While Christians in Iraq and Syria face the threat of extinction at the hands of the Islamic State terror group, the U.S. State Department remains silent on the prospect of publicly designating the atrocities against Christians and other Mideast religious minorities as "genocide."

News, the State Department is in the midst of internal discussions to officially recognize the Yazidi people as genocide victims. But a lingering question remains: Will other religious minorities be included in the Obama administration's designation?
(RNS) — A Marlboro, N.H., man was told he had to remove the word 'Christmas' from fliers he was sending home with local schoolchildren to remind them and their parents of the town's annual tree lighting ceremony.
John F. Fletcher, an American Legion member who also plays Santa at the ceremony, said he used Wite-Out to cover 'Christmas' on each of 250 fliers, which the school district then sent home with students.
