Why Orthodox Christianity Survived in the Middle East

An important thing to hear that you will never hear from mainstream media. Does anyone wonder why Orthodox Christianity survived in the Middle East? I know the answer. It is simple.

They were protected during the Islamic Empire building period despite their dwindling numbers. It is a surprise to me as well but they will remain there, because of divine intervention and will return once all conflicts will be gone. Surviving didn't just depend on prayer alone but by work as well. Some of the Christians would be on a high position, even pay the Islamic tax and also do everything to protect their own faith and practices. Look at Syrians who practice the Greek Orthodox Christians. They would be in a high position in Syrian society like Michel Aflaq, Constantine Zureiq, Dawoud Rajiha and others who serve their country patriotically and practice their faith properly.

However, it is important to note that the American-led funding to the Fake Syrian Army made the Orthodox Christians an endangered minority. Bashar Al-Assad's Syria made the Christians have a good part of society. Saddam's Iraq, Christianity remain untouched. I will not make an explanation because it is obvious.

Only a foreign intervention in favor of the wrong group will try to wipe them out but will never back down. Prayer and work, Orthodoxy will remain till Jesus Christ returns.

Arab Unity is important

Due to the ISIS invasion of 60% of Iraq, Syrian Arab Army trying to wipe out the genocidal Fake Syrian Army and Muslims from around the world(even by Bosniaks!) went to these places ina form of Jihad. But do these terrorists knew how Muslims(Sunni and Shia) and Christians(Greek and Syriac Orthodox and others) coexisted before the Ottoman invasions or any wars America jumped into? Of course history don't lie. 

The church of the Holy Sepulchre was even protected by Muslims from destruction and the Aramaic languages still exist as the Liturgical language for Greek, Syriac and Coptic churches in the holy land. During the Egyptian unrest, Copts and Muslims stayed side by side against either Morsy's Muslim brotherhood or Muslim extremists or the Military Junta of course. That is brotherhood at its finest!

The biggest challenge we see now is how Syrians are united against the FSA's dirty war or Iraq's future. Christians in Iraq are fleeing and the ISIS are continuing to advance. The Iraqi army is fleeing like cowards unlike the Kurdish soldiers. They won't even back down. Unless that unity will happen, we could see another Afghanistan or Mali or Kosovo!
