Here in the US, about half of the Arabs are Christians because they
mostly came from the Arab countries that have had large Christian
populations since the time of the Crusades (namely, Lebanon, Palestine
and Syria). One thing I find particularly disgusting about our American
media is that, though Israel treats Palestine's Christians just as
horribly as it treats its Moslems, our media ignore that (perhaps because
mentioning it might make some Americans wonder why our government favors
Jews over Christians there).
