"Its "materialism, egoism and wildness" has altered Christianity, he claimed."

"Materialism, egoism and "wildness" are characteristics of humans, and have nothing to do with Christianity.

Europe stopped being associated with Christianity a long time ago. That remark is typical Islamofascist propaganda spewed all the time in this religous war we're in.

re :"Materialism, egoism and "wildness"

Could be used to describe all the Muslim male youth we see on TV in the West and Middle east, Heavy gold chains, latest fashion, and fast cars.

LOL even Islam hasn't got a chance against Materialism, egoism and wildness

True...in the absolute sense.

However, much of Christendom has become very liberalized (some would say "wild") with a watered down version of Christianity such that the life of Christ has no meaning except as a nice Philosopher. Christianity and Water, as C.S. Lewis used to call it, didn't even exist in an organized form until the 20th century.

I think that is what he is referring to....and he is right.....and our society has been weakened by it.

Yes, his statements are part of a propaganda campaign. No doubt about that.
