When I visited Cairo I was a little surprised to find that the number of Christian churches (mostly coptic) rivals the number of mosques in many areas. In fact, the population of Egypt is about 10% coptic Christian. Compare that with 0.6% of Americans who are Muslims.

I understand Iran has many Christians and often in other countries they hide their belief in Jesus Christ. Many Christians are being persecuted greatly for their belief in Jesus. For this reason the USA did not make all out war on Iraq. To Iraq they may think we did, but the USA used bombs to keep from killing innocent civilians. We have lost many soldiers trying to protect Iraqi civilians because the bad guys and the good guys are mixed together.

Of course there are, they've been around since almost the beginning of Christendom, in fact the original Christians were Semitic (Jewish, Arab, etc).

U didn't know that?
Told u, we Muslims don't kill those u call 'infidels" while we Muslim call "of another religion".
Qur'an orders us clearly to respect Christians and Jews, not to harm any innocent, never kill, never force anybody 2 convert
This weird answer below mine, have u seen something to say that or u r just spreading some nonsense.....
Well i saw by myself that they r not treated as 2nd citizens as u called them.Grow up, don't limit ur life in rehearsing other's talking, try to c with ur own eyes...

Of course there are. 39% of Lebanon are of the Christian faith which a lot of people didn't realise when Israel decided to bomb them recently. My Christian Lebanese friend lives in Melbourne but some of her family had to flee Israel's incursions i.e. run for their lives.

I was kind of ignorant to the fact that their were Arab Christians. I met an Assyrian Christian, and thought he was Muslim, he told me that they were the second believers next to Jewish, people who became Christians, before Rome, and Europe. I feel sorry for Christians, living in the Muslim, world they are mistreated daily.
