This was posted earlier by NYer in the "religious" category. I hope you will see fit to leave this post in the "news/activism"...this is real news.
Thx in advance for your consideration of this matter.
In this war, this is a major advance, IMHO.

I just picked up a copy of
Christianity and the Crisis of Cultures, by Joseph Ratzinger / Pope Benedict XVI.
It promises to be a good read...

While Islamic nations openly discriminate against Christians and other non-Muslims, Muslims in the U.S. (aided by CAIR and the ACLU) are the first to yell discrimination.
In Kentucky, a Muslim girl, aided by CAIR and the ACLU, was successful in having a court issue an injunction against a high school graduation prayer.

A good first step. The eyes are opening a tiny bit, but we must face the question of what to do when dialog fails and there is no reciprocity.

"
The cardinal furthermore distinguished between a "twisted religion" that is used to justify hatred and violence, and true religion. True religion, he explained, points us to healing, honor and purity."Methinksthe cardinal is a bit naive about this.
"Religion," per se, has absolutely nothing to do with "healing, honor and purity."
"Re" = again, "ligo" = to bind. Ie, "to bind again."
We, in the West, have been conditioned under the consesus of Christianity, that anything "religious" is automatically good and useful towards polite and civil society.
Islam qualifies as "religion," but neither polite nor civil.

...just as it is essential that Christians can freely worship in Riyadh or Kabul." Chicken. They should be able to worship freely in Mecca.

Napoleon once said that "God favors the side with the biggest battalions."
Stalin once asked how many battalions does the Pope have? None!.
Look at Poland today and the both statements come sharply into focus. Napoleon was right and Stalin was wrong.
The Moosies have under estimated us to their peril.
