Christiandom stirring?

Once again my friends, we are treated to the spector of peaceful muslims on the march in western cities, over the reading of statements uttered during a religious war that occured over 500 years ago. Pope Benedict is now the target of vicious attacks, from verbal insults to threats of death.

Pope Benedict's merely reading a historical quote has touched off yet another firestorm of muslim protest, yet another round of red faced, frothing at the mouth protests as well as murder, vandalism and threats.

My friends; think, think about what has transpired. It is high time that westerners, whether religious or not, begin think about what we are faced with.

I will not belabor the fact that Islam is full of contradictions, which is really where it derives it's strength. That Islam easily lends itself to the justification of violence and making war. That once a person becomes a muslim, he is fairly considered a slave to the religion. That politics and Islam walk hand in hand. In the Islamic world, everything is based on Islam, the law, government, worship, dress, diet, personal conduct, there is no such thing as free will in Islam; one does indeed "submit" to the religion. Read more about Islamic teachings here.

A fellow blogger who happens to be a Catholic attended mass this past Sunday. After the mass was concluded and he was leaving historical Westminster Cathedral was met with about 100 muslim protestors. You can read his account here.

My friends, if it is not now patently obvious to you then you are purposely hiding from reality. There is an element within the Isamic world community that while finding it perfectly legitimate to comment on Christianity, indeed to openly condem and criticize it, they cannot and will not tolerate the same.

What does the future hold in store regarding Christian/Muslim relations? I do not know, but the consequences are quite ominous. It is my hope that moderate muslims will soon speak out and that the radical element be effectively marginalized and be squeezed out.
