The chaos in Yemen, if it follows past pattern in Syria and other Middle Eastern regions in turmoil, will likely result in support of extremists and the further persecution of Christians. Christians have been targeted in Yemen and you can expect more to come. What can be done, and must be done, is for Christians in the West to demand our governments use their considerable leverage as financial supporters of many of these Middle Eastern regimes to win some basic religious freedoms for Christians. The Arabian Peninsula, our supposed economic ally, has a terrible record of persecution and oppression of Christians. Anti-Christian extremists continue their viewpoints on Yemen, Oman and throughout the Arabic-speaking world. As the taxpayers who fund this support, we must hold our leaders accountable. Is this what we can expect for our tax dollars? Are we complicit in the persecution of Christians in Yemen and throughout the Arab peninsula since we are propping up these regimes?
