Church destroyed in Gaza, Gaza's Christians fear for their lives

Islamic jihadists continue to display their tolerance for other religions.

"Gaza's Christians fear for their lives," by Khaled Abu Toameh for The Jerusalem Post:

Christians living in Gaza City on Monday appealed to the international community to protect them against increased attacks by Muslim extremists. Many Christians said they were prepared to leave the Gaza Strip as soon as the border crossings are reopened.

The appeal came following a series of attacks on a Christian school and church in Gaza City over the past few days.

Father Manuel Musalam, leader of the small Latin community in the Gaza Strip, said masked gunmen torched and looted the Rosary Sisters School and the Latin Church.
"The masked gunmen used rocket-propelled grenades to storm the main entrances of the school and church," he said. "Then they destroyed almost everything inside, including the Cross, the Holy Book, computers and other equipment."

Musalam expressed outrage over the burning of copies of the Bible, noting that the gunmen destroyed all the Crosses inside the church and school. "Those who did these awful things have no respect for Christian-Muslim relations," he said.

Welcome to Hamastan.

Now, Musalam's name is derived from the word Peace...

But, of course the world will refuse to help or even ackowledge the real crisis, which is the persecution of non-muzlims.

Islam = Submission, NOT Peace.

This news comes as no surprise whatsoever.

Expect even worse if Hamas takes over the West Bank.

Places like the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem will be at risk.

At the present time under the Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty of 1995 it is Jordan that is responsible for these Christian sites. An irony to say the least.

For how long will the civilized world let this persist? And how long till Israel takes over the Palestinian Authority Territories (Hamas and Fatah) all over again?


Right now Hamas has only assault rifles. But it won't be long till Iran and Syria supply them(like Hezbollah in Lebanon) with much, much deadlier weaponry by sea.

And yet radical Islam is no more dangerous than radical Christianity.

Good grief.

""The masked gunmen used rocket-propelled grenades to storm the main entrances of the school and church," he said. "Then they destroyed almost everything inside, including the Cross, the Holy Book, computers and other equipment."

......and we prefer to give money to Muslims to build and secure their mosques.....I have to ask "WHY?"......

.....this violent behaviour is coming to your neighborhood, if you allow it....Ban Muslim immigration now.....

Oh, such brave jihad warriors.
Were the entrances to the school and church guarded by nuns praying the rosary?

*rolls eyes*

Pathetic.
