In a recent segment by EWTN, former senior Bush administration official Prof. Joseph Wood noted that neither Presidents George W. Bush nor Barack Obama dealt adequately with the problem of Christian persection in the Middle East.
Prof. Wood said that, in 2007 and 2008, many Christians in Iraq suffered at the hands of Islamic militants, many of whom may now be associated with ISIS.
