   ....[1]more lies from Reuters, who, unbelievably, claims that
   Christians suffer no persecution from Muslims in Palestine, despite
   multiple documented incidents of persecution and claims from
   Palestinian Muslims themselves that they will drive the infidels out
   of the Holy Land.

     For years, media outlets have largely refused to report one of the
     most troubling aspects of the Mideast conflict â Muslim
     intimidation and violence against Christians in
     Palestinian-controlled areas.
     The latest shocking episode again made its way to very few news
     consumers: Late Saturday night (Sept. 3), hundreds of armed
     Palestinian Muslims crying âAllahu Akbarâ descended on the West
     Bank Christian city of Taibe. For the next few hours, the mob
     terrorized the community, setting sixteen homes and multiple
     businesses on fire, looting valuables from both, and destroying a
     statue of the Virgin Mary.
     Said one eyewitness: âIt was like a war, they arrived in groups,
     and many of them were holding clubs.â
     The mobâs âprovocationâ? A Muslim woman from their neighboring
     village had had a relationship with a Christian man from Taibe. The
     woman was poisoned to death by her own family in an âhonor
     killingâ, and soon after, the pogrom against Taibe commenced.

   Religion of peace my ass!
   Nevertheless, Reuters can't seem to find a single instance of Muslim
   mistreatment of Christians in Palestine.
   And we call these people reporters?
