Bishop: Occupation a factor in persecution
A leading U.S. Catholic bishop said Israel’s occupation is a factor in the persecution of Christians in Muslim lands.
“The failure to secure a just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with its resulting occupation of Palestinian lands, sometimes spills over into prejudices and distrusts of indigenous Christians in Muslim nations,” said Bishop Thomas Wenski of Miami.
Testifying last week in Congress, Wenski, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ committee on international policy, also cited globalization, the Iraq war and perceptions of anti-Muslim sentiment in the West as factors in the persecution of Christians.

I wonder if the good bishop is worried about leftist incitement of the Arab/Muslim world: overblown claims about Abu Ghraib, the Koran down the toilet story in Newsweek, George Galloway's "beautiful daughers" speech, endless harping on the idea that Palestinians are victims, etc, etc
