Seems like Oriana Fallaci’s cicadas are still crawling out in Italy to make their lovely music.
The definition of irony: how extremist Islam and Shariah in Europe are being midwifed into birth by smug and self-satisfied modern atheists who are too foolish to see their own impending demise.

Submitting to the religion that believes Jesus existed and was holy but denies His divinity, His death. amd His resurrection is to deny Jesus.
Why bow to the antiChrist’s “religion”? It leads the faithful astray and has them kill in the name of a warlord.

Well before 9-11 a nurse I know in Houston told me she was instructed not to look at muslim men in the eye when they visit the hospital.

Well, instead of removing the cross, set up next to it the Star of David for Jews, a Cow for Hindus;, Prayers beads for Buddhists, and a Bloody Sword for Muslims.

I know this story is about Italy. And I know that the USA is a republic and not a democracy. But I just want to say that the extremists who seem to like democracy, and who favor majority rule, also seem to be the same folks who say "30% of the people might be offended, so the other 70% are going to have to change their ways."
The folks who like democracy actually don't.

Well, guees what, they are also offended by the fact that all of Spain is not mohammedan, so just save some time and convert now. It’s where you and the rest of Europe are headed anyway.

Muslims have a problem with the Cross because it is through the Cross that we are saved.
Islam is an anti-Christian religion.

This constant giving in to these unappeasables makes me sick. Just once I’d like to hear.. “This is a predominately Catholic country and and if you don’t like it go back where you came from!”
To: Bosco
catholic theology takes it as being mary. you see it in much of the artwork; mary stand on the moon with a crown of 12 stars. Even the EU flag is based on the crown of Mary - 12 gold stars. (the only reference to christianity in the EU, thanks to a good ole catholic monarchist Otto von Hapsburg)
“She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod. 5 Her child was caught up to God and his throne. “ rev. 12:5

Maybe one day they'll figure out that respecting the faith of others does not mean abandoning your own.
It is a Catholic hospital. As such, it represents a means of evangelization and outreach towards those whom it treats. There should be no obnoxious, "in your face" proselytization towards those of other faiths whom it holds captive due to illness, so to speak, but at the same time, the Catholic character of the hospital should be there and on display for all to see and experience. From the care and behavior of the staff to the visible symbols of the Catholic faith which adorn it.
Nobody is obligated to use a Catholic hospital so there is no need to apologize for being Catholic.
To: RexBeach
Now, imagine youre a Catholic in a hospital in Saudi Arabia. What would happen if you requested a crucifix be hung in your hospital room? Hmmmm? Great point.

That is why we have decided to replace the crucifix with the image of the Madonna, which is also appreciated by Muslim women,Huh? What significance does Mary have to Islam? I thought Catholic reverence for Mary was why the Moozies consider them polytheists.
