Christian missionaries have been active across much of the Muslim Middle East for hundreds of years, at least as far back as the Crusades.

Christian missionaries were active in the Middle East before Islam even existed!

I wonder if the Times would be so understanding if it were Muslim missionaries being gunned down here in Amrika? Or would they be bemoaning the racist backlash against innocent peaceful Muslims?

Why can't they condemn religious bigotry in all its forms? Because THEY HATE CHRISTIANS. If no Christians subscribed to the NYT, it would go out of business. Unfortunately, there are enough self-hating Christians to keep it afloat.

I view most of the Times's Christian subscribers as being "Christians" in name only, as much as Madonna is a Christian for hanging a big gold cross around her neck.

Fortunately, boycott or no boycott, the Times has been having increasing problems with the public (witness their editors' news conference a few months ago "explaining" their positions on Iraq). They have not yet entered the downward spiral that has already captured MSNBC, CNN and the like, but their day may come soon...

"Christian missionaries were active in the Middle East before Islam even existed!"

Bingo!

But because, by violence, the missionaries were forced to stop, they are rquired to be silent for all time? NYT shallow thinking at work (work?) again.
