I’m not Catholic, so not familiar with the Bishop.

Does he also “admire” the Taliban like the Bishop allegedly said?

"Does he also “admire” the Taliban like the Bishop allegedly said?"

Absolutely not. He makes it clear he's talking about the average Muslim, and frankly, I think he's right. Muslims do tend to be more faithful, on average, than Westerners do. We've put out big screen TV's, McMansions, and sexual appetites first before God in too many cases. Most Muslims would never try to "re-interpret" the Koran. Western Churches do it all the time. The LA Episcopal diocese just appointed a Lesbian bishop just to get a rise out of Westminster. You simply don't see Mosques doing garbage like that. Again, this is not to defend Islamic aggression against the West... just a recognition that more often than not, most of them believe in their faith more than we do ours. You'll find no Muslim scholars arguing that the Koran was a scam and that Mohammad never existed. In most US universities... including ones that were created to train ministry, like Harvard, Princeton, and Wake Forest... these deniers of Christ are pretty prominent, and in the Divinity faculty.
