[C]ompeting theisms are back with a vengeance, strutting the world stage in a fashion not witnessed since, yet powerfully linked to, the First Crusade, launched by Pope Urban ii on Nov. 27, 1095. Um, I think there have been some theisms that competed pretty vigorously in the centuries since the First Crusade. For one, the subjugation of Hinduism by the Muslim Moghul Empire. For another, the wars of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation in Europe.

Itâs about time we sat up and truly listened to the rhetoric of Rome. Increasingly, it carries an unrelenting political edge. Itâs an edge that history has witnessed before, the edge of the crusading sword, most recently seen in the Balkan wars, and honing itself right now for a future whirlwind reaction to the major thorn in its side, pan-Islamism.What a frickn' loon!
This clown sounds like somebody so enamored of his own rhetorical talents he thinks he can convince his reader the e-vil police officer is just spoiling for the opportunity to draw and fire on the innocent mugger.

Scratching my head about the verse cited in the article...
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. - James 1:27
