"Since the Palestinian Authority left the Gaza Strip, festive celebrations and displays of crucifixes have become taboo.
Christians in Gaza say they face intimidation and arrest over Christmas celebrations since Hamas took charge in 2007.
...Of the 1.5 million Palestinians now living in the Gaza Strip, fewer than 1,400 are Christian and those who can are leaving. The church hopes reconciliation will bring them back.
There hasn't been a Christmas tree in Gaza City's main square since Hamas pushed the Palestinian Authority out of Gaza in 2007 and Christmas is no longer a public holiday."
I wonder if Hamas is violating the Qur'an by doing this. According to the Qur'an, Muslims must respect Christians.
Merry Christmas!
Thanks Bruno for sharing.

Pure Propaganda
Is it not true that Hamas discourages Christmas celebrations?
Hey at least Hamas doesn't bomb churches on Christmas.
"Islamist militants set off bombs across in Nigeria on Christmas Day - three targeting churches including one that killed at least 27 people - raising fears that they are trying to ignite sectarian civil war."
Hey Mr. Bush the Liberator
Would you feel bitter if your land was stolen from you, you were kicked out of your home, your livelihood destroyed, your people murdered, and your future being destroyed before your very eyes?
Enough said
