The body of a Christian official who was kidnapped over the weekend was discovered in Gaza City early Sunday, Palestinian sources said. The man was identified as Rami Ayyad, 31, director of The Teacher’s Bookshop, which is operated by the Palestinian Bible Society. Although no group claimed responsibility for the murder, a number of Christians in Gaza City told The Jerusalem Post that Ayyad had received several death threats in the past from radical Muslims who accused him of conducting missionary activities. His bookshop and the Palestinian Bible Society had been the target of repeated attacks over the past two years.

I do believe I have purchased my copy of Koran in some British bookshop. I distinctly don’t remember any special protective measures undertaken by the bookseller in case some radical Jew or Christian decides to bomb the shop or to dispose of a seller or two.

Have to check with some Brits or Yanks on this one.

Oh, and it will be educational to hear the response from the Church of England’s chief…

    I got my copy for free, from CAIR. That is like getting a Gideon Bible from a hotel room, except they shipped it to me for free.

    Keep us posted, Meryl, on the vociferous protests sure to be offered by the Episcopalians and Presbyterians.

    Yes.

    The only question is how many muslims will now be killed in violent mobs in America and England in revenge for this act…..

    Long_Rifle, get real! The Anglicans and Methodists only go on a rampage when the Muslims draw cartoons depicting “the Prophet” — Tammy Faye Bakker.

    My mistake.

    I guess I’ll have to put my torches out now. But I’m going to hold onto my pitchfork for a bit longer….
