AWFUL: The Muslim Mayor Or Nazareth Has Cancelled Christmas..

If there is anyone who doesn’t seriously think that Christianity is not under attack throughout the world, all one needs to do is look to Nazareth.

The Muslim mayor of Jesus’ childhood home has apparently cancelled traditional outdoor songs and play celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

Mayor Ali Salam, who once made the curious boast that U.S. President Donald Trump “learned everything from me” about how to win elections, indicated that he was punishing local and visiting Christians as revenge for the President’s decision to officially recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

“Our message is we love Jerusalem, we’ll never abandon you under any circumstances,” Salam declared.

“Our identity and faith aren’t up for debate … The decision [by Donald Trump about Jerusalem] has taken away the joy of the holiday, and we will thus cancel the festivities this year.”

While Nazareth is located within Israel proper rather than Palestinian Authority territory in Gaza and the West Bank, a majority of its inhabitants are Arabs with Israeli citizenship.

At a little over 30 per cent of the population, Christians are a significant minority — but are dominated by the Muslim majority which voted Salam into power.

Nevertheless, the local administration has already walked back his aggressive position somewhat, conceding “there are commercial interests of the city and we are used to hundreds of thousands [of Christians] coming for this season.”

Some elements of the traditional celebrations will therefore go ahead, such as the Christmas market and a parade on December 23rd — but the singing performances and outdoor plays which usually mark the season will be prohibited.

According to the Bible, the city of Nazareth is where the archangel Gabriel told the Virgin Mary she would bear the Savior, making it one Christianity’s holiest sites.

After giving birth to Jesus in Bethlehem — now located in the Palestinian-controlled West Bank — Mary and the rest of the Holy Family are said to have fled to Egypt to escape from Herod the Great, who ordered all of the infant boys in Bethlehem killed after learning a new king had been born.

Remember, there are some people, elected officials that would want to be able to do this in our own nation.
