Title: Hamas pressing Gaza Christians to become Muslims Post by: Shammu on August 13, 2007, 01:24:42 AM Hamas pressing Gaza Christians to become Muslims
The Hamas rulers of the Gaza Strip are pressuring local Christians to either become Muslims or leave the area, according to Palestinian officials who spoke to Middle East Newsline. The charge comes less than a week after reports revealed that Gaza's top female academic had been abducted and forced to convert and marry a Muslim man. Sana Al Sayegh, who was born a Christian, remains the dean of the Science and Technology Faculty at Palestine University in Gaza City. Her Hamas-affiliated university colleagues were reportedly behind her abduction and forced conversion. In a further sign of Hamas' intent to create an Islamic state in Gaza, the group has offered to reduce prison sentences by one year for any inmates who grow a beard in compliance with Islamic law and memorize at least five chapters of the Koran. A mere 2,000 Christians live in the Gaza Strip amid a Muslim population of 1.5 million. When Hamas seized control of the area in June, one of the group's leaders warned that local Christians would have to submit to strict Islamic law.

NOT!! Since to die is gain in Jesus' name. I just as soon become a martyr for His cause, rather than bow to the great allah! Remember what Christ said in Luke chapter 21 concerning the last days? Luke 21:16 You will be delivered up and betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and [some] of you they will put to death. See any similarities?? |
