Crosses Smashed: Muslims Vandalize Christian Graves

JERUSALEM – Palestinian Christians in a normally quiet village are reeling from a series of grave desecrations this week that they say are indicative of intimidation tactics from the town's growing Muslim population.

"Christians don't feel free anymore. Our way of life is changing while the Muslim population grows," a local Christian told WND. The Christian would only give his first name, Anis, for fear of Muslim retaliation if he speaks out. He pointed out there are several other Anis's in his village, Jisna, which is located near the West Bank city of Ramallah.

This week, 70 Christian grave sites in Jisna were vandalized, with the crosses on top of the graves found smashed off, local Christians told WND.

Jisna is primarily a Christian village, but over the last 6 to 8 years, the town has seen a steady stream of Muslims, mostly due to Jisna's good quality of life. Two years ago, the first mosque was constructed in the village. If the Islamic influx continues, Jisna might go the way of so many other Palestinian cities, like Ramallah and Bethlehem, which used to be predominantly Christian but now have large Muslim majorities.

Is Israel already done for? Find out in Aaron Klein's "The Late Great State of Israel"

And like Bethlehem, Ramallah and other Palestinian cities that became mostly Muslim, as the Islamic population rises in Jisna local Christians are complaining of an increased atmosphere of intimidation.

"They (Muslims) are trying to impose their way of life," said Anis.

A relative of Anis who lives in the same village said Christians don't feel safe drinking alcohol on the streets or even in private gardens that can be seen from the street. Consuming alcohol is banned in Islam.

Vandalizing graves, burning Bibles, murdering believers...it won’t change the truth of the REAL God of the Universe.

Why do they even allow these cruds to build their mosques and settle in their villages?

How many times is this going to happen before the PC crowd will stop their “religion of peace” garbage?

Don't know and don't care...we've NEVER been able to count on the Lefties for anything but "hate America, hate the military & hate Christianity". They didn't enlist for Korea, for Viet Nam, for the Gulf War and/or for the Iraq & Afghanistan wars...in fact the 'Rat party hasn't been part of winning a war since 1945! So its gonna be up to the patriotic, conservative Americans to "take out the trash" while the Lefties stand on the sidelines and snipe!

Semper Fi,
Kelly

Lefties do Satan’s work...
there is no doubt.

James 4:4
You adulterous people [ie, you whores], don’t you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

“little something to cheer us all up:”

Exactly what should have been done in AMERICA after 9/11!

We didn't allow the German-American Bunds to operate in America during WWII; why we are allowing foreign mosques to operate after 9/11 is a mystery to me!

Semper Fi,
Kelly
