> He points out that: “the Koran is a total religious law

Ah, for the days of a truly Catholic pope, who would simply come out and reiterate that Islam is a FALSE religion, rather than engaging in doublespeak and continuing to promote syncretistic ecumenism.

We need the next Pope St. Pius V! Where are you?!?

Pope Benedict XVI is a TRUE Catholic pope, in full communion with Rome, unlike those schismatics who were excommunicated by Pope John Paul II. Good riddance, theology aside, they act more like Protestants than Catholics in how they conduct their actions, and engage in dialog. Pope B16 is absolutely correct in saying that "the Koran is a total religious law". It is absolute and uncompromising, unable to reform itself from it's 7th century ineptness, and preaches hate, as it always has. It is a total religious law for Muslims, and that is why we have problems with them. The biggest problem is that traditional Islam is violent, and the traditionalists go by the book, the Koran. They cannot accept change and move on, much like some others...

you left out the whole thought:

the Koran is a total religious law, which regulates the whole of political and social life and insists that the whole order of life be Islamic.


Far from any doublespeak, this is an accurate observation about Islam. It doesn't promote "syncretistic ecumenism" nor does it dilute any condemnation of Islam.
