#1 Reports that Israel is considering allowing a group of gunmen who were deported in 2002 after hiding inside the Church of the Nativity to return home have left some Christian residents here seriously concerned for their safety. Thirteen of the gunmen were deported to different European countries, while another 26 were expelled to the Gaza Strip. The gunmen, belonging to both Fatah and Hamas, were holed up in the church for 39 days before European mediators reached a deal with Israel according to which the fugitives would be permitted to walk out unharmed.

While recognizing Islam's pre-existing obsession with anti-Semetic genocide, the terrorist desecration (and that is what it was), of the The Nativity in 2002 was an Islamic Kristallnacht against all Christianity as well. I will even go so far as to say this is positive proof that the threat of destroying Mecca and Medina may need to end up being part of some final sword of Damocles forever held above the head of unreformed Islam.

Even the United States' wholly justified and laudable military efforts against Islamism are woefully insufficient compared to what eventually will be required. The only thing you can count on is that the longer this is put off, the more horrible the resolution of it will be. Islam, as it stands, will force it to be that way.
