I'm Convinced Iraq is Hiding a Crucial Secret Surrounding Christianity

When you go past the long-time suffering of the Iraqi people, which is difficult to do, because they have had struggle after struggle, continuously for the last 30 years.  Twenty of these years the world has been involved due to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.  Before that, Iraq was at war with Iran for almost a decade. 

Yet when the smoke clears and the day is sunny and bright, you begin to realize that this is a country where the most famous book in the world describes the humble beginnings of Christianity, Abraham, Sara and Abraham's two sons.

Surely, the first child and his mother were treated unfairly and sent into the desert with little food and water.   And surely, the Muslim faith was created partially due to why the Chrisitan faith was created.  

To protect the people.

More than likely the first leaders of each of these world-famous religions understood a threat to the people and no doubt the religions were created to protect the people from a supposed threat.  

Only scholars who have studied for years can verify or deny these claims.  Yet, it is religion, in today's world, that separates us more then any other factor.  

Perceived threats are noted.  Not necessarily believed but noted.

As you look at the image of the Christians in Baghdad, only 53 miles from the most sinful city in the world, Babylon, you can't help but to wonder if they are holding foundational secrets surrounding Christianity. 

You may also begin to wonder why a massive number of people in Iraq go alone with the idea of ignoring an entire group of people, just because of who they are. 

Yes, no doubt, when you acknowledge the Jewish people, at some point you are going to run into the holocaust.  And yes, if you are unwise, you may not be able to depart that train of thought, healthy, alive and in tack.  

However, again, with meditation, prayer and common sense, you soon understand the Iraqi people do not recognize Israel, because Israel will not recognize Pakistan.  And again, we have separation because of ancestorial ties. 

None of this can be right.

To ignore another individual is when they are standing right in front of you, or living next door, or in the same country, is to conspire in their demise. People need each other, even if it is only a smile when passing in the street. 

But again, I have done what we all do, and that is go off-track dealing with the issues, and not staying on topic.  The topic is:  What secrets are the Middle East hiding about Christianity?  

We know that if you subscribe to the world's most famous book, you come to understand that the Israelites and the Palestine people are half sisters and brothers.  Yet, I feel the secrets they are not sharing, go deeper than that, much deeper.
