The MSM media have ignored Christians once again. This time in not reporting the exclusion of all Palestinians except Muslims from the Fatah-Hamas summit. The summit was held at Mecca in Saudi Arabia where non-muslim’s are forbidden.
<><>A highway sign in Saudi Arabia on the road to Mecca. It remains to be seen what was accomplished at the Fatah-Hamas summit held earlier this month. Yet one thing was made abundantly clear by the very fact of the meeting — Palestinian Christians have new cause to worry about their religious liberty.The feuding Palestinian parties met in the holy city of Mecca (Makkah), hosted by Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah. Mecca is an odd choice for a summit site, because non-Muslims are not permitted to enter the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medinah. There are checkpoints on the highways into the holy cities, at which non-Muslim motorists who may have missed the “Muslims Only” signs are advised not to go any further.
[...] But the principal question is for those Palestinian people who wish “to recover their national rights” as King Abdullah puts it. Are those national rights to be understood in Islamic terms? Is the long delayed Palestinian state to be an Islamic republic? And if Palestinian leaders feel comfortable meeting in cities where Christians are banned, what confidence can Christians worldwide have that our holy sites — in Bethlehem and the Old City of Jerusalem — would be safeguarded should they ever come under the jurisdiction of a Palestinian state?
The question is whether a new Palestinian state, if it ever becomes a reality, has already been declared Islamic? If so; why has no one spoken up about the exclusion of non-Muslims including Iraqi Chaldean Christians, Egyptian Coptic Christians, Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic’s? The MSM apparently did not notice or did not care. Not a good sign for the future of Palestinians Christians.
