[Daily Mail-UK] Elizabeth Day - Life for Palestinian Christians has become increasingly difficult in Bethlehem - and many of them are leaving. The town's Christian population has dwindled from more than 85 percent in 1948 to 12 percent in 2006. There are reports of religious persecution in the form of murders, beatings, and land grabs. The sense of a creeping Islamic fundamentalism is all around in Bethlehem. Samir Qumsieh, general manager of Nativity, the only Christian television station in Bethlehem, has had death threats and visits from armed men demanding his land. "As Christians, we have no future here," he says. "We are melting away. Next summer I will leave this country to go to the States....I would rather have a beautiful dream in my head about what my home is like, not the nightmare of the reality." 2006-12-22 01:00:00Full Article
O, Muslim Town of Bethlehem
