BETHLEHEM, April 01, 2003 (Online): The Church of Nativity, widely believed to be the birth-place of Jesus Christ, decided to ban entry each of the US President George Bush, his Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his Foreign Secretary Jack Straw the privilege of visiting this sacred place, which is one of the holiest Christian shrines.

The move came in protest of "the aggressive war these leaders have waged against Iraq," top Clergy of the church said.

Do you agree that the Church was right?

This is not propaganda. It's an article up for discussion, and not bullying, namecalling and insults. But when fascist print propaganda, nobody is supposed to say anything about it.

Why would anyone care about what holy men wear on their heads. That's nutty.

Answer 1

I know for one thing the previous Pope (John Paul II) was against the War in Iraq, so I assume the Vatican is as well, and I would think the current Pope (Benedict XVI) would be as well. Which leads me to think since the church of the Nativity is a Catholic Church it would go along with the Vatican. I don't really intend to make it political, but sometimes I have to. It seemed like the war was not considered the last option. Life is very important to the Catholic Faith so any time in it is in stake it is never easy to decide. Now that it seems that there might be a change in direction, their could be a chance to correct the mistakes, clean up the mess that both sides made, and find a way to find a long lasting peace if it is still possible.

Answer 2

They have been banned because they are scumbags in every sense of the word. George Bush President of the United States is a man without honor. He has spread shame on America, it's Constitution, and it's People. It is a highly embarrassing situation for every Good American. This Man has spun completely out of control and he needs to be stopped immediately. President Bush has reduced and discounted himself to nothing more then a mere "pedofile" and "War Criminal." Bring Bush to justice now and May God Bless America!

Answer 3

No - I don't agree. The Church of the Nativity is in an area controlled by Hamas.
That is why they would not allow the President to go there.
And that was almost 3 years ago. Don't you have anything more current to talk about?

Answer 4

And people say Bush lies! Can we say Terrorist propaganda machine!

The sad thing is there are people who are ignorant enought to believe it. Those that will believe anything they read. And yet you find it worth your time to spread such lies which only weakens your political position.

You do not understand what rally's American spirit and that will be the downfall of Terrorism.

Answer 5

If it beneficial properties freedom from the Zionists, you have some difficulty going to Palestine. additionally, it won't be mentioned as Palestine. Surrounding Arab worldwide places would replace it.

Answer 6

Being that churches are a source of sanctuary for everybody, I don't believe that story.

Also, since Bush is not a Greek Orthodox, I'm not sure what the point would be.

Answer 7

Respect the church. But turn the other cheek isn't always to go. Would you like your kids to be wearing turbins.

Answer 8

Seriously if you want to make a case you need a unbiased outlet that rag isn't worth my time.

Answer 9

The joke is that those hypocrites would never even want to go there...

Answer 10

If the Church owns that land, they can ban whoever they wish from coming there. They can come up with whatever justifications they want, it doesn't really matter.
