If the vatican had ever taken a hardline stance against islam it may have a leg to stand on. As it is, it never has and it doesn't.
Read a history book before you embarrass yourself. The Vatican "never has" "taken a hardline stance against islam"???? Give me a break. Ever hear of the crusades, or the battle of Lepanto? Maybe the reason they don't want Lebanon blown to smithereens is because of the CATHOLICS who live there in large numbers. But you apparently think that only Muslims live in the middle east.
Well, there was a time... around 1100 AD.
