Many Palestinian Christians identify with the struggle against Israel to such an extent that they find themselves on the side of Islamic fundamentalism. In some cases, Palestinian Christians have actually joined Islamic terror groups. Christian 'Martyr' for IslamMark Alexander

There has not been one single Christian suicide bomber.
EVER.
Israel Today is blowing this out of proportion.
And, here is a question to ponder for future reference;
What is a "Christian"?
The reason I pose the question is because one of the next Information War fronts may be trying to give the world the impression that Christians are joining Muslims in the fight against the Jews.
I have serious questions about the line of demarcation between ME Christians, and Muslims.
What do you think?

How can you be so sure about this?
What is a "Christian"?
It might take a more informed theologian to answer this question, but to me, a Christian is someone who accepts Jesus as the Christ and Saviour, and who accepts that He was crucified to save or souls.
What do you think, then?
My guess is that it's all a bit more confusing than it appears at first glance. I have read elsewhere (but don't take this as gospel and please don't ask where, lol, as it was some months ago and I can't remember where I read it)that some of the few Palestinian Christians that remain can be quite anti-Semitic. Don't know how true it is.
Plus, there are some people with very strange ideas that describe themselves as Christian. Had a big argument with someone last year who described himself as a Christian, yet he denied the resurrection, refused to accept that Jesus had claimed divinity, he denied the historicity of the New Testament documents, and believed fervently in pantheism. Yet he still insisted that he be called a Christian.
As an aside, the 'discussion' with him ended when he began throwing the most appalling insults (I'll leave those to your imagination) at me, my father, and anyone else who'd ever receieved a university education, so I guess there were other issues there as well.

How interesting!

Oh, that's indubitably true.
I have read elsewhere ... that some of the few Palestinian Christians that remain can be quite anti-Semitic.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

Oh, sure. We've got a few sects here in the West. We need look no further!
That chap you had an argument with sounds as if he had all sorts of "issues".
By the way, I tried to show you last night how to put a link up, but each time I tried, it came out as a link - one that wouldn't work properly - and so you wouldn't have been able to see the HTML.
Let me try again. But be aware that I am going to have to add a space between each character so that it doesn't show a link:
< a h r e f + " ...THE ADDRESS ... " > NAME OF LINK (OR GIVE IT ONE OF YOUR OWN) < / a >
NB: there should be a space between the 'a' and the 'href'.
Hope this helps. It's the best I can do.
I have heard it said by people whom I respect and trust that there has never been a Christian suicide bomber. I have never heard the idea refuted, even though there are many people who would love to prove such a thing.
Think about it, if Christians blew themselves up, as well as Muslims, that would give more support to the idea that suicide bombing and terrorism are a response to legitimate grievances.
Many people would love to have more proof for that stupid hypothesis, and yet, you will NEVER find anyone claiming a Christian suicide bomber.
Let me assert my opinion again; I believe the next front in the information war will be to try to prove that Christians are joining up with Muslims in the fight against the Jews.
Don't believe it.
Your definition of what a Christian is is more accurate and trustworthy than what the MSM would define as a Christian.

Thank you! I guess it isn't PC enough for the MSM.
