BAGHDAD, Iraq - Father Daniel Hani silently prayed in the front pew at Saint Joseph’s Cathedral in downtown Baghdad. These are particularly trying times for Christians in Iraq, and Hani knows that more than most.

He's aware of the empty pews behind him, pews that would have been filled just two years ago. Attendance is visibly down, even though most churches have reduced the number of weekly services

"Christians are deemed to be crusaders — part of the alliance with the Americans and the British who are occupying Iraq — so the Christians are uniquely targeted by the Islamists, by the radical extremists for being associated somehow with the American occupation," Paris said.
