“My home is only a couple of blocks away from the Via Dolorosa, the path he took to his crucifixion.:

Oops...she forgot the part where Allah replaced Jesus with a dopple ganger, so that He wasn’t actually crucified.

But I guess it’s more important that she appear as being friendly to Christians. Oops...forgot again. Muslims aren’t allowed to take Christians or Jews as friends. But what the hay...taquia is ok.

If nothing else, the War on Terror should at least enable us to give these people a decent historical education, because this lady doesn’t know what in the WORLD she is talking about.

So many lies in this self-serving article that I'm not going to waste time refuting each one.

I concur, US007. This shameful screed is an excellent example of the use of kitman and taqiyya, which are defined by islamic clerics and jurists as omission/mental resevation ("kitman") or deceit ("taqiyya"). Of course, intended recipients are non-muslim "infidels" and "heretics."

Feel the ecstasy of entering the most dramatic cave in which the Virgin Mary delivered her beautiful Palestinian baby.

Kinda hard, since the place was not called Palestine by anyone, until much later. And of course Jesus was a Jew.

UK newspaper: Jesus was a Palestinian

Anti-Israel article claims Christmas is celebration ‘of birth pains of a Palestinian refugee in Bethlehem’

Yaakov Lappin Published: 12.25.06, 21:23 / Israel News

An anti-Israel article, which appeared last week in a British newspaper, the Independent, claimed Christmas was a celebration of the “birth pains of a Palestinian refugee in Bethlehem” (Mary), before launching into an attack on Israel’s checkpoints in the West Bank.

According to the article, written by British columnist Johann Hari, during Christmas “a third of humanity will gather to celebrate the birth pains of a Palestinian refugee in Bethlehem - but two millennia later, another mother in another glorified stable in this rubble-strewn, locked-down town is trying not to howl.”

It added: “Fadia Jemal is a gap-toothed 27-year-old with a weary, watery smile. ‘What would happen if the Virgin Mary came to Bethlehem today? She would endure what I have endured,’ she says.”

‘21st century Marys being terrorized’

The article alleges that Jemal lost her baby due to a “road… blocked by Israeli soldiers, who said nobody was allowed to pass until morning.”

Quoting Jemal, the article added: “When I see the (Israeli) soldiers I keep thinking - what did my baby do to Israel?”

Hari described Palestinian women as “21st century Marys” who were being “terrorized.”

Various commentators have said that elements in Europe hostile to Israel have begun to portray Jesus as a Palestinian, and ancient Judea as a Palestinian entity.

The late Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat often denied that Jerusalem was the site of the Jewish temple, and described Jesus as a Palestinian.


Ahmadinejad: What would Jesus do today?

Iranian president in New Year’s message to Christians: ‘God willing, Jesus will return with Imam Mahdi and wipe away oppression’
Yaakov Lappin

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has sent a greeting to the world’s Christians for the coming New Year, in which he has linked Christianity’s deity, Jesus, with the Shiite messianic figure, Imam Mahdi, saying he expected both to return and “wipe away oppression.”

“I wish all the Christians a very happy new year and I wish to ask them a question as well,” the Iranian leader said, according to the Iranian Student News Agency

“My one question from the Christians is: What would Jesus do if he were present in the world today? What would he do before some of the oppressive powers of the world who are in fact residing in Christian countries? Which powers would he revive and which of them would he destroy?” the Iranian president asked.

“If Jesus were present today, who would be facing him and who would be following him?” He added.

‘Occupiers warned to evacuate Iraq’

Ahmadinejad then linked Jesus with Imam Mahdi, a Shiite leader believed by the Iranian president to have gone into hiding centuries ago, and who is expected by Shiite Muslims to return and usher in a period of messianic dominance for Islam.

“All I want to say is that the age of hardship, threat and spite will come to an end someday and God willing Jesus would return to the world along with the emergence of the descendant of the Islam’s Holy Prophet, Imam Mahdi and wipe away every tinge of oppression, pain and agony from the face of the world,” Ahmadinejad said.

The Iranian president also called on the United States and Britain to evacuate Iraq, saying, “We warn the occupiers that if they do not evacuate Iraq on their own accord, then the powerful hands of the Iraqi nation would do that and cast them out of this country in shame and humiliation.”

Abraham in Islam
Abraham - called Ibrahim in Islam - is very important to Islam, both in his own right and as the father of Ismail (Ishmael), his firstborn son.
Abraham (Ibrahim) is considered one of the first and most important prophets of Islam, and is commonly termed Khalil Ullah, Friend of God. (Islam regards most of the Old Testament “patriarchs” as prophets of God, and hence as Muslims.) While most Muslims believe that Adam, the first man, was the first Muslim (submitter to God), they universally agree that Abraham was a prophet of God (Allah is simply Arabic for God).


http://lexicorient.com/e.o/moses.htm

Moses is important to Islam as being one of Muhammad’s forerunners, bringing the same message to humans as Muhammad would be doing 2000 years later. Hence, Muslims consider Moses as a confirmation of the authenticity of the revelations received by and transmitted from Muhammad.

Interesting that I don't remember Palestine being mentioned in either the Old or New Testaments. There were different 'countries' mentioned; Judea, Samaria, Philistia, etc, but I don't remember reading anything about Palestine. Even doing a Google search for Ancient Palestine doesn't show any place that was actually called Palestine.

According to the map, from the 10th to 6th centuries BC, the area was divided into two Kingdoms, Israel and Judah, and Jews have occupied those lands ever since, even during the Babylonian Exile, when the elite classes were sent to Babylon, and tradespeople and others stayed. When Cyrus sent the others back from Babylon, he sent them back to specifically have a place to worship their God, in freedom. The area has been conquered many times, but the Jews have always been there. The Muslims didn't arrive until late in the 7th century, so they certainly have no prior claim on the land.

What most 'Palestinians' think of as their 'ancestral homeland' was actually a construct of the British Empire in the late 19th or early 20th century, so their beef shouldn't be with the US, it should be with the UK!

Yet another example of revisionist history from people who want to push the Israelis into the sea.
