1. Patent rubbish
Thinkpad ,   London, UK   (08.06.07)
This story is a clear fabrication and an insult to readers' intelligence
2. #1 - what makes you think it's been
(08.06.07)
fabricated? It wouldn't be the first time that this has happened.
3. Looks like there is more to this story...
Rami   (08.06.07)
mynt things don't make sence...
4. BottomLine:: This is Muslim Brotherhood(Hamas) ideology!!
KMR ,   Middle East   (08.06.07)
sooner or later, 3-states/entities (Gaza, WBank & Christian WBank) will eventually emerge.

Hamas members denied the accusations, accusing rival Fatah of spreading lies even though the professor
6. Thinkpad--Excellent point!
dave ,   chicago   (08.06.07)
But how do you arrive at it?
7. Where is Britain's academic Union?where are world' churches?
Hanna   (08.06.07)
Why dont' these Britain's academic Union bycott Hamas ? Why are the world churchs quite? busy making evil plans for bycotting Israel?
8. 1 - based on what?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (08.06.07)
seeing how last year a fox news reporter and cameraman in GAZA were ABDUCTED by ISLAMIC nutjobs and were FORCED to CONVERT to islam on camera, what evidence to the contrary do you have to boldly assert this is false? not such a far-fetched scenario, don't you think? sounds like you are unhappy that your muslim buddies continue to give the world enough evidence to safely conclude that your co-religionists are sufficiently disturbed to the core. pitiful.
9. What is the Church's official stance on this issue?
Evan ,   Israel   (08.06.07)
Where is the Church? Where is the vatican? Why aren't they commenting? Where are the human rights groups?
10. BBC
Sam ,   Jerusalem   (08.06.07)
It would be nice for the BBC to show just how unbiased they are and publish this story Somehow I doubt they will !
11. THE PROBLEM WITH EUROPEANS IS THEY LACK FAITH
David P. ,   Central Coast, USA   (08.06.07)
Reading some of these talk backs from Europeans who can't believe their favorite charity sponsor hamas is capable of such horrific crimes against humanity need to enlighten their imaginations a bit further.
12. Clearly,fabricated!The head of the christian Latin church
lakshmi   (08.06.07)
has regular contacts with Haniyeh & has said that attacks on the church were by vandals,nothing to do with Hamas.There are 2 AlQaida affiliated groups in Gaza,the Sword of Islam(responsible for social extremism forcing women to wear head scarves etc.attcking churches)&Army of Islam(who kidnapped Johnston)Either of these could have done this,if it happened at all.Hamas has no reason to do this.They have introduced law & order &are doing very well.I believe it was Ynet which had a picture of a beach where kids were playing about & a taxi driver said that Hamas guards are there to protect women against miscreants.An Irish delegation visited & said that young women were going around without hejab's or scarves.Hamas is doing very well.Haniyeh said that no one will be forced to do anything.Only those who break the law will be apprehended.They follow Basic Palestinian Law.Mishal recently said in Quatar they have no intention of establishing an islamic emirate.
13. how does a "forcibly" converted look like ?
observer   (08.06.07)
1.does she now has black face? no, even if she is wearing a hijab , she can have it in white or yellow color. can not she now phone her family if she wishes ? Yes of course; if she 2.can show up to work, she can freely phone her family. 3.was she abducted and made to do things she didn't want to do, as the "source" saw very clearly? Yes, she has shown up to work; who on the earth wants to do such a thing like "go to work" !
14. Here's an idea!! (And #10 why BBC won't publish this)
Khalid ,   Gaza City   (08.06.07)
Why don't you call, write, get in touch with SANAA ELSAYEGH HERSELF!!?? I'm sure she'd be able to tell you the truth. Or did Hamas also use a secret potion that replaced her memory of the event with a new one, kind of like in Men in Black! BBC won't publish this story because it's completely and utterly false, just as so many other WND stories are. PS: Ms Elsayegh has already denied this story and if you can read arabic you can find it on many news outlets with a simple search.
15. #12 I thought hamas was "in charge" of Gaza
rachel ,   usa   (08.06.07)
16. If Islam is so abhorrent to a Christian, what was she doing
(08.06.07)
in Gaza?
17. #16 good question
Cameron ,   USA   (08.06.07)
Perhaps making a futile effort at trying to impart some education & rationality to the Islamic masses? And Islam struck back
18. # 9 RC not Church
Grafted Wild Olive S ,   Sojourner   (08.07.07)
Evan, the Roman Catholic Church is a cult just like Mormons, JW, Xtian Science etc. They do not follow the Bible; they are idolaters and pray to Mary. The true church of God consists of all born again believers as described in the Bible. John’s gospel, particularly chapter 3 makes this very clear. I'd love to pass on more information to you if you are interested please email me. Baruch Hashem Adonai
