Religion, God, Jesus, Allah is for the weak. Muslim countries are 600-700 years behind Christian countries in their thinking. Why, because all of the oppressive tactics currently utilized by Muslim GOVERNMENTS were used centuries ago by Christian governments and people have become wise, and refuse to tolerate it. That is why your parents brought you to the USA. Religion and state CAN NOT go together. Religious freedom is your choice, David Karesh, whacko Christians, militant Muslims, Jews with sideburns, they are all fearful people. Fearful of what, God, Allah, give me a break. Science has already proved you all wrong and you know it. You come to God out of loyalty to your elders. It's time to tell the elders to F OFF, but you'd need a spine for that. Easter, the third day, Mohammed, it's all so stupid.<BR/><BR/>You still need faith, but move ahead people. Kneeling in a pew or kissing the ground???? DUH, you are weak.<BR/><BR/>Show me some Allah cartoons, please.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-66234807524216949402007-04-11T17:28:00.000-07:002007-04-11T17:28:00.000-07:002007-04-11T17:28:00.000-07:00Yeah and what about how Syria's president did a lot of bad things? Hu? All you people talk about is how A Nation State was created in 1948 on the backs of another population and that this State, Israel, only gives equal citizenship to Jews, while still controlling the lives of millions of non-Jewish Palestinians. Why do you guys always talk about that, and the fact that there are seperate highways and stuff and you call it aparthied and stuff. What about how Egypt's president does bad things like, kick poodles and stuff?yasserhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01031493493072387863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-22804131099670052112007-04-11T16:15:00.000-07:002007-04-11T16:15:00.000-07:002007-04-11T16:15:00.000-07:00oh right that makes the occupation and the settlements and the 100,000 refugees leaving in the last five years disappear. my bad i forgot.nadia nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13455020285097397544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-87981314392054365552007-04-11T09:03:00.000-07:002007-04-11T09:03:00.000-07:002007-04-11T09:03:00.000-07:00Church of Nativity, Palestinian Terrorists, crap and piss all over, ring a bell?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-70878466419654259322007-04-10T14:46:00.000-07:002007-04-10T14:46:00.000-07:002007-04-10T14:46:00.000-07:00the occupation is the biggest factor of why christians are leaving, settlements are cutting into bethlehem now.<BR/><BR/>christians are more likely to leave than muslims because on average they are more likely to have family connections outside the middle east they can join.<BR/>another factor you have to consider on their numbers going down is that muslims have a higher birth rate than christian and druze arabs (you can find these numbers easily as israelis love to keep track of this stuff to a tee), so their decline in numbers is also a natural result over the generations.nadia nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13455020285097397544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-80875592689648252962007-04-09T16:20:00.000-07:002007-04-09T16:20:00.000-07:002007-04-09T16:20:00.000-07:00Hold on a second i dont doubt for a second the popaultion in the west bank are leaving but i dont think the figures show that for inside israel the economy is stable and so on and they dont live in fear off their life the book is from the holy mountain by william dalrympleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-2199080036083538282007-04-09T12:55:00.000-07:002007-04-09T12:55:00.000-07:002007-04-09T12:55:00.000-07:00The rate of growth in the Palestinian Christian community is 2% per year. The rate of emmigration in the Palestinian Christian community is 4.5%. <BR/><BR/>More are leaving than being born.<BR/><BR/>And, according to them, the reason that they're leaving in such large numbers is because the military occupation is making life too hard for them. It has destroyed their economy and put their children in danger. They're fleeing their homeland in search of saftey.<BR/><BR/>They're not fleeing religious persecution. They're fleeing an oppression caused by military occupation and apartheid rule.<BR/><BR/>That's according to them.Nadeemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-74482631597278300262007-04-09T12:34:00.000-07:002007-04-09T12:34:00.000-07:002007-04-09T12:34:00.000-07:00Nadden i have read a book by william dalrymple a english writer and he says the population of arab christians in 67israel has increasedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-78170686341512069902007-04-09T09:32:00.000-07:002007-04-09T09:32:00.000-07:002007-04-09T09:32:00.000-07:00Why is it that every Palestinian Christian you talk to speaks of their Muslim copatriots as their comrades in this struggle. Zionists have for a long time attempted to fabricate some sort've divide between Palestinian Christians and Muslims. Even went as far as publishing fake news reports in newspapers such as the Washington Times about non-existant Muslim oppression of Christians in the Holy Land (take for example Paul Martin writing articles from London using a fake Arab name and claiming to be in Bethleham - he fabricated entire stories of Muslim gangrapes and attempts to burn down churches, made up quotes, etc. - and even after being exposed as fake, the Times continues to employ him).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-60601957534011815052007-04-08T19:54:00.000-07:002007-04-08T19:54:00.000-07:002007-04-08T19:54:00.000-07:00the validity of a statement isn't necessarily a function of who says it; regardless of what you might believe.. <BR/><BR/>Dismissing something out of hand simply based on the person who wrote it is intellectually shallowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-56532096277865446872007-04-08T19:22:00.000-07:002007-04-08T19:22:00.000-07:002007-04-08T19:22:00.000-07:00Yeah, let's leave it up to non-Palestinian pseudo-Christians to describe the Palestinian Christian experience...

Now those percentages are 20% and 30% respectively, and are shrinking. Jerusalem Christians were a plurality in the 1920s; today, they number under 2 percent of the city's population.<BR/><BR/>Serious violations of religious freedom are reported from within the Palestinian Authority, especially the persecution of Muslims who have converted to Christianity. In the Christian town of Bet Jella, a human rights lawyer reported brutal interrogation methods and arbitrary arrests based on fabricated criminal charges against Muslims who have converted to Christianity and their families. His report includes testimony about torture from victims who were terrified to criticize the Palestinian Authority and their secret police.<BR/><BR/>In Nazareth, the Christian population has decreased dramatically due to the rise and spread of militant Islam. The Islamic Movement (a radical Muslim group) has demanded the construction of a mosque near the Church of the Annunciation, a mosque even some moderate Muslims oppose. On Easter, 1999, the Muslim group burned Christian stores and targeted Christians over the issue; attempts to intervene were frustrated because Christians are terrified to speak out.<BR/><BR/>Hundreds of Christian families have left Palestinian towns like Bet Jella and Bethlehem during the al-Aqsa intifada, caught literally in the crossfire between Palestinians and Israelis. On the West Bank, a nearly-permanent Muslim boycott of Christian businesses is achieving its objective: driving the Christians to emigrate.<BR/><BR/>In October 2000, Christians were attacked in Gaza after a Palestinian Muslim leader called for a "jihad" against both Jews and Christians.<BR/><BR/>In February 2002 a Muslim mob, including Palestinian Authority Special Forces, burned Christian businesses and attempted to destroy the Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches in Ramallah. The attack occurred after a Christian man killed a Muslim while being pursued by a Muslim gang because he refused to pay protection money for safe passage to his home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-88356341930024806382007-04-08T15:00:00.000-07:002007-04-08T15:00:00.000-07:002007-04-08T15:00:00.000-07:00why dont you check out life as a christian under arab rule pre 67.. <BR/><BR/>sad to see such hatred spewing.. ah, and on we go on this carousel of idoicy and animosity!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-32213276621935693252007-04-08T12:24:00.000-07:002007-04-08T12:24:00.000-07:002007-04-08T12:24:00.000-07:00interesting article! different point of view is always nice!<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.websbestfreehost.com" REL="nofollow">websbest</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358737.post-2300090658548614282007-04-08T10:20:00.000-07:002007-04-08T10:20:00.000-07:002007-04-08T10:20:00.000-07:00ouch...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
