A Christmas without Christians
Front Page magazine ^ | Friday, December 16, 2005 | By Abraham H. Miller

Posted on 12/16/2005 9:06:45 AM PST by kronos77

Since the Palestinian Authority’s takeover of Bethlehem in 1995, under the Oslo Accords with Israel, Bethlehem has been transformed from a Christian city into a Muslim city. Bethlehem’s remaining Christians now live in a condition of dhimmitude (a reference to the second-class citizenship Islam imposes on Christians) in the city of Jesus’ birth.

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie,
your churches burned and temples turned into some moon-god sty.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light,
the hopes and fears of all the years know who will win this fight.

And we helped make it happen as the long arm of the Saudi foreign policy.

The Night Before Jihad

Twas the night before jihad and all through the mosque
Not a terrorist was stirring not even Abu Al-Zarasq
The suicide belts were arranged neatly on the floor
The written fatwah from Imam was taped to the door
The mullahs were delighted with news on CNN
That the Democrats were repeating how Bush lied again
The Times and DNC continually sing our notes
Yet, when we take over we'll still slit their throats
An infidel so friendly we could not recall
But, Burkett, Sheehan & Wilson weren't working at all
The Stupid Cowboy they called him was still all the news
Kerry was our man but destined to lose
When outside our haven arose such a clatter
The GIs were upon us to settle the matter
Allah would reward us with our virgins tonight
Not as we planned but for us it was all right
From our glorious heaven we heard news that we like
The American press spoke of this US terrorist strike
On Murtha On Pelosi On Kennedy and Reid
The Democrat Stooges always say as we need
The infidel liberals don't learn from their past
Merry jihad to all and to all a good blast

"Bethlehem’s remaining Christians now live in a condition of dhimmitude (a reference to the second-class citizenship Islam imposes on Christians)"

Actually, most Christians in world leadership knowingly brought that dhimmitude on Christians in Bethlehem. ...remember the standoff at the Church of the Nativity? ...divestment campaigns by all of the mainstream US Christian churches against Israel, Russia again recently considering outlawing the Talmud, the world's general, majority attitude against Israel,...?

The world can't give "land for peace" to the people of various Arab nations in its road map for the destruction of Israel and expect to have any Christian interests remaining there.

We need to pray for these persecuted Catholics and Christians.
