Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Bethlehem: One stabbed as Muslim mob storms and stones church

May 11, 2014 5:09 pm By Robert Spencer

Shhhh! Do not speak of this! “talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.” — Robert McManus, Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts, February 8, 2013.

“Church Near Beit Jala Attacked,” CAMERA, May 8, 2014:

Reports are starting to trickle out of the West Bank about violence St. George’s Orthodox Church near Beit Jala. The details are sketchy, but the violence took place on May 6, 2014. One person was allegedly stabbed and several others hurt during a confrontation between Muslims and Christians at the church, which was celebrating the feast of St. George, its patron saint. Above is video of the event that was posted on Youtube soon after the attack. Injured parishioners can be seen moving past the camera and at one point, a stone can be seen flying into a crowd.

More details as they are available.

Update: 11:10 a.m. May 8, 2014: Here is what Lela Gilbert, author of Saturday People, Sunday People, Israel through the Eyes of a Christian Sojourner, reports:

A Bethlehem Greek Orthodox Church (St. George’s Church – Khadar – near Beit Jala) was attacked by Muslims during its annual St. George’s Day services on May 6. … Some local Muslims either tried to park a car too close the church and/or tried to enter the church during a service honoring St. George – the initial instigation isn’t clear. But when the intruders were asked to leave, one of them stabbed a Christian man who was outside the church serving as a guard. He was hospitalized. Several then started throwing stones at the church. 7 or 8 Christians were injured and some physical damage was done – broken windows etc. The police didn’t show up for an hour.

    Islam came about by a strange coincidence.

    Allah the greatest of deceivers was strangely made in the same image of conniving hateful Muhammad.
    What are the odds?

    Muhammad turned his back on Jerusalem when he conquered Medina and no longer needed to attempt to hijack Judaism and prayed toward Mecca and Satan.

    Muslims have absolutely no right to even step foot into Jerusalem with their filthy blood-soaked Qur’ans and their vanity cult ideology.

      “Islam came about by a strange coincidence.”

      Actually, Islam was born between Khadija’s thighs. It’s in their books!!!

    The Religion of Peace strikes again. Hush now, lets not be crazy, lunatic extremists! This kind of thing only happens sometimes by a very small minority you Islamaphobe!

    Save your breath, terrorism happens EVERY DAY. Try telling the above statements to the Christians living in fear of their lives in the Middle East. Do you think those people believe that Islam is the religion of peace? I don’t think so. Call me a crazy extremist. (this has happened a lot to me in anticipation of the presentation of my project.)

    Where is all the brotherly love? And in Christendom’s holiest places?

    When will the world understand the hatred inspired by this death cult?

    “…achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.”
    So McManus has yet to contact you w/ an apology Robert?
    Inconceivable!
