This is definitely sending a message to Islam.

Although many others do not acknowledge the pope as their religious head, to Islam he represents Western Christianity.

It is a very strong visual.

......and their common concern for the situation in Iraq and particularly the precarious state of Christian communities there and elsewhere in the region.

I'm glad this issue was discussed.

I'm certain that our president never imagined that one of the consequences of the invasion of Iraq would be the current suffering and upheaval among Christians in that country.

Anyone know what Neil Cavuto was referring to on his show today. He said that the Pope would be addressing our ‘immigration’ issue and that the Minutemen are outraged after learning something about the church supporting/funding something in Mexico regarding our illegal aliens?
