Another Dispatch in the "War on Christmas"
Like Simon and Garfunkle threading Silent Night through war news reports, I cannot resist putting these google news links back to back:
This Christmas:
Christians in Iraq remember their last Christmas service being broken up by armed guards, with the priest being beaten at the altar. Muslims in Saudia Arabia have been threatened with death for wishing Christians "happy holidays" much less "Merry Christmas." The President of Iran has announced that he will drive Christianity out of his country and is shutting down house-churches. In China, a protestant minister has been sentenced to 3 years in prison for printing Bibles.
Meanwhile, in America, 50 members of church groups protested outside a Sacramento Wal-Mart over what they see as the company's exclusion of Christmas from its seasonal advertising.
Truely, as Pat Robertson says, "Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different... Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history."
Happy holiday of your choice, y'all.
