Default Muslim Anti-Jewish Crusade Also Pursues Christians

Muslim Anti-Jewish Crusade Also Pursues Christians
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu



Muslim fundamentalists, aligned with Al Qaeda, bombed a Christian bookstore and two Internet cafes in Gaza on Saturday following previous attacks on churches as part of its religious crusade to replace the secular Fatah faction.

The "Sword of Islam" terrorist group took responsibility for the bombings of Internet cafes and music stores, which they consider an offense to the Muslim religion because they represent Western society.

The same group has issued warnings to Gaza women not to hang out in Internet cafes. The Swords of Islam has bombed more than a dozen Internet cafes in several weeks and destroyed the vehicle of one young man who was playing his radio tape at high volume. It also ordered women to wear a full-face veil.

Muslim courts in the Palestinian Authority (PA) increasingly operate as the moral authority over local areas, and one town in Samaria barred a music and dance festival.

The Muslim crusade has spread across the ocean to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where the local Community and Technology College last week was accused of promoting religion because it acceded to Muslim demands for foot-washing basins, used by Muslims before prayers. The Minneapolis Star Tribune noted that the same college removed a coffee cart form the campus because it was playing music related to Christmas.

College president Phil Davis explained that the foot-washing basins were allowed because "it is like when someone comes to your home, you want to be hospitable." When asked about the lack of a room for Christian prayers, he replied that the cafeteria served fish to Christians for Lent.

The Muslim activist organization on United States campuses, the Muslim Student Association, tells its members, "As Muslims, we are a nation elected by God to lead humanity."

However, the Muslim crusade in Gaza works directly against Christians.

Palestinian Authority (PA) police two months ago seized the six-story Gaza Baptist Church as an observation deck in violent clashes against Hamas. Police broke windows and broke down a door after church officials refused to give them the key.

Several months ago, another Muslim group attacked seven Gaza churches, including a 1,400-year-old Greek Orthodox structure, after Pope Benedict stated that some of the teachings of the Muslim prophet Mohammed are "evil and inhuman."

"Every place relevant to Christians will be a target," said a statement from The Army of Guidance. In Kalkilya, adjacent to Kfar Saba, the local Young Men's Christian Association headquarters (YMCA) was gutted by arsonists.

Muslims have become the majority in formerly Christian cities of Nazareth and Bethlehem, where non-Muslims have suffered constant persecution and discrimination, causing a further exodus of Christians. Last year, Muslims went on a rampage against Christians in a Galilee town, setting cars and stores on fire.

Default Re: Muslim Anti-Jewish Crusade Also Pursues Christians

No surprise that the Muslims are going after Christians. Ironic that a Greek Orthodox Church was attacked after Pope Benedict's remarks because the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem is very hostile to Catholics, especially because of the Status Quo concerning the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (aka the Church of the Resurrection) in Jerusalem.

In the 1980s and the 1990s, over three-fourths (76%) of the people emigrating from the Middle East were Christians fleeing the hassle of the "peaceful" religion, Islam.

Even though there is no Caliphate in existence, the Palestinian Muslims insist the Christians in the Palestinian Authority must live as dhimmi, an inferior status, where the Christians have to pay the jizya, the poll-tax, and live in subservience to Muslims. This is utterly stupid economically, because as in most Muslim countries, the majority of those with high education are Christians, not Muslims. This is why King Abdallah II of Jordan continues his late father's policy of protecting the Christians in Jordan.

We agree. The ones doing this don't like any religion different from theirs.

Default Re: Muslim Anti-Jewish Crusade Also Pursues Christians

What really galls me is the part of this that inclination in Minneapolis to cater so strongly to Islam. They provide foot washing facilities, which indicates a mosque, since the Muslims wash their feet before going into the mosque to pray. Yet their idea of "equal treatment" of Christians is to serve fish in the cafeteria.

There is no subterfuge here - the prejudice against Christianity and for Islam is right out in the open. We should have sense enough to see it and rebel against it. I hadn't heard a word until this article.

I wasn't aware that the dhimmi rule was already in effect in Gaza, Tom. Also Bethlehem, Nazareth and elsewhere, no doubt. Of course, we both know, this is the way it is to be practiced in Islamic countries.

They will kill all atheists, and any people who have a religion other than Islam and refuse to convert. Those who convert will be dhimmis, as the Christians are now required to live under the Palestinian Authority. Even then, the Arab Muslims will always be the upper class.

I hadn't realized this was already in effect, although the Christians are allowed to remain Christian. For now.

That Minneapolis is catering to them is an indication of things to come, isn't it? We either stand and fight or knuckle under. It's easy to see where the liberal colleges stand.
