MIDDLE EAST COVERAGE
Gaza's Christians Fear for their Lives [Tom Gross]
Bibles are being burned and churches ransacked and yet the many (at least nominally) Christian reporters covering the Mideast seem almost completely uninterested in the plight of Christians at the hands of Islamic extremists.
It has been left to the Jerusalem Post’s Palestinian affairs correspondent Khaled Abu Toameh – a Muslim – to take up the story :
Christians living in Gaza City on Monday appealed to the international community to protect them against increased attacks by Muslim extremists. Many Christians said they were prepared to leave the Gaza Strip as soon as the border crossings are reopened.
"The masked gunmen used rocket-propelled grenades to storm the main entrances of the school and church," Father Manuel Musalam, leader of the small Latin community in the Gaza Strip, said. "Then they destroyed almost everything inside, including the Cross, the Holy Book, computers and other equipment."
