David Bedein writes me:
On December 26th, 2007, IRNA dispatched two top reporters to spend Christmas week in Bethlehem to examine allegations of official persecution of Christians in Bethlehem at the hands of the PA:
1. Land Grab of Christian lands - Christian loss of land to their PA rulers, which is forcing a Christian exodus from the city, which is now less than 20 percent Christian.
2. Blackmail to PA/gangs - How Christians have to pay blackmail to the PA and gangs for protection.
3. Rapes - How Christian women are harassed repeatedly by Moslems in Bethlehem and in nearby villages. .
4. Conversion - forced conversion and kidnapping also occurs, from Chrisitanity to Islam .
5. Sharia - Under the PA , Sharia, or Islamic law is enforced, changing Palestinian Christian's lives. This type of Sharia demands that Christians live as second class citizens and if they do not accept, they face violence and beatings.
Here are our articles that ran in the Philadelphia Bulletin last month concerning the persecution of Christians at the hands of the PA,
1. "Walking With Fear In The Holiest Of Lands"
2. Christians Uneasy In Bethlehem
3. Tense Relations Between Christians And Muslims Have Changed Bethlehem's Demographic
4. 'The Lord Is My Refuge': Can A Christian Walk Freely In Bethlehem?
5. Bethlehem Churches Bear Brunt Of Religious Hatred

If there's one fact about Islam that every non-Muslim should know, it is that the Islamic system of ethics and morality is totally different from all other religions.
Despite all the talk of 'Abrahamic faiths', Islam is utterly alien to the Judeo-Christian heritage.
The moral systems of all major religions, apart from Islam, are centred on the ethic of reciprocity - the Golden Rule 'Do not do to another what would be hurtful to you' (all the rest is commentary).
But there is no Golden Rule in Islam. Reciprocity only applies between 'brothers' (fellow Muslim males) and does not extend to women and non-Muslims.
Instead, the Muslim ethical system is centred on the personality of the Cult leader himself - the sadistic, psychopathic pervert and charlatan Mohammed.
Muslims revere Mohammed as uswa hasana , a model for all time.
Whatever Muhammad did is what Muslims must do. There is no better pattern for life than the example of Muhammad, al-insan al-kamil, the Best of Men, to be emulated by all Muslims.
Mohammed was a murderer, torturer, robber, warlord, mutilator, rapist, liar and pedophile.
If, as some believe, G_d has placed the Golden Rule at the heart of the world's religions, then surely Islam is an utter abomination.
