Persecution of Christians in Palestinian Authority

This article sheds some light on Christians who are being persecuted in Gaza.  Click here to read the full article.

Within a year of Gaza’s take-over by Hamas, the owner of Gaza’s only Christian bookstore was abducted and murdered.  Christian stores and schools were firebombed.
 
Like most of his friends, Mr. Khoury had enough.  He went to the Judea-Samaria part of the Palestinian Authority  (P.A.).  He studies theology in the Bethlehem Bible college.
 

The Western media usually ignore the plight of Christians in the P.A..  They just denounce Israel’s security barrier.  However, until Arab terrorists “turned Bethlehem into a safe haven for suicide bombers, Bethlehemites were free to enter Israel, just as many Israelis routinely visited Bethlehem” [as I once did].

...

In Bethlehem, too, life is difficult for Christians.  Khoury says that Muslims stand in front of his college to intimidate the students by the way they read the Quran.  Other Muslims place their prayer rugs in Manger Square.  The college dean would not explain why.  He said that Muslims and Christians live in “relative harmony,” but admitted that Christians “feel the pressure of Islam…”
 

The head of a Christian TV station denied any “Christian suffering,” but then described land theft, beating, and intimidation by Muslims, and his own house’s firebombing.  Muslim gangs seize Christian-owned land, as P.A. security forces stand by.

Interesting isn't it?
