I don’t have a lot of respect for Joseph Ratzinger (the current Pope). But he did make a good identification on the weekend – specifically that Islam is spread by the sword.
Now Muslims worldwide have been demonstrating, and burning churches. How can anyone say that Islam is a religion of peace? It is a religion of submission.
Of course, the real battle is not really Muslim versus Christian. Some might observe it to be Muslim versus non-Muslim. A better identifiation is Islam versus rationality.
