Islamic hostility for Christmas was on full display as documented here: on Christmas Day, Muslims in Bethlehem set a Christmas tree on fire and greeted the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem with a hail of stones; Muslim “refugees” set fire to a public Christmas tree in Belgium; Muslim jihadis attacked churches during Christmas mass killing at least 16 in Nigeria; Muslim jihadis in the Philippines slaughtered 10 Christians on Christmas Eve to “make a statement”; three Muslim countries—Somalia, Tajikistan, and Brunei—formally banned any Christmas celebrations; due to assassination attempts on pastors and death threats to Christians, churches skipped Christmas mass in Bangladesh and were on “high alert” in Indonesia, with 150,000 security personnel patrolling; in Iran, Christians celebrating Christmas in homes were arrested.
Christmas related violence aside, sword waving Muslims chased down Christians and in two cases butchered them. In the United States, a Muslim man pulled out a sword and chased his neighbor, a Christian of Mideast descent, while saying he would “Die and kill for Allah.” The incident took place in San Bernardino, California. The victim escaped and called San Bernardino police who subsequently arrested Mohamed Ahmed Elrawi, 57, of Victorville, on suspicion of attempted murder. Police also found evidence at his apartment suggesting he is a “radicalized Muslim.”
