In Defense of Christians, an organization that raises awareness of the persecution of Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East, held its first-ever summit this week at the Omni Shoreham hotel in Washington, D.C.

Today, the last day of the event, The Daily Signal spoke with religious leaders from Syria, Turkey and Brooklyn, N.Y., to talk about how terrorists from the Islamic State, or ISIS, are running Christians out of their small villages in the Middle East.

Their religion at home threatened, the leaders vowed to keep the faith.
