From From Lebanon to Hizbullahstan: Christians have been fleeing Lebanon for decades. Though a census hasn’t been taken in 75 years, Nizar Hamze of the American University of Beirut estimates that there are between eight and nine births per Shiite household, compared to five for Sunnis and two for Christians and Druze. These numbers must ultimately count against an outmoded constitutional order geared to favor Christians first, Sunnis second, and Shiites third. But even if Lebanon cannot escape its Shiite destiny, it is not ordained that it must also become a Hizbullah state, taking its orders from Tehran.

Qatar has built a church in Doha, which is a precedent, since Muslim thoecracies severely repress non-Islamic religious expression. Via Daniel Pipes: For some years now, the Vatican has made reciprocity the key to its relations with Muslim-majority states. For example, Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, the Vatican equivalent of foreign minister, commented in 2003 that “There are too many majority Muslim countries where non-Muslims are second-class citizens” and pushed for reciprocity: “Just as Muslims can build their houses of prayer anywhere in the world, the faithful of other religions should be able to do so as well.” That sounded good, but

Christians, you’re targets as well. From Expert: “Christian Groups in PA to Disappear”: The ever-dwindling Christian communities living in Palestinian-run territories in the West Bank and Gaza are likely to dissipate completely within the next 15 years as a result of increasing Muslim persecution and maltreatment, international human rights lawyer Justus Reid Weiner said Monday.

The certain result? The remaining Christian Serbs would be killed or driven out of their homes! And a rogue terrorist state would be created in Europe. Why does he want that? Because, with the support of top Democrats, he thinks he can buy the

From Christians Are Persona Non Grata in Gaza: The murder on Oct. 7 of Rami Ayad, who worked at Gaza’s Bible Society, has persuaded many in the 3,000-strong Christian community they are no longer welcome in Gaza.

Christians have been in Gaza since the fourth century, but Ayad’s murder follows a series of incidents that has shaken the community’s desire to stay. “Everything has changed. In the times of
