Pope Benedict XVI arrives in Germany for visit
2006-09-10

#7  I can only hope that Pope Benedict does not lose any of the momentum he began with in terms of criticizing Islam and Muslim majority nations for their disregard of religious freedom.

Like John Paul before him, Benedict holds vast power in shaping this world's political future. It is critical that all other churches belabor Islam for its theistic monoculture and making apostasy a capital offense.

This world must present a united front in resistance of Islam's aspirations to become a global religious power. Benedict has one of the strongest levers to move it towards that end.

#5  Perhaps you joined us after TGA left, gromgoru, and so you don't know who he is. He is a German Jew, who survived first the Nazi concentration camps, then the Soviet Stalags. He used to be active on the Jewish Council in Germany, which is the interface between the German Jewish community and the German government, as well as advising the government more or less unofficially in a variety of capacities. He spoke in passing of mentioning this site to Secretary of Defence Rumsfeld, when the gentleman visited Germany. He also consulted with Angela Merkel's campaign, and hasn't been heard from since her election to the Chancellorship. TGA knew the pope socially back when he was a mere archbishop, and spoke approvingly of his character and knowledge, which certainly shaped my opinion of the gentleman.
