Religious persecution in Gaza

Gunmen destroy Gaza Strip's YMCA library, kidnap guards

Unidentified gunmen blew up the YMCA library in the Gaza Strip on Friday morning. No one was hurt, but the library was completely destroyed.

Sources in Gaza told The Jerusalem Post the attack was in response to the re-publication of cartoons "ridiculing" the Prophet Muhammad in a number of Danish newspapers last week.

The sources said at least 12 gunmen participated in the assault, the latest in a series of attacks on Christian figures and institutions.

So apparently Palestinian-Christians in Gaza are responsible for the actions of Danish newspapers?

Anyway I raise this issue because in other threads recently it's been suggested that Palestinian-Islamist hatred can generally be blamed on the targets of that hatred rather than the perpetrators. I wonder if the same apologists will blame these Christians? If so, why? If not, why not?

Cartoons of Muhammad in Danish newspapers? Again? Or are they talking about the same ones that were published two years ago?

Recently they were republished by a number of Danish papers as a statement on freedom of the press.

After a plot to kill one of the cartoonists was uncovered.

*crickets*

:p

This is by the way what I meant in the other thread, when I was talking about the dehumanisation of themselves. I[sraelis] don't need IDF training to think less of people that destroy things and lives because someone made fun of their "prophet" for example. But I'm a racist anyway, right? :rolleyes:
