| "Islam will dominate the world," destroying Nazareth |
| 2007-01-01 |
| Islamic groups held a large militant march down the main streets of Nazareth this weekend, highlighting for some here the plight of Christians in this ancient city where Muslims have become a majority and members of the dwindling Christian population say they suffer regular intimidation. Nazareth, considered one of the holiest cities for Christians, is described in the New Testament as the childhood home of Jesus. It contains multiple important shrines and churches, including the famous Church of the Basilica of the Annunciation, the site at which many Christians believe the Virgin Mary was visited by the Archangel Gabriel and told that she had been selected as the mother of Jesus. The Islamic Movement, the main Muslim political party in Nazareth, said it organized yesterday's march to celebrate Eid ul-Adha, or the Feast of the Sacrifice, which commemorates the Muslim belief Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son Ishmael for Allah. Christian and Jewish faith dictates it was Isaac, not Ishmael, whom Abraham almost sacrificed. |

| #6 TW, Nazareth is in (Green Line) Israel. But, as long as they refrain from open violence, there is nothing police can do. |

| #5 "Very strange" > prob for the same reasons on how a LIMITED ATTACK/WAR can suddenly devolve into a full-scale ATTACK/WAR OF [TOTAL]ANNIHILATION, when wanting to only = merely hurt or embarrass the USA-West becomes more than that when opportunity arises. |

| #4 The Palestinian Territories have complete self-government, very. It's not for Israel to impose her own morality, nor is there any reason to interpose on behalf of the Christian Palestinians , who've made it very clear they agree with their Muslim compatriots how they feel about Israel and Joooos. |

| #1 "The Islamic Movement's Zohbi told WND he is "optimistic" the mosque will eventually be built. "It's just a matter of time before we (the Islamic parties) dominate the city council and then the situation will be different," he said." Zobhi might temper his "optimism" by considering that others are optimistic that the Third Temple will be built on the site currently occupied by a few Islamic relics. "Islam shall rule all"!?! I think they are about to be evicted from the Big Brother house. |
