... it's not the same godReader comment on item: How the West Could Lose Submitted by susan (Italy), Feb 26, 2007 at 15:05 how come the same god tells your prophet it's ok to murder followers of the same god as jews and christians? ... "When did Arab Muslims harrass Arab Christians. Remember recently." Get ready for the list, it's quite long. http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/009926.phpFor Mr. Jasser, a 43-year-old pharmacist, that would be the final straw. Christian and liberal-minded, he said a Hamas win would have him packing his bags. "I would leave the country," he said simply, moments before the parade of tiny drummers drowned him out. "We're all afraid. We're worried about the future, that we'll become a second Iran." It's a common sentiment in Ramallah, especially among the city's dwindling Christian community. Where Christians once made up an about 10 per cent of the population of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the share is believed to have fallen to less than 2 per cent as many left to escape both the rising Islamicization of society and the constant violence.... http://www.assistnews.net/Stories/2007/s07020013.htmIn the Gaza Strip, Sunday, January 28, a 20-year-old man was shot through the heart and killed. He was the AWANA Club driver for Gaza Baptist Church. The next morning, a bullet stuck the home of another church member, barely missing his head. On Friday, February 2, Fatah police broke into the church. They commandeered the six-story building to use as high ground to cover the main police station next door. http://www.asianews.it/view.php?l=en&art=2063 The nuns denounce "Islamic extremism which has spread here in recent times, especially in the villages of the Judean desert. This makes life for Christians very difficult". Recently, Muslim staff members at the Christian hospital (founded by a Swiss Catholic priest) wrote a letter to the Board of Directors asking that female Muslim nurses wear a veil at work. "It is a request they make from time to time, but the hospital refuses not only for reasons of hygiene but also to preserve its Christian character," the nuns say. http://www.asianews.it/view.php?l=en&art=7003Death threats are getting nastier for Samir Qumsieh. He is the director and owner of the only private Christian TV station in Palestine. Concerned about his family and his business, he has repeatedly called on the authorities to intervene to the little avail.In 1996 Mr Qumsieh founded Al-Mahed (the Nativity) TV in Bethlehem. He told AsiaNews that he is forced to live with the constant threats against his life and might have to shut down his TV station, which has been well-receivfed by Christian leaders in the Holy Land. In the past, Mr Qumsieh denounced several times the violence inflicted on Christians in the Holy Land. http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/007975.phpThe attack on the village of 1,500 was triggered by the murder of a Muslim woman from the nearby village of Deir Jarir earlier this week. The 30-year-old woman, according to PA security sources, was apparently murdered by members of her family for having had a romance with a Christian man from Taiba. "When her family discovered that she had been involved in a forbidden relationship with a Christian, they apparently forced her to drink poison," said one source. "Then they buried her without reporting her death to the relevant authorities." http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1139395473254&pagename=JPost/JPArticle/PrinterLocal Christians see themselves as part of a single Palestinian people with Muslims - with a shared destiny, language and culture, a shared political goal to keeping their land in a safe, sovereign Palestinian state and shared suffering and anger. On the other hand, they are an ever-shrinking minority, with separate religious beliefs and rituals, trying to fight for religious equality and oppose violence as a means of legitimate struggle, without isolating or alienating themselves from the larger Palestinian population. Intermarriage between Palestinian Christians and Muslims is a rare, sensitive and sometimes risky issue. http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/014802.php
Can you feel the love moderate muslim? and this is just as you required, between arab christians and arab muslims, don't even get me started on muslims VS the rest of the world. Oh, but you might think it's easy to find infos on paleosimians. Well it's not true BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) -- Prominent anti-Syrian Christian politician Pierre Gemayel was assassinated in a suburb of Beirut on Tuesdayhttp://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53549 Thousands of Christians are fleeing from the violence in war-torn Iraq to Syria, but their new home also holds "ruthless" positions against Christianity which range from life in prison for talking about your beliefs to death for a Muslim who converts, according to ministries working there. http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/content/news_syndication/article_050818iraq.shtmlUntil the invasion of Iraq in 2003 there were estimated to be around one million Christians in Iraq. They include the country's original inhabitants, but are wrongly portrayed by militant Islamists as American infiltrators. Some recent estimates say that between 60,000 and 80,000 Chaldo-Assyrian Christians have fled the country since the fall of Baghdad. Church bombings in Assyrian neighbourhoods of Baghdad and Mosul in August and October 2004, mortar attacks, raids against Christian homes, and forced conversions have also contributed to the unease of a community that has increasingly felt itself under siege. ---------------------------------------------------- and there's tons more from egypt against copts (still arabs against christians) ISTANBUL, February 22 (Compass Direct News) – Police detained Christian families in Upper Egypt and forced them to deny arson attacks on their homes during a spate of anti-Christian violence last week, the families said. Two Coptic Orthodox families said police detained them for 36 hours when they attempted to report a February 13 assault on their homes in Armant, 600 kilometers (373 miles) south of Cairo. The fires came five days after Muslim groups set four Christian-owned shops alight on February 9. http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/001302.phpPope Shenouda the Third, Patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church in Egypt, has publicly condemned the kidnapping and forced conversions of Christian women to Islam. In a speech on March 16 he said, "I have received so many letters about what's happening to the Christian girls who go to supermarket stores to shop. At the store they tell them that they have won and have to go upstairs to receive their award or prize. After that we don't know what's happening to these girls upstairs. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4912966.stm Clashes broke out between Muslims and Coptic Christians in Alexandria in Egypt after the funeral of a Coptic worshipper killed in church on Friday. NOTE : KILLED IN A CHURCH, CAPICHE? http://www.petitiononline.com/coptic/petition.htmlhttp://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/012712.php August 14 (Compass Direct News) – Families of five jailed Christians have lost their homes northeast of Cairo after authorities persuaded them to turn over deeds to their property in exchange for what was supposed to be the release of relatives accused of murder.Abdel Masih Awad Sayeed, 86, and four relatives in Sharkeya province have been in police custody since December 11. Officials detained the five after the death of a Muslim the previous day prompted rioting in the village of Kafr Salama Ibrahim. Medical examiners concluded that injuries to Mohammed Ahmad Abu Talib in a fight with two of the Christian men could not have caused his death, but lawyers and a family member told Compass that the two Christians and three relatives are charged with "conspiracy to murder" Talib. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4080777.stm The protests were provoked by rumours that the wife of a priest in a town in northern Egypt had been pressured to convert to Islam. http://www.washtimes.com/world/20060420-103148-2006r.htm CAIRO -- Egypt's latest bloodletting between Christians and Muslims has many fearing an explosion of sectarian violence in the Arab world's most populous country, fueled by frustration with plummeting living standards.Increasingly radicalized Muslims, facing growing unemployment, have found it easier to take out their anger on the small Christian minority The latest clashes erupted last Friday with knife attacks at three Coptic Christian churches in the port city of Alexandria. HOW NOBLE THOSE MUSLIMS IN EGYPT!!!!! If they only think they are living OFF WESTERN WELFARE, WESTERN MONEY, WESTERN TURISTS!!! LEECHES, the lot of them. So I am sure you will have a tough job to make up lies to "justify" all the atrocities portrayed there. HINT : the reply "muslims are oppressed by their government" is played out.
