CINCINNATI-- Complaints and a request from the archbishop have led a Cincinnati Roman Catholic high school to drop plans for a Ramadan dinner to build goodwill with Muslims. Kirsten MacDougal, president of Mother of Mercy school, says Archbishop Dennis Schnurr received "emotionally charged" emails, mostly from outside the area, and asked the girls' school to cancel its Friday night plans. The event instead will be held at a church parish center. A spokesman for Schnurr tells The Cincinnati Enquirer the complaints centered around the school's partnership with the local chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. The U.S. has linked the council to a terror financing case and the FBI won't work directly with its members. Local Council on American-Islamic Relations officials say they work against terrorism and violence.

These 'goodwill" gestures seem to pop up like acne. Just once I'd like to see one initiated by the moslems. Instead, it's always the Christians reaching out, which is fine, but some one ought to get a clue that there is nothing mutual about these love-ins.

Really. Have they expressed regret about the 9/11 attack? Have they expressed regret that their own national chapter has expressed no regret and instead uses U.S. laws to aid and fund anti-American, pro-terrorist Islamic organizations? If not, the people in favor of this dinner are naive--useful idiots, Lenin would call them.

..."emotionally charged" emails...

What's the difference between an "emotionally charged email" and an "emotionally charged" Ramadamadingdong dinner for the "Most of my best friends are Muslims" crowd?

Thank you!
I’m just going to say this. I’m a Catholic and I’m sick of all of these Catholic, and Christian, churches being STUPID enough to grovel and kiss Muslim behinds with these ‘events’!
Where are the MUSLIM groups hosting Christian love fests?
It’s one thing when a group of people say, outright, that they want to subjugate and/or erase you and your religion. It’s another when people of those religions LIE DOWN and ask to be stepped on and feed and schmooze their enemies!
About time the people affiliated with these brown-nosing schools and churches struck back!

“..it's always the Christians reaching out”

Why is the Catholic church endorsing a pagan religion? Where is the Pope on this?

Ahhh....

Go ahead and have the dinner. Ham Dinners.

Be sure to ask God’s Blesing before the meal.

In Jesus name... Amen.

Especially during the Crusades, which is the kind of “reaching out” I'm thinking about...

It’s getting so it’s not just BOHICA, but also bend over and make sure to use your hand to draw a line on your neck for the scimitar, so the Muslim knows where to slice. That and pointing out your jugular.

Well, first of all, the "Catholic Church" is not endorsing anything of the sort. It is a group of I believe misguided people at a local high school. Now that being said, I do not think that Islam is a pagan religion. I believe it is a satanic cult!

Christians have known Moslems for a long time: “Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”
Most practical, farsighted Christians are buying lots of guns and ammo for the inevitable war.
The archbishop should cancel the parish dinner. Protect your wives and daughters.
