"The Pope's private secretary has given warning of the Islamisation of Europe and stressed the need for the continent's Christian roots not to be ignored, in comments released yesterday.

"Attempts to Islamise the West cannot be denied," Monsignor Georg Gaenswein was quoted as saying in an advance copy of the weekly Sueddeutsche Magazin to be published today."

Things might get interesting tomorrow.

And as if to prove the Pope’s point, the Ads by Google section at the bottom of the Telegraph.co.uk page includes:

He also defended a speech that the Pope gave last year that linked Islam and violence, saying it had been an attempt by the pontiff to "act against a certain naivety".

Very good. We have a lot of those naive folks here, too. Most of them belong to a particular party.

Well, that’s the add it include the first time I loaded the page, subsequent loadings of the page give a different ad for the same website.

I think it's too late for Europe and the United States is not far behind!

how long til the Muslims light something on fire or blow something up, you know, to denounce the Pope and prove that theirs is a religion of ‘peace?’

“Very good. We have a lot of those naive folks here, too. Most of them belong to a particular party.”

Yes, but that particular party, and its adherents, combine naivete with an arrogant belief that they know better than anyone else. It’s a pitiful combination, but then, that’s what leftists are, pitiful.

Islam linked to violence? Nooo...

[sageb1]

That’s typical. Glad you noticed it because I missed it.

[wardaddy]

sometimes I really like this Pope when he leaves the Reformation alone and addresses things that are a clear and present danger to Christendom and civilization

[sageb1]

That’s the first time I’ve seen that one. Pretty nasty...and so true.

Mohammedans’ religion might be sustained by scimitars, but Christians’ religion must be maintained by love.  C. H. Spurgeon 1880

[jan in Colorado]

Remember when the Pope quoted this last year?

"Show me just what Mohammed 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."
-Manuel II Paleologus

Well, the cartoons were a reaction to his comments.

Short of all out Religious wars, you are likely correct regarding Europe. The framework (Political Correctness, Multi-Cultural progression, etc.) is in place to take the United States. Will it happen here? One would quickly want to say, “no, of course not”, but my question is simple. Who’s actually going to stop it?

[sageb1]

Thanks, I save most of them. I guess I just missed these two.
