I know its not exactly on topic, but this reminds me of Chirac's idiotic comments on how Europe's history and tradition is as much Islamic as Christian.

Benedict XVI pointed to nihilism and religious fanaticism as the two deep sources of Islamist terrorism.
If only the Democrats were so clear.

"In Islamic tradition, in fact, the concept of the equality of all human beings does not exist, nor does, in consequence, the concept of the dignity of every human life. Sharia is founded upon a threefold inequality: between man and woman, between Muslim and non-Muslim, and between freeman and slave." Pope Benedict XVI has it right, and he's not afraid to proclaim history as it really was. He says, in summation, that Islam was an evil, conquering cult from its inception, and that its theology is based on inequality and subjugation. In defending the Crusades as righteous and necessary, and in proclaiming the Chrisitian victory over the Islamic fleet at Lepanto as being good for the West, this Pope is now taking the lead in defending all Christians against Islamic aggression and facism.
Pope Benedict XVI commands no armies but the path of TRUTH always leads to victory. "Enough of this religion of peace lie, we have the right to defend ourselves from this evil religion", he seems to be saying. But is anybody listening to the Pope anymore?

Europe almost had a history and tradition that was Nazi German.
I see little difference between these political systems that preach supremacy and block off different classes of individual under the law.

Exactly! The right Pope at the right time.
Onward Christian solders.
To: Darkwolf377
The terms that would characterize many Democrats would be "nihilism" and "secular fanaticism"...... our Democrats perversely prefer alliance with the jihadists over cooperation with conservative Christians, under the Howard Dean/Ted Kennedy precept that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

The only ones that would prefer Islam over Christianity are the "Muzzies" and the ACLU.

"Pope Benedict XVI commands no armies"
Ah, but recall Stalin's quote and how he was proved wrong!
He necessarily needs not command any "organized" army, but he does have Christ and His followers behind him.

"A fool has said unto himself, there is no GOD."
The ultimate defeat of the execrable mad Mo's, murdering, black rock worshiping, moon "god", death cult, IS assured in the end.
The enemy holds this earth for a time granted to him by the Lord GOD, that time is finite.
See how the entire world is arrayed against Israel, yet they are powerless against the One True GOD's covenant.
Powerless.
"Trust the LORD, and pass the ammunition."

"We must also recognize the natural right of every society to defend its own cultural, religious, and political identity. It seems to me that this is precisely what Pius V did."
He did that by ordering the Jews to be expelled from every papal state except Ancona and Rome (and those two exceptions only for commercial reasons and under humiliating conditions) in 1569. He exposed his attitude against Jews in "Hebraeorum Gens."

In all due respect...9/11 was the beginning of what we need to know of this enemy. Saying 9/11 was all we need to know is like saying that all we need to know about Great White Sharks is that they have sharp teeth.
We need to know everything about islam...we need to know its weaknesses, we need to know how to kill it.
How to kill it! That's what we need to know.

"He necessarily needs not command any "organized" army, but he does have Christ and His followers behind him." I recall reading about that quote. I believe it was "how many divisions does the Pope have"? But you are right, the Pope has legions of Christian believers behind him, and most importantly, he has "the Way,the Truth and the Life" standing beside him.
