Christians more threatened in Iraq now then when saddam ruled.

More Christian's facing persecution in Iraq now and many are fleeing.

Reports by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom indicate that the situation of other religious minorities in Iraq is equally bad or, for some, even worse.
