms and extreme restrictions against Middle Eastern or Mizrahi Jewry urged them to flee (most went to Israel). The Middle Eastern Jewish community in countries like Iraq once numbered at over 150,000 in the 1940s. Today only 7 remain. Jewish communities of the East have been ethnically cleansed.

Middle Eastern Jewish children play at a refugee camp in Israel in the 1950s.
It is extremely troubling that Christians and other minorities are finding that their lives are at risk under radical Islamic leadership. Christians under Islamic dictatorships are finding that they are often targeted for their religion. They are living as second-class citizens under Islamic rule-- experiencing something very similar to what my parents and grandparents faced in their native Middle Eastern countries.
