The horror. The terror. The unspeakable savagery of jihad.
Perhaps few things are as disgusting and cowardly as the Muslim rape of nuns: defenseless Christian women who sacrifice much of their lives to help sick and needy Muslims.
At a time when Christianity worldwide is under siege by Islamic jihadists, the Pope claimed that the quran teaches non-violence. As Christians across the Muslim world live in abject terror and fear kidnapping, rape and slaughter to the bloodcurdling cries of “Allahu akbar,” the pope gives papal sanction to the savage.
253. In order to sustain dialogue with Islam, suitable training is essential for all involved, not only so that they can be solidly and joyfully grounded in their own identity, but so that they can also acknowledge the values of others, appreciate the concerns underlying their demands and shed light on shared beliefs. We Christians should embrace with affection and respect Muslim immigrants to our countries in the same way that we hope and ask to be received and respected in countries of Islamic tradition. I ask and I humbly entreat those countries to grant Christians freedom to worship and to practice their faith, in lightof the freedom which followers of Islam enjoy in Western countries! Faced with disconcerting episodes of violent fundamentalism, our respect for true followers of Islam should lead us to avoid hateful generalisations, for authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.
AS USUAL, THE SAGE, ONCE AGAIN, IS RIGHT ON TARGET. I HAVE A LIBERTARIAN FRIEND WHO BELIEVES IN ISOLATIONISM. HE'S ALWAYS TELLING ME THAT WE OUGHT TO LEAVE THEM ALONE & LET THEM KILL EACH OTHER. I'VE TRIED MANY TIMES TO PERSUADE HIM OTHERWISE, BUT HE ALWAYS BRINGS UP VIETNAM (WHICH HE BLAMES ON NIXON, BY THE WAY). I TELL HIM THAT WE ARE ALREADY IN WW3, BUT HE WON'T BELIEVE IT.
