According to a caller to a radio station from Iran, He said that the christian are force to leave their homes and leave the country. In the MidEast a lot of christian are move to a camp to live and they are not allow to buy food or any thing. CAn you handle this type of thing if it come to your door?

No group should have to suffer like this whatever their religion. Are you meaning Iraq instead of Iran? As for Iran, not only Christians are persecuted, but Jews as well as Baha'is, the largest religious minority in Iran, also suffer greatly. In the case of Baha'is, their civil rights have been revoked, including non-recognition of their marriages, denial of education, loss and confiscation of property, including bank accounts, closure of businesses, etc. The list is long. Eventual genocide is the aim. Here's an excellent informative website http://www.bahai.org/dir/worldwide/persecution

I think you need to learn more about Christians in the MidEast. They aren't being as mistreated as you think.
I have some missionary friends who went to China and were told they had 24 hours to leave with 200 pounds of their belongings. They had been there for 8 years, so they had a LOT of stuff. When it was time for them to go, the officials asked them if they had included the weight of their children.
If you have never seen the "plight of Christians" in countries that aren't so happy with Christianity, you don't have much room to talk.

Why can't people see that if this happens to Christians in one place this will happen someday here.
People believe we in America will never see persecution like they see in other parts of the world.
Most of the Christians in America believe they will be raptured before they see any kind of persecution. God is no respecter of persons. If Christians any where have endured this before we can know it is possible for it to happen to us. To think any thing else is arrogant.
Nobody will be able to handle this with out being sealed of God.

If this sort of thing comes to my door, I know God put it there because he has equipped me with the strength, (spiritual, emotional, and physical) to overcome it with the grace of His Holy Spirit.
We face nothing that we cannot overcome, that is a promise and law.
God does not condone the suffering of his children, he has equipped each one of them. Their suffering is not in vane but out of love and for a greater purpose. To pass the good news to others who are actually suffering from loneliness, depression, loss... People who have no way out, who feel they cannot change or cannot shake addiction. God can remove that pain, and change their lives.
God can keep Christians from harm and does, but there are things we need to do in order for ignorant people to know the truth. God has provided each one of his children with the Holy Spirit and guardian angels, for which we can overcome what ever comes our way. Miraculously

Wherever the Holy Spirit sends me is where I go. I know that God is not going to put more on my plate than I can handle. The Christians who are in Iran have the grace to be there and were chosen by God because of their attributes.

Perhaps the Christian leader of our Christian nation should have thought about the rift he might cause between the cultures BEFORE he used Iran as the next evil empire with which to ensure support for his hawkish foreign policy.

Well, considering the United States is a bit further away from Iran than somewhere like Russia, I don't think it'll be near my door :)

It will come to the door of those who are converted during the Tribulation period, because they will be cut off from economic survival by the Antichrist upon realizing that if they took the Mark, they'd be swearing allegiance to him and cutting themselves off from God.

If they are facing so much suffering, why doesn't "god" help them? If he was capable of creating the universe and all that is in it, he should have no trouble ending the christian suffering in a place like Iran. So if the suffering continues, then he must condone it. Savvy?
