“Indeed. Who, after all, fears the wrath of Christians?”
Isn’t THAT the truth!!!!
Benneton has been radical leftist and VERY anti-Catholic since its beginning. And sadly MANY people, because they do NOT know history, fail to understand that one of the most important reasons why this country of the USA grew the way it did, with an unprecedented atmosphere of FREEDOM, was precisely because of the CHRISTIAN belief that freedom comes from God. It is a God-given right....not a right that is given by the state.
It is indeed the truth, I’m sorry to say. Christian kindness and respect for people of other faiths have largely been repaid with insults and abuse, such as forcing American Christians to pay taxes to provide NEA sponsorship for Andres Serrano’s blasphemous “Piss Christ.”
I’ve never liked Benetton, either. Even as a schoolboy in the 80s, I noticed their promotion of fey fashions for guys, and I found it repulsive. I reject the violence and domineering attitude of Islam, but we need to uphold basic moral standards that are good for people of all faiths.
As much as I hate to say it, I think Christians need to become a bit more militant and insistant. Muslims have gotten respect not through love, but fear.
