Germany’s leader, Angela Merkel, told the German Protestant Church earlier this week that Christianity was the most persecuted religious group in the world, sparking anger from an opposition group. Although this fact is commonly accepted and stated among Christian religious leaders, the reaction received by Merkel is an excellent example of much of the anti-Christian attitude that dominates secular Europe. Europe’s political leaders should not have to face a backlash of resentment for highlighting the widespread and largely ignored issue of Christian persecution.

German officials are considering extending asylum to Iraqi Christians that are fleeing the increasing persecution in their country. Some members of European Union are against the idea of giving preferential treatment to Iraqi Christians. Iraqi Christians are one of the most vulnerable groups in the country. Unlike other groups, they don’t have militias that protect them and they are associated with the British and American forces in the country. Because of these factors, they should indeed be given preferential treatment.

Many Iraqi defenseless Iraqi Christians have been killed, kidnapped, and driven from homes because of their faith. Thus, Iraqi Christians should continue to receive special treatment in getting asylum in Western countries, if they choose to move to those countries. In this regard, the proposals by Foreign Minister of France and Interior Minister of Germany to give special treatment to Iraqi Christians is a move in right direction.
