Growing religious persecution 'a threat to everyone'

"I don't know if we will ever be able to go back to Syria. My mother wants to see her home again, but she may never be able to return."

Maria fights back the tears as she contemplates her country of birth, now wracked by fighting.

Her mother - now in her 80s - was able to flee the fighting in Syria and stay with her son in Canada.

But it is not clear whether she will return to a country where Christians and other religious minorities no longer feel safe or welcome.

Was the freedom we brought to Libya and Iraq worth it?

What is the point of all this human suffering?
