Cardinal Pell offends Muslims - again
2006-06-05
Cardinal George Pell has declared yet again Islam is more warlike than Christianity, this time to a US Catholic newspaper. The Catholic Archbishop of Sydney told the National Catholic Reporter Australia hadn't been affected much by Islamic threat following the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US, but this could change depending "on how many terrorist attacks" Muslim fundamentalists could "bring off successfully".

In the interview conducted in Rome with NCR reporter John L Allen, Dr Pell said "the million-dollar question" was whether intolerance was a modern distortion of Islam or arose out of internal logic. "It's difficult to find periods of tolerance in Islam," Australia's top Catholic was quoted as saying. "I'm not saying that they're not there, but a good deal of what is asserted is mythical." It is the second time in a month that Dr Pell has made controversial remarks about Islam.
"An' we're keepin' track!"
In early April, the religious leader commented that the Koran contained "invocations to violence" and that Islam was an intolerant faith.
There goes the Cardinal, hatemongering again...

#8  Speaking truth to the power hungry.

Although Alhamedi is no longer blogging on the Religous Policeman he promises to keep the Muslim Offense Level (MOL) indicator current. Right now it is still Condition BLUE-- GUARDED.

#7  "We're a peaceful people and we'll kill anyone who denies it."

Way to go, sh!theads.

Hats off to Cardinal Pell. The Catholic Church has an obligation to mankind to use its power to expose the intolerance of Islam. The Vatican must begin demanding freedom of religious practice in all Islamic countries. If this liberty is denied, then the Catholic Chucrch should demand a similar restriction on the worship of Islam in countries where Catholicism is freely practiced.

There must be quid pro quo from Islam or it must be labeled for the intolerant genocidal political ideology that it is.

#6  Let me rephrase that, he's alive, and not a Muslim, that's enough to wind their turbans, plus he;s a high ranking member of the "Opposition" and extremely unlikely to convert.

As I said, it's in the job description, meaning he's alive, that's enough.

#5  He's Catholic, isn't "Offending Muslims" in the job description?

Nope, that probably changed with Benedict XVI, but catholics here are the regular dhimmis (well, french catholic hierarchy is very PC, multiculti, progressist, freemason, what-have-you), there have been several case of churches being sold or leased for a symbolic euro to be converted into mosques, all along the official mantra of the one-way street oecumenism.
And I won't forget the photography of Pope John Paul II (who I respected) kissing the koran... what did the muslim think, seeing the man they more or less see as the chief of the crusaders kissing the embodiment of the word of allan, I wonder. I suppose it was "we are going to win, they've submitted already".

#1  When will the Humiliation cease? Won't theses Pious Moderate Muslim ever left alone? I fear some of their young Shahids will have to take that into their hands, and turn Sydney's soil into an ocean of blood, for their Dignity has been attacked.
