Synopsis
This book discusses the rapid erosion of social pluralism and the concomitant "religious cleaning" of religious minorities in the Middle East. It focuses on five crucial years between the "Arab Spring" uprisings of 2011 and the U.S. government's genocide determination in 2016 regarding religious minorities in the Middle East.
