What is this "Christian Palestinians face the same oppression as their Muslim compatriots."???

The source [15] is hardly reliable. Its an opinion column written in the anti-Israeli Al-Jazeera by an author of a book called 'Israeli Apartheid: A Beginner's Guide'. Thats very biased.

Indeed, That opinion blogging shouldn't belong to the lead.GreyShark (dibra) 11:36, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Christians Most Persecuted Group in World" study citations

Just a quick question; this statement has three citations about it (one of which is a 404); but they all seem to reference the same study--they're news articles about the study. Would it not be more prudent to go through the study itself and cite to that? Three cites to news articles about the same thing give, at first glance, more weight to the statement than one footnote. The report itself seems to be at ^[1]

The source of hirmis aboona cannot be credited.

There is clearly an anti-pathetic point of view here. The authors of this source are definitely Assyrian fanatics. Sources containing false statements against the Kurds should be removed. It is very wrong and erroneous for Ibn Haldun and other medieval historians to present the mentioned situations about the Kurds in a different way.

remove this resource!!! 78.190.181.193 (talk) 21:26, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
