(Kathleen K. Duff serves on the Diocese of Albany's Commission for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs. She is a campus minister at Notre Dame-Bishop Gibbons School in Schenectady, N.Y. A version of this column first appeared in the Albany Times Union.)

[NYer]

This is what Bishop Howard Hubbard has wrought in this diocese. One more year to his retirement.

[yarddog]

Having observed the behavior of the followers of the Koran, I have no desire to read it, none at all.

[BenLurkin]

More evidence (as if any were needed) that educated fools are a danger to society.

[DallasDeb]

Me thinks she is confusing the devil that she has allowed into her soul, with the true God of Christians, of which Allah is NOT.

[July4]

Idiot.

[jmacusa]

Did you learn Bishop, that Mohammed was a demon-obsessed , murdering anti-Semitic pedophile? Did you learn that in his wretch ed life he organized and had carried out sixty-seven military campaigns, twenty-seven of them he led personally? Did you also learn that he preformed NO miracles and died for No ONES sins? Did you learn any of that, you f'ing idiot? Catholic my ass. You're an idiot.

[grobdriver]

She must have skipped right over a lot of those Suras...

[July4]

I meant Duff, not NYer, is an idiot!

[liberalh8ter]

Oy Vey. All I need to know about Islam I learned on 9/11. It's been reinforced by the infiltration of Muslims to my Country, since. The tradition of inhabiting what they perceive to be their conquest continues to this day and is unfortunately being aided by the PC idiots in government and the public, at large.

[G Larry]

uhh....

The deceits of Satan to be wary of?

[Psycho_Bunny]

“The Quran inspired me, taught me and helped me to remember my essential holiness and how that holiness in the image of God should be reflected in the world.”

This woman is a complete and total idiot.

The only thing the Quran ever helped me remember is how much I hated reading Mein Kampf.

Turns out they’re the same book.

And they met the same fate in my garbage can.

Anyone who likes or respects the Quran cannot be trusted: their judgement is utterly questionable.

[rollo tomasi]

The Quran inspired me, taught me and helped me to remember my essential holiness and how that holiness in the image of God should be reflected in the world.

ROTFLMAO, even when God was SPECIFICALLY ordering Joshua to wreck havoc upon the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perrizites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites He did not PERPETUALLY order/allow the Israelites to rape the women as long as they did not get them pregnant. What an intellectual weak and blinded fool this female is.

[Triple]

So why is that Catholics don’t have a saint Muhammad?

Either:

- There was no supernatural encounter by Muhammad (He just made it all up himself.)

-Or-

- Muhammad’s encounter was supernatural, but not with God.

I am sure there is a detailed description of the official church findings in the Vatican archives. (under lock and key)

Money is fungible. Money spent somewhere is money not spent somewhere else. Apparently the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Albany thinks it is doing so fantastically in all “Catholic” aspects of its mission that it has “exceess” funds it can spend on someone who pines:

“I was in solidarity with my Muslim sisters and brothers”.

[Buckeye McFrog]

“as even in Arabic it is slightly more comprehensible than the New Roman Missal...”

[LegendHasIt]

Yeah, catholics can learn lots from the Qur'an.

Like this one, which has always guided my path to living a Godly life, leading to Heaven:

Quran; Surah 004: Ayah 089:
Take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah. Seize them and slay them wherever ye find them.

[Never on my watch]

My copy of the Quran, with more than 1,700 pages, has sat on the top shelf of my bedroom bookcase among other sacred texts for 14 years.

The Koran is not a sacred text. There is no moral equivalency with the Bible or Torah.

This guy probably has "Dianetics" among his 'sacred texts'

[Capt. Tom]

Among my greatest lessons from the Quran was to be reminded to have faith, seek the truth, praise God, pray, forgive, be kind, be peaceful and take care of people who are most vulnerable — those who are oppressed and often forgotten.

Good gravy ,how could anyone read the Koran and Hadiths and come to that conclusion.

Perhaps her reading is colored by her belief in another supernatural being that is a forgive and forget love your neighbor, be kind, help other people out advocate.-Tom

[manc]

I guess he missed the over hundred verses calling for death to non muslims.

What is it with the West, why do some feel that we have to appease muslims, our ways and views and appease the homostapo in order to think we might become friends with them.
Islam is the new kid on the block and which bows, worships a child molestor , i guess such facts like this are just not seen or heard to many of the dopes.

ARF

[pgkdan]

The author is a moron. And probably a liar as well. I dont believe for a minute that she actually read that demonic screed and came away wanting to sing Kumbya with Muslim savages.
