These stupid western liberals will be the death of the rest of us.

Far more dangerous than terrorists who would attack us with bombs and bullets, these traitors are killing us with multiculturalism and “tolerance.”

Tony is trying for the fastest "conversion-to-excommunication" run in history.

Just pathetic.

the Pope to rethink his “entrenched” attitude on gays

So he should advocate open public execution of gays based on his beloved Koran?

No kidding. Rhetorical question - why do we NEVER hear of these “enlightened” leaders asking Muslim leaders to rethink their position. Hmmmmmm.
