I would like to write more on this subject, but it seems time and commitments have taken priority over posting on my blog. Sites like
http://www.persecution.org/2011/03/19/persecution-of-christians-getting-worse-says-report/
have more information on the latest reports.
An excerpt:
Iraq has seen an exodus of Christians. At the time of the last census, in 1987, there were 1.4 million Christians in the country. By 2003, that figure had fallen to about 800,000. Now, leading Roman Catholics in the country believe, the figure could be as low as 150,000.
In 22 out of 34 countries that the charity has under review, persecution has worsened in the past two years. The report says: “The proportion of countries with a worsening track-record of anti-Christian violence and intimidation would be higher were it not for the fact that in many cases the situation could scarcely have been worse in the first place.”
