Cardinal George Pell has declared yet again Islam is more warlike than Christianity, this time to a US Catholic newspaper.
The Catholic Archbishop of Sydney told the National Catholic Reporter (NCR) Australia hadn't been affected much by Islamic threat following the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US, but this could change depending "on how many terrorist attacks" Muslim fundamentalists could "bring off successfully", Fairfax newspapers report.
In the interview conducted in Rome with well-known NCR reporter John L Allen, Dr Pell said "the million-dollar question" was whether intolerance was a modern distortion of Islam or arose out of internal logic.
"It's difficult to find periods of tolerance in Islam," Australia's top Catholic was quoted as saying.
"I'm not saying that they're not there, but a good deal of what is asserted is mythical."
It is the second time in a month that Dr Pell has made controversial remarks about Islam.
In early April, the religious leader commented that the Koran contained "invocations to violence" and that Islam was an intolerant faith.
The newspapers quoted Islamic Friendship Association spokesman Keysar Trad as saying Dr Pell had displayed his misunderstanding of Islam.
Dr Pell was in Rome last week for meetings of the Vox Clara Commission, a body of English-speaking bishops advising the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments on liturgical translation issues.
Proof please
Saddam openly supported terrorism. That made his country a target.
COULDN'T BIN LADEN HAVE DONE THE SAME?
Only if you believe that Bin Laden being a Muslim is only a coincidence. If you look at the recent major terrorist events, you'll find that almost all of them share that same attribute. You don't see the Lutherans bombing subways and delis. Oddly, it always seems to be the Muslims. Coincidence?

That trolling horse's ass is gone. He'll emerge later with another signon, most likely.
Regarding your AH question, let Adolph's best friend answer that himself:
"Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda, noted:
"The Fuhrer is deeply religous, though completely anti-Christian. He views Christianity as a symptom of decay. Rightly so. It is a branch of the Jewish race... Both [Judaism and Christianity] have no point of contact to the animal element, and thus, in the end, they will be destroyed. The Fuhrer is a convinced vegetarian, on principle. His arguments cannot be refuted on any serious basis. They are totally unanswerable."

I'll keep it in mind, I'm looking for a new church.
Get yourself a copy of "Faith of Our Fathers" and the Baltimore Catechism and learn to ignore most stuff except Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. You'll be glad you did, so will I.
