It seems that Jihadists cannot even allow Christians to enjoy Christmas in Peace. All around the globe we have witnessed Jihadist attacks on Christmas sites. In the “Newly Liberated” Syria, masked Jihadists burned down a Christmas tree that was set up to celebrate the holiday, leading Syrian Christians to come out in protest. This senseless act of violence is casting heavy doubts that peace, equality, & tolerance is going to come to Syria after Assad’s fall from power. Sadly, it did not stop there. In a recent video that much of the media seems reluctant to release, Palestinian mobs in the city of Bethlehem were shown throwing rocks and firing bullets at a church as the church members were doing Christmas rehearsals. The Christian population of Bethlehem was over 85% in the early 20th century. Now, it’s down to less than 20% and if the Islamic persecution doesn’t stop, Bethlehem may one day become a Christian City with no Christians.
Tragically, even Western Nations are not immune to this. In Magdeburg Germany, a 50-year-old Saudi doctor by the name of Taleb al-Absdulmohsen conducted a car ramming attack on a Christmas Market on Dec. 20th, 2024. The attack killed five people and injured hundreds more. Though the media reported that Taleb al-Absdulmohsen was an “anti-Islam” activist who had spoken against the Islamic faith for years, others now suspect that this was simply a ruse that he put up to infiltrate Germany and obtain asylum with a number of Ex-Muslim organizations within Germany coming forward and revealing that they had been threatened by Taleb on a number of occasions. This is not a far-fetched theory as two weeks earlier a 37-year-old asylum seeker from Iraq was arrested for plotting a similar attack against a Christian Market in the German city of Augsburg. Christmas Markets in Europe are known to be focus points for Jihadist attacks as a 2016 attack on such a market in Berlin killed 12 people.
Jihadists hate Christmas, because Jihadists hate Infidels, and for them, public displays of an Infidel holiday is an abomination, but tragically it’s also proving to be a prime target for them to carry out their murderous campaigns. Jihadists known that certain times of the year will draw large numbers of their targets together in confined locations, the 2019 ISIS attack in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday being a prime example. The ISIS Jihadists who attacked the churches in Sri Lanka knew that they would be exceptionally crowded during the Easter Mass & would therefore succeed in killing a greater number of Christians. The vehicular Jihadists targeting the European Christmas Markets are doing so for the exact same reason.
