[Note from G&L:  We hope you will read this whole article by Caroline Glick!  Indeed, it is unclear what the churches are thinking!  

Ms. Glick notes, “Aside from Evangelical Protestants, most Western churches are similarly uninterested in defending the rights of their co-religionists in the Islamic world. Most mainline Protestant churches, from the Anglican Church and its US and international branches to the Methodists, Baptists, Mennonite and other churches have organized no sustained efforts to protect or defend the rights of Christians in the Muslim world.

“Instead, over the past decade these churches and their related international bodies have made repeated efforts to attack the only country in the Middle East in which the Christian population has increased in the past 60 years – Israel.”  

Also…take note of the ‘switcheroo’ the Catholic Church has opted for!]
