The study commissioned by the UK Foreign Office has shown what it refers to as a modern-day exodus of Christians from the Middle East, with violence against them also spreading in other parts of Asia as well as in Africa.
UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt yesterday blamed ‘political correctness’ for failure to confront the oppression of Christians, which he called the ‘forgotten persecution’, citing the interim findings of a report commissioned by the Foreign Office.
Pervasive persecution of #Christians, sometimes amounting to #genocide, is ongoing in parts of the #MiddleEast, and has prompted an exodus in the past two decades, according to a report commissioned by the British foreign secretary, #JeremyHunt

Persecution of Christians is modern-day 'genocide' says @foreignofficehttps://t.co/TJwwTRhlFh
They are being driven out of the Middle East in a modern-day exodus that means the religion could be wiped out in parts 'where its roots go back furthest'.
