Steven B. Nasatir, president of the Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago, says "The persecution of any religious minority anywhere by anyone is an evil injustice. . . For people of conscience, for people of all faiths, now is not the time to be silent."
He's referring to the blast of persecution Middle Eastern Christians have been suffering this fall.
"Mobs burned dozens of Christian schools, convents, monasteries, institutions, and churches of any, and all Christian denominations" in Egypt. In Syria, "A senior Church leader . . has said almost a third of the country's Christians have fled their homes.
Drawing from the horrific Nazi persecution of Jews on "Kristallnacht," he wants us to understand that "the burning of houses of worship can be a red alert that worse is yet to come."
