Kristna kidnappade och tvångskonverterade i Gaza

Det finns fortfarande en liten grupp

kristna kvar i Hamas Gaza.

De behandlas självklart som dhimmis.

Den lite ovanliga källan till denna nyhet

är PLO:s "nyhetsbyrå" Ma´an:

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Christians in the

Gaza Strip staged a sit-in protest on

Monday after the family of a young man

said he was being forced to convert to

Islam by an armed group, Ma'an's

correspondent said.

Dozens of Christians protested in the

Orthodox church in Gaza City, claiming

that a Christian man and two girls had

been kidnapped. A Muslim association

said they had converted to Islam of

their own free will.
**
Greek Orthodox Archbishop Alexios said

Ramiz al-Amash had been kidnapped by

an Islamist group on Saturday after

attempts to force him to convert from

Christianity to Islam and he was pre-

vented from calling his family.

**

Archbishop Alexios said al-Amash's

parents "went to the police to lodge

a complaint about the kidnapping of

their son, but they did nothing."

**
Al-Amash's mother became sick and

had to be taken to hospital.

The family managed to contact the

kidnappers and they took Ramiz to

see her surrounded by three jeeps

filled with gunmen. They then took

him away again to an unknown

location.
**
"There are some groups trying to

persuade young Christians to convert

to Islam. They abduct them away

from their parents and their families,

they threaten them," he said.

Archbishop Alexios called on officials

to intervene to stop abductions,

stressing that there has been a good

relationship between Muslims and

Christians over the past years.

Påståendet om det "goda förhållandet"

mellan muslimer och kristna är minst

sagt nonsens. En dhimmi kan möjligen

tolereras, men aldrig respekteras av

muslimer.

Bat Ye’or beskriver vad dhimmiskapet

innebar:

"Dhimmis were excluded from public office

and armed service, and were forbidden to

bear arms. They were not allowed to ride

horses or camels, to build synagogues or

churches taller than mosques, to construct

houses higher than those of Muslims or to

drink wine in public. They were forced to

wear distinctive clothing and were not

allowed to pray or mourn in loud voices —

as that might offend Muslims.

The dhimmi also had to show public

deference toward Muslims; for example,

always yielding them the center of the road.

The dhimmi was not allowed to give evidence

in court against a Muslim, and his oath was

unacceptable in an Islamic court. To defend

himself, the dhimmi would have to purchase

Muslim witnesses at great expense. This left

the dhimmi with little legal recourse when

harmed by a Muslim"
