Firebombings left black scorch marks on the walls and windows of Nablus’ Anglican and Greek Orthodox churches. At least five firebombs hit the Anglican church and its door was later set ablaze. Smoke billowed from the church as firefighters put out the flames

Stupid people those aren't papist churches.

I blame all this on the MEDIA who keeps stiring the pot for ratings and sales even at the price of destroying property and lives!

What's the difference. They think of us all as polytheists.

It doesn't matter in the least... Once these people get it into their head the "X" is bad, and needs to be killed, they really don't care that much about their targeting. They just want to do some killing and destruction.

I really fear for Christians and their holy sites if the PA ever gets to control even a part of Jerusalem. Islam is a very jealous religion, and has a long history of the destruction of holy sites belonging to other religions, and erecting a mosque on the site. Examples include the repeated destruction of Joseph's Tomb and of course, there's the desecration of the Church of the Nativity. And let's not forget the erection of "The Dome of the Rock" on the ruins of The Temple, first built by King Solomon.

At first, I'm sure that Christians would still have access to certain sites, but don't forget that once they've become emboldened, they'll stop the practice of any religion in the area. The best example of this was before 1948, it was illegal for Jews to pray at the Western Wall at the Temple, and the blowing of the Shofar (a rams horn, part of the high holy day services) was punnished by death.

Wondering what Hanan Ashrawi will have to say about this.
