Why not just drive down to Ground Zero, that’s lesson enough.

I read about a Dutch bishop urging Catholics to call God allah. We’re not far from that situation here. Muslims hi-5ing each other again for the umpteenth time. I never thought the west was that easy to conquer.

I would imagine that hoards of Muslims couldn’t wait to attend Church and learn about Jesus Christ in the spirit of fairness........NOT

I thought we Catholics were discouraged from this kind of thing? Am I wrong?

Can’t wait for the members of the Religion of Peace to go to a Catholic church, bless themselves with Holy Water, genuflect before the altar of God, and then sit in a pew. I don’t think that will ever happen. They’d sooner cut the head off the hapless stooge that followed them to the mosque to get some diversity training. Hogwash on the whole idea!

do these loons not know the life of Saint Francis? Saint Francis wore the Crusader’s cross. Francis went to the Holy Land to convert the muslims or die trying. Do these people not know of Saint Clare and the Saracens?

I lived in Saudi Arabia for five years.
I started attending Mass daily OVER THERE. Lol.
Whooda thunk I would have gotten the "spirit" over there? In fact, my Muslim boss paved the way.

Everything we need to know about islam can be learned from any one of their many beheading videos.

We have obviously lost our collective mind.

Peace on their terms is the only peace we will get from these people.

EVERYTHING I suspected about Islam — was confirmed on Sept. 11

It confirmed what I had read about the history of Islam and the rest of the world....

Also - the reaction and comments from Islamic spokespersons since that date - and continued subsequent outrages committed by militant Islamists almost daily, further validates my understanding.

Islam is a cult, containing uncounted members desiring our subjugation and the destruction of life as we know it..

It will be a case of we destroy them, or they destroy us..
It’s really as simple as that...
To attempt to make it more complex, is an exercise in self deception...

Imam Khan expressed interest in making a reciprocal visit to Graymoor. "Quran tells us that how you deal with your neighbors is very important," he said.

Uh oh...

I have begun to understand the importance that we Catholics return to calling it not Islam but Mohammedanism.

Women are not required to interrupt their routines to go to the mosque for Friday prayer.

LOL! What a tactful way of saying that women are not welcome at "Friday prayer."

The Graymoor Franciscans, like most Franciscans, have mush for brains. They were originally Anglicans and then became Catholics at some point. They run a recovery center for alcholics, and do much valuable work that way.

But when you remember that St. Francis set off to preach to and convert the Muslims (with little success, but they were so stunned by his audacity that they let him go), and then look at modern day Franciscans, many of whom dabble in syncretism, you just want to scream. I do, at least.

Wow, what a total waste of time. I saw the word “diversity” mentioned in the article and that about summed it up for me. Wacky Catholics on a diversity feel good trip.

New York Catholics visit mosque, learn about Islam

If someone had told me that some New York Catholics went on
an incommunicado space trip since 9-10-2001, I wouldn't believe them.

BUT, I might say "I guess they got back to Earth safely and have
recently been frequenting mosques."

In 1998-2000 I had a Muslim co-worker who I told frequently I'd like to go to mosque with, but he always came up with one excuse or another. That always struck me as a little strange...until 9/11.

Now let me guess what the talk was in there.
