Pez, you wrote: "Sounds too simplistic. Look at Kurdistan for example. There you have traditional Sunni Muslim Kurds (pro -USA) who are willing to welcome Christian Iraqi Arab refugees from the south, while being totally at odds with Sunni Muslim Iraqi Arabs. Did I confuse you? :)"

Not really. Kurds are acting this way to gain support for forming independent Kurdistan and for that they need support of all Kurds or non-Kurds, Muslims and Christians or Jews, if any. Once they achieve their objective then we will see if they maintain their benevolence towards non-Muslims.( The present Kurdistan is part of Iraq.)

Aren't you familiar with Coptic Christians in Egypt and how are they being treated by sunni Muslims and by their government? And how about the treatment of christians in the holyland and in Gaza? These christians are being harassed and killed regularly and their population is dwindling. Too simple and confusing for you?
