The Canticle of Mary, Luke 1:48 etc. really does tell all, “All Generations Will Call Me Blessed”, yes, so all religions that purport to be Christian should but they simply don’t unless once caught out on this issue, grudgingly acknowledge it.

Just because Christians don't bow to a statue of an image of Mary, light a candle or recite prayers does not mean we don't call her blessed.

But your words are very familiar as in similar comments were made by Fr Ladis J. Cizik of EWTN:

In the Koran, the holy name of the Blessed Virgin Mary is mentioned no less than thirty times. No other woman's name is even mentioned, not even that of Mohammed's daughter, Fatima. Among men, only Abraham, Moses, and Noah are mentioned more times than Our Lady. In the Koran, Our Blessed Mother is described as "Virgin, ever Virgin." The Islamic belief in the virginity of Mary puts to shame the heretical beliefs of those who call themselves Christian, while denying the perpetual virginity of Mary. Make no mistake about it, there is a very special relationship between the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Moslems! (http://www.ewtn.com/library/mary/olislam.htm)

Seems if you want a religion to cozy up to which will share your extra-scriptural practices you may want to mosey on down to the local mosque instead of trying to 'convert' the sweaty Prot pastor in polyester who keeps preaching the Gospel. You know...the Gospel...That IS in the Scriptures. Check it out.

So I guess you should purchase a Qur'an and investigate your adorations. The Muslims approve!
