Multiple Perspectives

The outside world sees all the incidents of Christian persecution as a stat, they don't see it as a problem needing to be addressed. It also isn't addressed because only 0.6% of the world's Christians live in the Middle East, that is a small percentage but no man need be left behind. To the outside world it appears that every all Muslims in the Middle East beat and arrest Christians. This is far from the truth. However, the power of the few that do oppress the Christians is great, and which is why the Christians continue to be persecuted and no one has stepped in to stop it. 
             In the book Persepolis the reader is forced to see an inside look of the Iranian Revolution. Through this it is seen that not every single citizen in Iran rejects Western beliefs and ideas, some even thrive in these beliefs. However, there are the extremists that persecute and kill innocent people for being not exactly the same as them. To these men they are being righteous and fulfilling their duties as Muslim men, to the world they are sick people who do awful things to innocent people. Though the world may not see it as a problem, there are very few Christians in the Middle East and they are almost becoming extinct, and someone needs to step in and help.
