There is a little more to the story. The leader of that group just stepped down. The reason being that pictures surfaced of him sporting a Hitler mustache and hair cut. The subject of Nazi's is naturally still a very sensitive subject in the world and most particularly in Germany and the Catholic Church. So go easy there. Headlines do not always tell the whole story.

yeah...I was thinking back on various other commentators from the Catholic Church that spoke out against Islam - from either quoting former Pope’s to certain bishops...

(1) The Christian European West barely escaped destruction at the hands of the Moslems. At one point they were stopped near Tours and at another point, later on in time, outside the gates of Vienna. The Church throughout northern Africa was practically destroyed by Moslem power, and at the present hour, the Moslems are beginning to rise again.

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Mary and the Moslems, Chapter 17 of The World’s First Love, 1953

(2) The Regensburg lecture was delivered on 12 September 2006 by Pope Benedict XVI at the University of Regensburg in Germany - quoted an unfavorable remark about Islam made at the end of the 14th century by Manuel II Palaiologos, the Byzantine emperor. ( Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached)

that was my path of thought....I know, Germany is in a tight space right now...with national socialism abundant - and not wanting the swastika returning...
