Attacks on Christians & Jews while the Western leaders sleep

Dr. Pipes - in re your article on Christianity Dying in its Birthplace 9/13/05 - absolutely . The burning of the synagogues in Gaza is more of the same. This business of sleeping through the fires is really disturbing. One does begin to wonder how bad it is going to have to get before the collective political leadership of the West wakes up. It also bodes ill for anything but an extremely violent reaction when they finally do -- since no effective proactive work is being done, the path most likely to be followed is one of extremely heavy-handed reaction in response to what will probably wind up being an extremely violent and bloody terror attack, or a series of them, aimed at Europe and the USA. A rotten scenario all around. I hope that I am wrong, completely, but so far I do not see any optimistic signs that this is the case. - Rena Cohen
