You just have to love the irony of this:
Three small pipe bombs were thrown at a Greek Orthodox church in Gaza city Friday, a church official and police said.
A church official in Gaza City, Nabil Ayad, said one bomb was thrown at the facade of the church, shattering glass windows of a nearby van. The main entrance was blackened.
Two other small bombs were thrown inside the church compound, Ayad said. The extent of damage was not clear yet, Ayad, the caretaker of the church said.
There were no reports of injuries. Police officials said the assailants hurled small pipe bombs at the church, which make a loud noise, but cause little damage.
They’re indiscriminate, angry and violent about being characterized as indiscriminate, angry and violent.
How much you want to bet this doesn’t appear in the next State Department report of religious freedoms as Islamic intolerance of the holy sites of other religions?
Here we see the disadvantages of a neglected education. About half the churches attacked in the aftermath of the Pope’s speech belong to denominations that do not have the Pope as their spiritual head.
Ironic, Ironic, Ireneus. The Greek Orthodox Church in Israel is not very found of the Jewish State. Remember the bruo-hah-hah when some property was sold to a Jewish owner?
None of the Palestinian Christian groups is friendly to Israel, but most of the Palestinian Christians have moved to Israel from the PA’s benign, godfatherly-like embrace because they were being persecuted and oppressed by the Muslim Arabs. This persecution is not unique to the PA, but is occurring all over the region. Soon it will be the case that the only state in the Middle East where Christians can live without fear of persecution will be the Jewish one.
