United States 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, Trump 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 United States.
Below his Trump’s tweet:
Christians in the Middle-East have been executed in large numbers. We cannot allow this horror to continue!
Minority Christians have been victims of attacks in Syria and Iraq by the Islamic State since its insurgency started.
But Christians in Egypt and Pakistan have also been reportedly targeted by extremists.
Trump’s tweet was retweeted more that 25,000 times and liked by over 88,000 users in less than four hours.
