1. "Getout or Getkilled" is the Hamas message to Christians!
KMR ,   Middle East   (10.07.07)
2. The "Religion of Peace and Tolerance" Hits Again!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (10.07.07)
Yes, I've heard it before "We, Palestinians and Christians are not from different planets. We are brothers. We are the same people." Yeah, right! Until the crazed Mosque preachers reach the Qur'an part dealing with "massacre the non-believers". After that, it's hunting season!
3. President Bush says all religions worship the same God
Rivkah   (10.07.07)
according to World Net Daily internet news. Maybe he should read some more since you couldn't tell by world events. Eric Bonhoffer would call the death of this man "The Cost of Discipleship", the title of one of his books. Where is the homeland for Christians? There is a homeland for persecuted Jews which is good. Shouldn't there be a place for persecuted Christians to go for refuge, too?
4. The Talibanazis strike in Gaza
(10.07.07)
Since when does owning a bookshop selling Christian books count as proselytizing? Christians need to speak out against Muslim extremism and remind them that Muslims do not have a monopoly on religion in this world; Christians do.
5. Murdered for his Christian faith
Juan ,   Spain   (10.07.07)
Quote: "This crime will not pass unpunished and the ministry has opened an investigation," the Interior Ministry said in a statement. We will await with bated breaths for an early arrest then.
6. Islam again shows its true colors...#1 is right
bjl ,   usa   (10.07.07)
KMR is right. Islam is murderous. This is why Europe will have to remove the Islamizts from its midst before it is too late.
7. WE must do something
Fernando ,   spain   (10.07.07)
palis are terrorists,dont have respect for those who arent the same as them.To all christians, jews and rest of world:PLEASE NEVER ,NEVER HELP PALIS, OSTRACIZE ALL
8. I wonder if the BBC will show this
jack ,   london   (10.07.07)
Never, the leftist facsists in control would not even think of it unless they can somehow blame it on Israel
9. For everyone practicing evil hates the light...
Norway   (10.07.07)
and does not come to the light, lest his deeds... SHOULD BE EXPOSED. John 3:20 NKJ Heed, my son the command of your father, and do not forsake the teaching of your mother... Tie them to your heart always, entwine them upon your neck. As you go forth, it will guide you... as you recline, it will guard you... and when you awake, it will converse with you... FOR A COMMANDMENT IS A LAMP AND THE TORAH IS LIGHT... and reproving dicipline is the way of life... TO GUARD YOU FROM AN EVIL WOMAN... (idolatry) from the smoothness of the foreign womans tongue... Proverbs 6:20-24 Hear, my son, your Father's instruction... (the Torah) and do not forsake your Mother's Torah. Mishlei - Proverbs 1:8 It is taught that "Father" in this verse refers to God, while "Mother" refers to the nation of Israel. "Your Mother's Torah" refers to religious customs which were established by the Jewish people. These have the status of Torah and are binding.
10. #8 Jack, It IS Israel’s Fault!
ER ,   Canada   (10.07.07)
Israel has never clearly stood up and stated that all of Palestine belongs to the Jews by right of being G-d-given and conquer. Instead, they vacate and abandon Gaza to the Morons and declare all else as being negotiable. G_d clearly stated in His Torah that the whole region belongs to the Jews and any Gentile sojourners must give up their religion and abide by the Noachide Laws. These rules are non- negotiable. Tear down their minarets and crosses and deport the lot!
11. When they came for the Jews, the Christian stayed silent...
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (10.07.07)
...now they come for the Christians, and there remains no one to stand for the them!
12. "the ministry has opened an investigation"
Israel   (10.07.07)
Who's Interior Ministry? Gaza's? Who are they kidding? Of all the Palestinians to be considered for "Law of Return," these Christians should be at the front of the line - ASAP. If we can invite and tolerate corrosive elements from the fake Christian-Jewish-whatever FSU, we can do this.
13. These are the Islamic terrorists Bush rewards
Marcel ,   Florida   (10.07.07)
he wants to give them their own state on land ethnically cleansed of every Jew and a majority of Jews and Christians are helping him.
14. BBC "Release Alan Now" Gang will not do Silent Vigil in Lond
Alan ,   SA   (10.07.07)
15. #7 Perhaps we here in America should return the favor &
Pink Floyd ,   usa   (10.07.07)
blow up every mosque and bookstore that sells books, tapes, & copies of the qaran. Do ya think that will send a message?
16. they suspect a muslim extremist group
Millie   (10.07.07)
they are all extremists, fatah, hamas, islamic jihad, they're all just code names to fool the public, it's the same old PLO terror organisation.
17. protestant holy bible society?
Ken   (10.07.07)
do you mean the Bible Society?
18. Good God, the Islamic world looks more poisonous by the day.
Cameron ,   USA   (10.07.07)

augustine e johnson ,   birmingham-usa   (10.07.07)
hero and martyr -------- he was pro israel ------- shalom to all the lovers of israel and to all israel === augustine --- usa
20. #9 - Correct. Too many Muslims practice Evil...
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (10.07.07)
LOL - what a lame collection of quotes trying to smear Christianism and Judaism. Tell me - how many Jewish or Christian suicide bombers have you met lately? How many Priests or rabbis preach to kill and rape the "non believers"? How many terrorist attacks have been perpetrated since '48 by Jews and Christians? Yes, maybe The Book is cruel in some portions but NOT IN ALL THE PARTS like the Qur'an. In addition, practicing mainstream Judaism and Christianism in the 20th and 21st century means going to Church or the Synagogue, not kidnapping foreign relief workers and decapitating them in front of a TV camera. It does not mean also to cut hands of thieves and stone or decapitate women (like in Saudi Arabia and Taliban's Afghanistan. Yes, religion may be a cruel thing but if you still practice like in the Dark Ages, then it's it is YOU who are cruel. And sadly, for the last 100 years, Muslims have been practicing Islam just like they did 1500 years ago, when they set to convert or kill the entire world. Your disinformation does not work. And the best people to prove you are wrong are your co-religionists - the Muslims. Every day somebody dies killed by a Muslim. And teh victim is invariably somebody of another religion - and sometimes even Muslims who are not "Muslim enough". Today, Muslims have lost their humanity as a result of brutal religious incitement combined with years of living under tyranical and corrupt Muslim dictators who have kept them in poverty, analphabetism and lack of any kind of education. Moreover, instead of looking for ways to bring themselves out of this they are sinking deeper into their religious, primitive and barbaric frenzy. What a pityful gang.
21. #20- Sir, your words ring only too true.
Cameron ,   USA   (10.07.07)
22. World-wide Persecution
Christy ,   Boston, MA   (10.08.07)
The killings of Christians, taking place today, aren't reported very often. Thanks to Ynet for reporting this. Many Christians have been, and are being, murdered under Communist Regimes. Also in countries where there's a large (enough) Muslim presence. Even in the US, this has happened. A Coptic community on the US' East Coast (NJ) has had its members harassed and murdered by Egyptian Muslims in the US. Took this community a while before police officials would listen to them about what was taking place. Christians have various websites like Voice of The Martyrs where one can read about the various murders and persecutions. The regular press takes very little notice of it. Hopefully there's some sort of aid network in place for the Palis. Christians. I imagine this man's family will be in need of support for a while. It's been prophesied that many Christians will be martyred as The End approaches. It's supposed to be worse than the persecution of the 1st century church under Rome.
23. And who can stop these ugly people
(10.08.07)
24. For the LORD God is a sun and a shield...
Norway   (10.08.07)
THE LORD GIVETH GRACE AND GLORY... No good thing will He withhold from them... THAT WALK UPRIGHTLY. O LORD of Hosts, happy is the man that trusteth in Thee... Psalm 84:12-13 Hashem is my shepherd, I shall not lack... Psalm 23:1 Fear Hashem, O (you) His holy ones, for there is no deprivation for His reverent ones. Psalm 34:10 Blessed is the man who trusts in Hashem... THEN HASHEM WILL BE HIS SECURITY... He will be like a tree planted near water... which spreads out its roots along a brook... and does not see when heat comes, whose foliage is ever fresh... it will not worry in a year of drought AND WILL NOT STOP PRODUCING FRUIT... The heart is the most deceitfful of all... and it is fragile - who can know it? I, HASHEM, PLUMB THE FEELINGS AND TEST THE INNERMOST thoughts... TO GIVE TO MAN ACCORDING to his ways... THE FRUIT OF HIS DEEDS. Jeremiah 17:7-10 Hashem will punish the peoples, judge me, Hashem... reward me according to my righteousness and my integrity. LET THE EVIL OF THE WICKED destroy them... BUT YOU WILL SUSTAIN the righteous one... FOR THE SEARCHER OF HEARTS and minds... IS THE RIGHTEOUS GOD.* *God knows the true character of each person and metes out His justice accordingly. My protection lies with God... WHO SAVES THE UPRIGHT of heart... God is a righteous Judge, and God is angered every day...* *God is ever mindful of evil and holds the instruments of retribution in readiness. If one does not repent, He will sharpen His sword... he has bent His bow and aimed it. And for him He prepared the instruments of death, He will use His arrows against those in hot pursuit. Behold, he conceives iniquity, is pregnant with evil schemes, but he gives birth to failure... HE HAS DUG A PIT, AND DUG IT DEEP... ONLY TO FALL INTO A TRAP of his making... HIS MISCHIEF WILL RECOIL UPON his (own) head... AND UPON HIS (OWN) SKULL WILL his violence descend... Then I will thank Hashem ... accordingly to His righteousness. AND SING PRAISES TO THE NAME of Hashem the Supreme... Psalm 7:9 -18
25. killing christians..
dominique ,   Pinellas Park USA   (10.08.07)
Sickened by people who can say nothing but blame Israel; I must warn christians that in scripture we are warned that in the later days perilous times would come and that we will be persecuted..we see that happening all over the world. Support Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Israel do not cave in to the world Psalm 83 read what King David wrote. Shalom and God bless
26. Martyr of Gaza
Marilyn ,   USA   (10.08.07)
In todays world people seem so full of fear, but he seemed to be one of those rare people who didn't allow fear to get the best of him. I read in the bible about it, and it says that perfect love casts out fear, and also all things work together for good to them that love G-d.
27. WHAT ????
Mark ,   Georgia, USA   (10.09.07)
" Attacks against Christian sites in the territory are rare but at least 40 Internet cafes and video cassette shops have been blown up in the past year." Interesting definition of " rare " only 40 internet cafe and and video shops have been blown up " the last year " WOW, who writes this crap!! What does it take for " rare " to become " common place " Ah, the wonderful freedom in Gaza stabbing a unarmed man repeatedly to death. Just because he believes in a different religion. It is sad people defend these people who have NO honor. No wonder they are hated by most of the Arab world and only brought out as show pieces. How humiliating for the Palestinians. Submitted for your approval...or not Mark from Georgia
