US President Donald Trump says he will not allow the killing of Christians in the middle east to continue.
Trump tweeted this on Sunday.
Last week, he signed an executive order imposing a ban on citizens from seven predominately Muslim countries – Yemen, Libya, Sudan, Iraq, Iran, Syria and Somalia.
His action has sparked off a protest in the US.

Your comment..Judgement must be serve concerning this issue, why must someone kill another person simply because he doesn’t believe on what he worships.
This is what practical leadership is all about …..Trump is an answer to all these oppression and injustice the innocent Christians have been facing in the hands of the heartless Arab world!
