Capturing the MidEast in short soundbites: poignant
reflections by people who understand the complexities of the Middle East. My philosophy is: "less is more."
You won't agree with everything that's here, but I'm confident you will find it interesting!
Excepting the titles, my own comments are minimal. Instead I rely on news sources to string together what I hope is an interesting, politically challenging, non-partisan, non-ideological narrative.

VideoBite: The Faithkeepers
Trailer for a documentary film, set to be released in Spring 2016, about Christians in the MidEast: The Faithkeepers
I had this sickening feeling when the Pope visited the United States and did not even mention Christian persecution in the Mideast. There seems to be a lot of tolerance for intolerance.

But this seems to be the exception. The more Islamist the rulers are, the less tolerant they become.
