Terrorist attacks in Europe and the Middle East in July 2016 spread horror and fear throughout the world. Istanbul, Baghdad, Nice, Munich, Saint Etienne-du-Rouvray – only to name the most quoted in the media. Terror organisations such as Daesh, especially in the Middle East, were and are taking a heavy toll not only on people’s lives but also on their personal and collective identity, only to mention the very recent attack on the Egiptian mosque in November 2017 leaving over 300 people dead and hundrends injured. It proves that terrorists target all religious groups, including Muslims, nevertheless Christians are among the most suffering religious groups in the region. Physical violence is a major issue for Human Rights groups, but wiping out cultures and traditions with millenary roots is not a smaller challenge for the international community. However, Middle Eastern Christians, especially those of the young generation, have not lost all hope. It is true that some of them left Iraq and Syria, but many stay, hoping for a return to their homes, universities, jobs and businesses. This study aims to show the scale of persecution on Christians in the Middle East and their current legal status, but also tries to impart ideas for preserving Christianity in the region, based on the attitude of young Middle-Eastern Christians towards the issue.

Christians inhabited territories of todays Iraq and Syria, laying on what was anciently Mesopotamia from the very time of Jesus Christ. The persecution of Christianity had begun when Islam arose and lasts to this day. In contemporary times persecution became especially regular, bloody and intolerable since 2003 when American forces invaded Iraq, toppling not only the bloody dictator but also local status quo that kept the country and it’s society in one piece. When jihadist fighters announced the creation of an Islamic State across Iraq and Syria in June 2014, persecution turned into genocide. Christians, along with other religious minorities, but also Shia Muslims (being in the opposition to IS) are facing mass killings in most brutal of possible ways, but also they face deliberate infliction on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical and psychological destruction. Christian children are forcibly transferred to Islamic locations. Those terms are the core of the so­‑called „Genocide convention“. Along with trying to answer two major questions in this article – whether ISIS’ actions are to be called genocide and whether the Middle East is being wiped out of christianity, I am trying to focus on the presentation of life conditions of Christians in Iraq and Syria and consequences of the deadly march of ISIS fighters through the Middle East.

The Spring of 2011 in the Arab world and its blooming revolutions were hopeful and precious. The whole world watched as angry masses of young Arabs toppled the regimes, ousting first Tunisia’s Zine El Abedine Ben Ali and then Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak. By the end of the year, with the help of American jetfighters, another bloody dictator was gone – Muamar Kaddafi no longer endangered the people of Libya. Social change was on the way – freedom of speech and freedom to vote were only among other prerogatives of the young civil societies. In 2012 all of those states had new governments and presidents. But something started to go wrong – in democratic elections islamists took over, not only destabilizing the countries, but fermenting newly born civil societies. In 2014, when the old power is back in Egypt, opposition leaders are being killed in Tunisia and Libya indicated sharia law, the world watches how “the class of 2011” – educated young Arabs that started the revolutions of 2011, will handle the changes. The article analyses changes observed within Arab societies in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya from December 2010 till December 2013. Analyses is based on „Time” magazine articles written about the Arab Spring Countries in the above dates.
