I'm not Catholic (but have many wonderful Catholics in my extended family)...yet I am so happy with this Pope. Great guy, great world leader!
At this very moment in East Timor the muslims are burning Dili, the christians are being attacked by roving gangs with handguns and machette...some 200,000 Dili residents are hiding in the hills or seeking refuge in churches and at the airport. Australian troops are trying to disarm the 'gangs from the West' but are overwhelmed by the need to protect the christian civilian population...and the useless UN - who are pulling out.
The 'West Timor gangs' have not been named as muslims in any news reports I have seen. Neither has it been mentioned that the East Timor Prime Minister is a muslim. How many deaths, how many atrocities will we witness before someone dares to point out that islam is once more killing christians in Timor?
Two days ago, a mother and her four children were burned alive.
These atrocities are not being committed by 'disgruntled soldiers' as we are expected to believe. The killing, looting and burning of Christian East Timor is organised; it's islam doing what islam has been doing for 1400 years.
