Western governments are at a loss what to do. Only Egypt has successfully addressed this full-scale attempt to impose Islamist violence which is specifically targeting churches and Christians in Nigeria, Pakistan, Kenya, Syria and Iraq.

Despite this targeting, many Muslim converts become Christian in these areas, but are joining the Orthodox churches of the East because the Orthodox churches bear familiar resemblance to Islamic religious institutions.
