Finally something I can agree with the Vatican on.

And it took guts to say it.

[ladtx]

The Vatican warned Catholic women on Friday to think hard before marrying a Muslim and urged Muslims to show more respect for human rights, gender equality and democracy.

Uh-ho. The libs aren't going to like this, no sir-ee. How dare someone urge judgement against another religion.

[Sacajaweau]

Same church, same statement except it referred to Jews when I was in Catholic High School.

Muslim women are half heads, per ISLAM !

I saw a movie about this based on a true story. Sally field played an American wife married to an Iranian doctor and it told of her fight to get her and her daughter out of Iran. Good movie....I think all American women should watch this movie or at least talk to women who managed to escape out Arab countries!

If so called Christians would ever read (and actually believe) the Bible they wouldn't need a a special warning for this

How about this warning:
2Cr 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

"The libs aren't going to like this,..."

Yea and your point is? ;-} I love nothing more than ticking the libs off anyway!!!

[KQQL]

READ, what's that?

[Paul_B]

Pretty much feel the same way on both counts.

I saw this movie too, not on TV of course because it will NOT be played after 9-11.

It puts muslim men in a very bad and accurate light and I agree everyone should see it.

this is a welcome follow up to the memo on wetting your finger and jamming it into a light socket.

I am glad the Vatican is finally adopting some safety regulations we can all follow.

My husband is not a Christian, and I am. However he is a conservative, Republican US citizen.

He respects me. He lets me take the kids to church. He goes with us occasionally. He treats me like an equal in our family.

This is a far cry from being married to a Muslim.

[Arpege92]

Yep....that's the movie.

[B Knotts]

What say you to this?

I understand ... people don't bother to waste their time on the Bible ... instead they'll be experts on sports trivia, Hollywood movies and the latest trendy fashion.

These so called Christians get down right hostile when you give them a chapter and verse but claim to be part of the "chruch". Most of these so called "Christians" are don't have a clue on what they should believe or when something is false they readily believe that too because they are too spiritually lazy to verify it in the Bible.

[Arpege92]

Is your husband Arab?

Uh-ho. The libs aren't going to like this, no sir-ee. How dare someone urge judgement against another religion.

In the eyes of left wing liberal socialists and communists, it's ok to do this to Christianity, just not to Islam. They are pretty screwed up aren't they?

[veronica]

Oh my. How politically incorrect. :)
