I perfectly understand your feelings. They derive from our western view. Our parish has several families that have immigrated from Lebanon and Jordan. Their description of peaceful co-existence with muslims in the Middle East is something we have never experienced. Our understanding, derived from 9/11 and video tapes of beheadings, is what has been projected via the msm. While christians and muslims, in general, do not share the same faith, in the Middle East, for the most part, they co-exist peacefully. It is wrong to condemn all muslims for the actions of a small minority. That, essentially, was the bishop's message.
