Cardinal Reinhard Marx, the head of the German Bishops’ Conference, has called on Christians to seek contact to Muslims and non-believers in view of what he described as an era of “verbal, political and military rearmament.”
In comments to be delivered at a religious procession in Munich on the Christian holy day of Good Friday, Marx said Christian believers should say “no” when hate and violence were preached and condemn attacks on churches, synagogues or mosques.
He urged those of the Christian faith to go the path of non-violence and love when encountering people of other religions or those who professed no faith.
“For we know from our own experience as Christians in Europe and the world: Without friendship, without encounters, without openness for others, there is no understanding, no reconciliation, no community, but instead the creation of mistrust, fear and violence,” he said. …

Engagement along the lines of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Evil cannot be negotiated with, only eliminated.
I’ll engage them all right...on the battlefield. There is no coexistence with those who have been at war with the rest of the world for the past 1400 years.
Perfect name for a left wing dolt. What is this guy smoking to even suggest that it’s up to Christians to “engage” mudslimes? When he asks mudslimes to apologize for their rape spree across Germany, then I’ll listen.
Engage them on a one way ship home to krapistan.
You are correct sir. The only way to engage them, is with superior fire power. 🔥
Verbal engagement is far better than Merkel’s demand for capitulation.
To quote another well known Marx, “That’s the most ridiculous thing I ever heard!”
Hugging savages gives savages an opportunity to stab you in the back.
Teach by example!! you go walk down that street and shake hands and engage!! well sit back eating popcorn and watch how well that works for ya!!
It sounds as though Marx might want to lay off the German brewskis for a while.
They hate the West.
Why are they here ?
Was invited to ENGAGE Muslims in an ecumenical setting in Austin, Texas. It got off a bad start. They wouldn’t even shake hands with our women.......
Why not ask those vets coming home from the middle east wars if they would like to “engage” Muzzies again. I think you already know the answer. When American’s wake up they will find that Muzzies are NOT your friends.
“Verbal engagement is far better......”..
The “verbal” I would use is not allowed here but you can imagine what I would be yelling as I unload my weapons on them. Muslimes are NOT our friends and never will be.
I'm surprised it isn't a hate crime for Christians to proselytize to Muslims. I'm sure it will be soon.
What common point of reference do we have with a cult that calls a pedophile it's prophet? Perhaps this is crystal clear to the cardinal - would he care to share why?
If only we did not have to punish children to instill discipline , make jews wander in the desert to rid them of Pharoh in their midst or had Christ crucified to face our sinfulness and this atone for sins, then we could be friends with muslims who reject all these things that are “mean”....
Too much engagement already. They hate us. Keep them in their countries, and us in ours.
