Palestinian Abomination: The Danger to Christians
What would a Hamas Government might bring? Christians under cover
If Hamas installs strict Islamic religious rule, Palestinian Christians stand to become a legally subjugated minority inside Palestinian societyIn a nod to religious Muslims, the only Palestinian beer brewery is putting the finishing touches on its first non-alcoholic beer
Palestinian educator Dr. Maria Khoury geared up for the winter chill with what was at the time a meaningless purchase: a black silk scarf with silver stripes to drape around her neck.
But now, on her daily excursions from the West Bank's Taiba to nearby Ramallah, the scarf serves as a political symbol of the changing times.
"Since Hamas took over, I cover my head in Ramallah," she says. "I don't feel comfortable."[...]
I have a problem with the article: it assumes that, as of this moment, Christians living under Islamic rule in Palestine are not second-class citizens. In fact, they already are. The danger to Christians is not being discriminated against--that's already happenning. The danger lies in a more vicious, unrelenting discrimination.
