my simple test:
Check the fruits and you will know the tree.
Matthew 7, Luke 6
In the Biblical faith traditions, murderers are almost always condemned and punished. Whereas in the Islamic world, murderers (so long, at least, as they kill Christians, Jews, or other non-Moslems) are so often celebrated, rewarded, and honored.
That’s enough info for me to know that Islam is not compatible with the Church, or with civilized society.
It must be fought, and fought hard, not dialogued with.
But I do pray for all the best with the good Father’s dialoguing efforts, may he be successful in promoting a genuine “reformation” (no pun intended) or “transformation” (gawd! that’s even a worse word choice...!)... change for the better.... in whatever Moslems he meets.
I meant, may whomever may speak with Moslem representatives have success in turning them away from their evil ways. (I just don’t see much chance of success, is all.... )
