Christians aren’t just fleeing Islamic intimidation in Bethlehem. Now, WorldNetDaily‘s Aaron Klein describes a similar phenomenon in Nazareth:
But Christians interviewed here said otherwise. Like Bethlehem’s Christians, those in Nazareth spoke of attacks against Christian-owned shops and told stories of Christian women being raped by Muslim men. They noted several instances of interreligious violence and Muslim riots they said began when Muslims attacked Christian worshippers. The Muslims claimed Christians started the violence.
Israeli security officials say the majority of anti-Christian violence in Nazareth goes unreported because local Christians are too afraid to report crimes.
One Christian resident said violence and intimidation tend to increase around the time of local elections. The Islamic parties, once in the minority, are now one seat away from dominating Nazareth’s city council.
Christians throughout the Mideast are feeling the heat from their Muslim neighbors.
