Leaders of the Christian Ecumenical Organization voted unanimously at their November board meeting in Dallas to denounce as anti-Christian several web sites and organizations, specifically naming Ikhras, the hate web site, as one of the most virulently anti-Christian sites on the Internet.
"Ikhras goes out of its way to target Christian Arabs who speak out on major issues involving the Arab and Palestinian community,"said the Rev. Joseph Hafeena Mubrook, chairman of the CEO.
"It's rhetoric relies on the old blood libels about Christians, the view that the only good Christian is a silent obedient Christian. Christian Arabs have rights and American Muslims should stand up and defend them, and not remain silent when these hate sites attack and defame Christian Arab activists."
The organization, representing more than 450 Arab Christian Churches in America, said that Ikhras and 15 other online web sites, should be protested by American Arabs and Muslims.
"It is time for American Muslims to speak out against the vicious rhetoric of Ikhras and other similarly anti-Christian web sites," Mubrook said during the board meeting.
