I and 100s of Millions of residents of Christendom shall sleep well tonight. It is obvious that the Sheik in your post is about to sway the 1.5 Billion or so Islamicists on the planet to do a 180 on the violence thing.
This is especially a relief to the Christians of East Timor and the Sudan. It is so obvious they won't have to look forward to forced conversion, mutilation, death and slavery. Allah the Merciful be Praised. As soon as the Albanians hear the sheik's words read to them in their mosques, they will cease their depredations in Kosovo and Macedonia. It's just going to be one big happy planet again, real soon.
Peace, Love, Woodstock, my Muslim Brothers. I just knew that the good news of Sheik Palazzi would let you all see the bright light of Muhammed's (May Peace Be Upon Him) true teaching after 14 centuries of having your collective head up an incontinent camel's nether passage. The slaughter, the slavery: they were just a mistaken interpretation of Qu'ran on the part of just a few "bad" Muslims ... I sorta "just knew" that must have been the case, 'cause you folks are really great guys!
I am so taken with the good sheik's brilliant précis of the true meaning of this wonderful religion of peace, that I am petitioning the Pope to allow this wonderful man to preach at St. Peter's in Rome! I understand April 1 is available.
You think it absurd, merely because it is ambitious. But in practice, nothing is so weak, so cowardly, so defeatist, as not even trying because the task looks hard.
