Non-Muslims are being "removed" from all over the ME (except Israel), by various means. By murder, by economic displacement, by 2nd class status, and on and on. This is true in both Sunni states and Shia states.
It's a parsimonious, natural conclusion to draw that Muslim majority societies are simply intolerant of non-Muslims. (BTW, we see exactly the same trend in Turkey.) Muslims tell us that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance, but actions speak louder than words. In action, Islam is violent and intolerant of all "others", whenever it becomes predominant. Here are a few links:
'The Body And The Blood' Follows Exodus Of Christians In The Middle East
Note: This thread was partly inspired by a current discussion on RF concerning Israel and the Palestinians. In the context of the broader non-Muslim displacement we see throughout the ME and when we compare the size and population of Israel when compared to the entire ME, it seems that claims against Israel are clearly biased.
What is Wrong With Jews Who Repeatedly Post the Most Hateful Propaganda Towards Muslims?
Israel is a safe haven for Christians, AND about 20% of Israeli citizens are Muslims. As opposed to the rest of the ME, Israel is more than tolerant of its non- Jewish citizens, whereas in the rest of the ME, Muslims are quite intolerant of non-Muslims.
