What does the logo on the badge mean?
The letter ‘N’ in Arabic (Nun – pronounced noon) at the centre of the logo stands for Nazarene – as Christians are referred to in the Middle East. IS painted ‘N’ on the doors of Christians’ homes so they could be targeted. The ‘Nun’ sign has been adopted by Christians as representing their persecution – much as the yellow star, forced on the Jews by Nazis, represented theirs – and with the supporting hands forms the logo of the Caucus for the Persecuted Church.
