Gaza Christians sense pressure to convert to Islam

[Bratva]

Go on, don't stop there, google the demographics yourself. Be sure to divide regions into Israel proper, Israeli-controlled territory, P.A. territory, and Gaza.

My #2 said it all.

This particular story isn't about Hamas killing Christians but stealing and "pressuring" them.

These Christians are "Palestinians" who have suffered killings and eviction at the hands of Hamas and other extremists, yes?

Like I said in #2, you can't bring yourself to speak up to defend the rights and liberties of the persecuted, whether a Christian or a "zionist minded jew". Don't you think you need to? And if not, why not?

Lame excuses just to satisfy your ego and and to bring Pakistan in every subject.

Muslims having tendency to make problems everywhere.

Nonsence, Lack of Religious freedom and education is the problem. You would not such problem in Turkey compared to the Arab world..

9 conversions in 6 years doesn't scream forced conversions.

Those were just the "known" ones. Don't you suspect something more happened to upset the Christian community?

It explicitly states in the article Hamas is not the ones they have a problem with. In fact it also states Hamas has been protecting them from the radicals.

Hamas is a terrorist organization and it is not unusual for reporters dealing with such to make compromises and even tell outright untruths to get a story out; you have to learn to read between the lines. Didn't you notice that the statements complimenting Hamas lacked supporting details or references? That should ring a warning bell to you.

I refuted your statements and asked you questions; your response is to call them "excuses". Now, who can think of any excuse to believe you? I appears you find me perfectly convincing but don't want to admit it. Aren't you just trying to avoid the embarrassment of being a Muslim conceding to a Jew?

Our Islamic teachings do not tell us to force another person to convert and on a refusal to kill a person
these acts was practised by the old idol worshippers.have as the Holy prophet said
"let there be no compulsion in religion"
there are some ill mannered people who disgraced Islam as they say a,"A BLACK SHEEP SPOILS THE WHOLE FLOCK"
but good Muslims like me and some other people wish only peace and harmony to the world

Our Islamic teachings do not tell us to force another person to convert -

That's your internal argument. To the outside observer what Islam is is what those who claim to be Muslims do, and what is seen is that Muslims allow other Muslims to steal non-Muslim women and marry them by while or force and compel them to remain with their new spouses out of terror.

Killings of Christians by Hamas? now you bringing ghost stories to justify your lame ego? your jewish genes affecting your reading and comprehension skills especially when it comes to Muslims and Pakistan. here some qoutes from article so you stop your bad habit of selective reading and than building your arguments on that selective reading and making fool of your self in the end

A Gaza church was bombed in 2009 by al Qaeda-influenced Islamists but since then, Greek Orthodox Archbishop Alexios, says, churches have been safe. He praised the cooperation of Hamas

Hamas security forces have cracked down on radical Islamist cells accused of attacking Christian symbols including a church and a cemetery.

Christian-Muslim relations in Gaza are historically far less turbulent than in Egypt, where Copts complain of persecution, or Iraq, where Christians have been targeted for attack.

Greek Orthodox Archbishop Alexios, who has served the Christian community in Gaza for 12 years, demanded that the Hamas administration help return the woman and her daughters to her home in order to calm tensions.

So where Hamas is stealing or pressuring or pressuring them?

Than what gave you right to speak on the behalf of Palestinians Christians and bring Pakistan in it? Last time it was Jewish leaders who killed Prophet Jesus ( AS) and now you are telling us that we should not defend the right liberties and blah blah?

You said we are not counting the number of Christians that are compelled to leave. Another on of your lie not back backed with a proper evidence. Instead of focusing more on eloquencey and verbiage, you should debate with sane head and proper data and evidence.

I would be embarrassed if a Jew makes me speechless with concise talk backed with proper evidence instead of cherrypicking and verbiage

Gaza: The Forced Conversions that Weren’t

Voluntary conversions and no coercion

Given the highly sensitive nature of these issues, it was very important that the matter be investigated independently.
The highly respected Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) said in a statement that it had pursued “the different declarations and allegations regarding this incident that may affect the Palestinian social fabric.”
It confirmed that:
"
On Wednesday, 11 July 2012, PCHR received a complaint from the family of Hiba Abu Dawood (31). Based on this complaint, Abu Dawood left with her 3 female children to an unknown location. She then sent a SMS to her husband telling him that she had converted to Islam.
On Sunday, 15 July 2012, PCHR received another similar complaint from the family of Ramez al-Amash. Al-Amashhad left a letter for his family in their house telling them that he converted to Islam and asking them to accept his decision."

PCHR detailed the investigations and mediation that it carried out:

"Over the few past days, PCHR held meetings with Abu Dawood and al-Amash and their families. On Thursday, 12 July 2012, PCHR met with Abu Dawood. It is clear that Abu Dawood converted to Islam under her own free will without any coercion.
PCHR also met with al-Amash on Sunday, 15 July 2012. PCHR organized another meeting on Monday, 16 July 2012, between al-Amash and his family.PCHR found out that al-Amashhad also converted to Islam under his own free will without any coercion.
According to information made available to PCHR, al-Amash went back to live with his family after they said that they will accept his decision. Today, 19 July 2012, PCHR organized a meeting between the 3 daughters of Abu Dawood and their father at PCHR’s head office."
