MIDDLE EAST - Christian Uncertainty

"Facing Uncertainty, Middle Eastern Christians Are Increasingly Emigrating" PBS Newshour 9/17/2012

Excerpt

JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): Finally tonight, we come back to the unrest in the Muslim and Arab world.

Pope Benedict wrapped up a three-day visit to Lebanon today, a long-planned trip that was overshadowed by the anti-American protests in the Middle East. But the flare-up in violence was just the latest in a series of events and conflicts that have many Christians in the Middle East uncertain about their future.

Ray Suarez has the story.

RAY SUAREZ (Newshour): Thousands turned out throughout Lebanon to get a glimpse of the leader of the Roman Catholic Church. But, while many were focused on the pageantry of the visit, the region's problems weren't far away.
