"I think it would have been useful to Catholic-Muslim dialogue in this country for him to teach in the United States," Father Tiso said. Fine! Let him find a non-sectarian college or university.

Eff him and the horse he tried to ride in on! What was Notre Dame thinking? The more I see of Islam the more I am convinced it is nothing but a death cult. It may not have always been thus but it has certainly evolved into one. Of course, in a reciprocal move, I'm sure some priest has been invited to spend a semester at Riyadh U lecturing on the glories of Christianity. NOT!

A MUST READ ... AT THIS LINK In an interview about ten years ago, I was asked candidly and with enviable optimism: Do you also hold that Europe will either be Christian or not be? It seems to me that the reply I made then is well suited to the conclusion of my statements today.
I think I said then that Europe will either become Christian again or become Muslim. What seems to me to be without a future is the culture of nothing, of freedom without limits or content, of scepticism hailed as an intellectual conquest, which seems to be the attitude mainly dominant among the European peoples, more or less rich in means and poor in truth. This culture of nothing (supported by hedonism and libertine insatiability) will not be able to bear the ideological assault of Islam, which will not be lacking. Only the rediscovery of the Christian drama as the only salvation for man and thus only a decisive resurrection of the ancient spirit of Europe can offer a different outcome to this inevitable confrontation.
Unfortunately, neither the secularists nor the Catholics seem to be aware of the drama that is approaching. The secularists, hammering at the Church in every way possible, do not realize that they are fighting the strongest source of inspiration and the most valid defense of Western civilization and its values of rationality and freedom: perhaps they will realize it too late. .....

And leave it to the liberal US Conference of Catholic Bishops to go in the tank for this pagan towel head.

Notre Dame needs to import some REAL Catholic theologians and denounce Islam as the heresy it is.

"And Ramadan's studies could benefit from closely observing the very different role religion plays in U.S. society than it does in Europe, he added."
Has'nt anyone figured it out yet? What is there to "learn" or "study" about Islam.? People who cant even read or write can tell you whats in the Bull$**t book.
Quran 9:5 Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.
If they believe in the quran, then this my friend is enough grounds to revoke and take the whole lot of them back to the sand pits of Bagdad or wherever they came from.

Quran 8:39 So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).
Ishaq:324 He said, Fight them so that there is no more rebellion, and religion, all of it, is for Allah only. Allah must have no rivals.

Ramadan said he makes "no apologies for taking a critical look at both Islam and the West... Looks like he'll be doing it in Switzerland.

What was Notre Dame thinking?Same thing they were thinking when they brought in a very militant aethist to teach philosophy in order to 'challenge' the students there. I know this because he was a friend in a past life.

"Ramadan said he makes "no apologies for taking a critical look at both Islam and the West; in doing so I am being true to my faith and to the ethics of my Swiss citizenship. I believe Muslims can remain faithful to their religion and be able, from within pluralistic and democratic societies, to oppose all injustices."
BS He is another Islamic radical trying to convince us they are peaceful. NOT! Just ask the families of the two Americans the SOB's just beheaded. Send him to Abadan Iran they would love to hear from him.

He said he shares some Muslims' criticisms of Western governments, including "the deleterious worldwide effects of unregulated American consumerism" and finds U.S. policies in the Middle East "misguided and counterproductive." Lives in one of the most prosperous European countries and was on his way to live the cushy life of a professor on a major US campus. More Muslim hypocrisy.

Is anyone aware of high-quality blogs or other sources of news about this -- outside of the MSM?
I live just 40 miles from ND, so I have a special interest in this matter. I'm very skeptical of Islam. But on the other hand, I don't want to be harsh toward a Muslim who wants his religion to evolve into something modern and peaceful. I doubt Mr. Ramadan is one of the good guys, but I'm willing (and happy) to be wrong about that.
