Man of peace upsets "Religion of Peace"
Pope Benedict has infuriated members of the "Religion of Peace" by quoting "the erudite Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus" in a much larger speech, the context of which was apparently lost on Mohammedans whose reading comprehension skills apparently approximate those of the average MoveOn.org kid. Who knew the NEA had a chapter in Kabul?
While we concur with Manuel II, it is not clear that Benedict does -- indeed, he almost certainly does not -- though the resulting violence and threats thereof seem to vindicate Paleologus.
We still are waiting for an answer to a question that strikes at the very heart of Islam: How can a man of war found a "religion of peace"?
The Jihadists have threatened the Pope's life.
The Soviets tried to assassinate John Paul II and failed. He went on to be instrumental in their defeat.
We pray that al Qaeda is similarly unsuccessful in their attempts.
However, al Qaeda need to understand the costs of success: Currently, most Westerners -- 100's of millions of whom are, at least nominally, Catholic -- are content to flow with the "religion of peace" canard in order to seem "tolerant".
Should harm come to Benedict it is likely that tolerance will evaporate, that the current silly concerns over waterboarding and military tribunals will quickly fall by the wayside. Perhaps then we will be able to fight a proper war against these savages.
Meanwhile, The NY Times continues to do the enemy's bidding ... .
