Thanks to a Facebook friend for this link to an article by Fr Raymond De Souza, originally published in the Canada National Post Palestinian Christians live in constant fear.
He tells of a YMCA centre in Gaza which is open to Muslims and includes a school, sports club and community hall, and does not engage in Christian proselytism. It was blown up by militants last week, destroying a library of 8,000 books. Apparently this was in response to the reprinting of the Muhammed cartoons in Denmark last week.
As Fr De Souza points out, it is not only the fact of the attack that is significant but also its insignificance in the eyes of the world's media. There is no free press in Gaza, and Christians are so intimidated that they dare not tell independent reporters anything except that they have excellent relations with their Muslim neighbours. To be fair, the BBC does carry a report on the attack.

But how can this be? They are "The religion of peace?"
Ann Coulter was much castigated after 9/11 for saying "kill them or convert them." In the future it's going to be them or us. I vote for us.
Heaven help us if these Islamic savages ever get power in the West.
And thank God for Israel, fighting Muslim lies and barbarism every day.
