Wait, wasn't Christ born in Bethlehem, a city in Israel? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Israel a predominantly Jewish nation, not an Islamic one? If we're going to be talking about Christians being pushed out of Israel, wouldn't it be important to account for the fact that Israel's government (which doesn't have separation of church and state, by the way) consists entirely of Jewish leaders?

So in the end, it's really not much of a probation after all.
