Go ahead and try to figure out a way to blame Israel for this, but it’s actually straight from the Qur’an: “Fight against those do not believe in Allah or the last day, and do not forbid what Allah and his messenger have forbidden, and do not follow the religion of truth, even if they are among the people of the book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.”
“Small Remnant of Gaza Christians Warns of Life Under Islam: Accept 2nd Class Status ‘Or You Die,'” by
Chris Mitchell, CBN News, November 5, 2026:
JERUSALEM, Israel – Today, we get a rare inside look at what Christians have faced under Hamas rule in Gaza. One Christian who escaped the region tells CBN News that intimidation and religious pressure have reduced Gaza’s Christian community to just a few hundred people.
Naji grew up as a Christian in Gaza. He says Hamas changed life dramatically after seizing control of the Gaza Strip in 2007.
He told us, “They completely restructured how everyday Gazans thought. They pushed a whole new set of ideas through mosques, teachings, periodic sermons, and structured religious circles.”
This system also affected the way Gazans looked at Christians.
“Through these religious channels, people were taught to view non-Muslims through an Islamic lens, categorizing them as dhimmi. According to the Koran, they consider them ‘People of the Book’, infidels, destined to go to hell,” Naji explained.
“There have been cases when Christians were abducted. In one such case, a man fled to Cyprus after they forced him to convert to Islam on live TV. He didn’t want to be a Muslim, but he was under intense pressure,” Naji recalled.
He observed that Christians became increasingly seen not as fellow Palestinians, but as outsiders.
“They didn’t know what a Christian was,” he said. “All they heard about us was that we are related to the Crusaders, or that we ‘worship the cross.’ They didn’t grasp that we were Gazans just like them or fellow citizens of Gaza City. But no, for them, we’re merely guests.”
Recent reports indicate that years of war and extremism have led to a steep decline in Gaza’s Christian population, from several thousand to between three and four hundred.
Another Christian, Ahad, told CBN News, “You are different, you are strange, you are weird, and they were subjected to bullying at school. Sometimes during their church services, people would stone the church,” he claimed. “It’s a very common practice for us as Christians living in the Middle East, whether we are in Syria and Lebanon, in Egypt, in Sudan. We have always suffered from these practices.”
Ahad grew up in Syria. He says the problem began long before October 7th, 2023, the day of the Hamas massacre and kidnappings.
We asked, “Would a Christian become what they call a dhimmi or like a second-class citizen?”
Ahad replied, “This is what they want us to be. You’re either a dhimmi, a second-class citizen that you accept being, that the Muslim is superior to you, or you cannot live. They tell us, they tell us in our faces.”…

And this reality is what some of us have been able to grasp without the personal accounts. Those who want to believe that muzzies in Gaza are all victims of Israel, will not accept that they have been persecuting Christians.

Confirming again that Islam is an enemy of many good things and one of them is equality under the law. Sharia mandates a Jim Crow system based not on race but on belief and those who do not believe in all the nonsense and crap which Islam puts forward are designated by Mo’s warped creed to be pure second-class citizens, if even this, for the duration.
Oriana Fallaci, that intrepid journalist who died twenty years ago, when asked about Islam, replied, “I hate Islam.” Anyone who prizes such things as freedom, women’s rights, graciousness, the capacity to apologize for past wrongdoings and, yes, equality under the law, all of which Fallaci did, not only SHOULD hate Islam, they MUST hate Islam lest those wonderful things disappear since Islam, given the chance—and it’s being given that now— would usher in for humanity, and particularly for the West, the darkest of all dark ages in the entire history of mankind.
