FORGOTTEN CHRISTIANS MIDDLE EAST

I am so ashamed with the handling of those Christians who have endured Muslim or Jewish rule. While some Islamic countries claim Israel as a Homeland and Jerusalem as the capital they are forgetting that during the Roman occupation The King of all Kings was born lived and died in an area that is today controlled by muslims. Nazarath Bethleham and Judea must be given to all Middle Eastern Christians as a sanctutary from persecution. I really agree with the fact the West and Vatican has turned its back on its most loyal of people. Because we are of peace and self responsibilites the world has forgotten us.

I strongly agree that more must be done now to ensure the Homeland of Our Saviour Jesus of Nazareth be given and respected through force if necessary. The saudis and other muslim states are calling for homeland for muslims and america is fighting for jews Why isnt any one fighting for the Chrisitians to have a homeland that they will preserve and work with the neighbours. They have more right than any religons to have protection for our saviours land of travel. Well before mahamaud was born the refered the Jesus of Nazarath but as I am writing this that area and most of the land Jesus travelled is controlled by the evil Hamas.

Why doesnt the ^Pope take a world stance to protect middle eastern Chrisitians and employ another crusade but this time with the assistance of the Israeli people having a neighbour who will respect the right to exisist and maybe bring peace to the region.
