Mideast Christians And ISIS

On February 18, St. John’s University Law School will host a panel, “Threat to Justice: Middle Eastern Christians and the ISIS Crisis,” at the university’s main campus in Queens, New York. The event will be co-sponsored by the Center for Law and Religion and the Catholic Law Students Association. Speakers will include Michael LaCivita (Catholic Near East Welfare Association), Edward Clancy (Aid to the Church in Need) and Mark Wasef (United for a New Egypt). My colleague, Mark Movsesian, will moderate. 

The topic of the panel could not be more urgent in light of the near-daily barbarities perpetrated by the Islamic State.

Please join us if you’re in the neighborhood. Details are here.

UPDATE: And do read this excellent article at The Atlantic by Graeme Wood, "What ISIS Really Wants."
