Christians fear ISIS influence is expanding. Mob violence against Christians, anti-Christian billboards and graffiti, and jihadist rhetoric have Christians concerned: “Feeling afraid. Feeling cornered. Feeling, ‘Maybe this is not my place. Maybe I just need to get out of here. I don’t want to deal with them. I don’t trust them anymore.’”
Just as in Egypt, imams in Jerusalem and elsewhere in Israel and the Palestinian territories are whipping up the Muslim faithful with sermons like this:
“When you face a polytheist enemy [i.e. a Christian who worships the Holy Trinity], you should give him three options – they must convert to Islam, or pay the jizya [tax on non-Muslims], or else you should seek the help of Allah and fight them. You should fight them even if they do not fight you.” (Sheikh Issam Ameera, imam at Al-Aqsa mosque, Jerusalem)
