"In Africa, the homeland of all black people, Islam came from the Middle East and Christianity came from Europe and they all exerted inordinate damage."

NOPE. The first Black African convert was Queen Candace's eunuch who was baptised by Phillip, the Apostle on his way back to Ethiopia having been in Jerusalem for the Passover. Ethiopia's connection to Judaism dates back to the Ark of the Covenant Days and it is fiting that it can claim the first Black Christian whose baptism is recorded in the Acts of the Apostles.

My point is that I try not to confuse the Pope with the Vatican as the two are sometimes working at opposites. The Cardinals within the Vat bureaucracy can often time resemble more the EU bureaucrat PC elites rather than shepherds of Christ. He told us that we'd recognize the hirelings, the bad shepherds, by the fact that they would run away when the wolves approached to attack the flock. These hirelings are concerned only about themselves, their appearances, their PC credentials. You and I know what their ultimate reward will be. DO NOT DESPAIR. Christ will use the Pope, simple priests, good Bishops such as Bishop Gassis, and laywomen such as Brigitte Gabriel, brother and sister non-Catholic Christians such as Walid Shoebat . His arsenal is not limited to Vatican PC mouthpieces.

Aquinas (one of my favorite saints and ITALIAN to boot) :-)

I share your pain as a fellow ROMAN Catholic. However, as a 53 year old, I watched in my early years the appeasement toward Communism of the left wing elites at the Vatican. JP II was raised to the papacy to deal with that and upon Benedict's meeting with Oriana Fallaci and his first year or two of pronouncements, I thought God had sent us someone to speak truth to the falsehood of Islam. However, the Vatican apparatchik is like the US State Dept -- an organism existing within its host and NOT for its host's benefit. Tauran and other "career" Vatican bureaucrats are the real "ELITES". Note how he uses the term "the masses". Typical of the Left in its disdain for the common man and common sense.

I heard you on Savage, Mr. Spencer and you were your usual articulate self. But looking at this line up, though I am sure they are all fine shows, I see the "BIG TALKERS" are all weenie cowards who won't discuss jihad. What else is new?!

"...they are likely to press the ministry of the interior to deport several supporters associated with the group."

Deport SOME?? How about the whole lot of them! Kick em back to the desert.

You need immigrant labor, there are a whole bunch of us Italo Americans who no longer want to live under this Manchurian Candidate President with his cringing, boot licking apologias. Offer us airfare and some resettlement money or housing and we'll come repopulate the mother country.

Thanks for the link to the "mental deficencies of women explained". As a menopausal woman sweating and sleepless, I need all the good laughs I can get. I challenge any of these Luton bozos to keep up with my schedule with as little sleep as I AM getting right now in this beautiful stage of my womanly life.

Mr. Leigh: For real prescience, you may want to check out another of Britain's Roman Catholics, Hillaire Belloc who wrote in the mid 1930's that Islam would by the end of the 20th century be resurgent and posing yet another threat to the West (ala Constantinople, Malta, Lepanto and September 11-12, 1683 at the gates of Vienna). In fact I think Belloc would not be surprised by the date the 19 of Air Jihad chose.

Belloc saw Islam as yet another heresy of Christianity. I choose to call it a socio-political ideology masquerading as an Abrahamic religion.

There was plenty of snobbery by the Republican country club set such as Kathleen Parker and Peg(een) Noonan. They sniffed their patrician noses at her lack of a degree from one of the Seven Sisters colleges.

When back in 2001, some Chicago theater pals of mine found out my newly adopted dog was named "Dutch" in honor of President Reagan's nickname, they could not hide their contempt for "that senile ol' man" and me for actually admiring him. When one of the lawyers from my day job found out, he was standing a few feet away from Dutch, my darling dachshund. He actually raised his scrawny, pale little liberal leg as if to kick her, when I informed him that it would be the last time he would ever feel anything in that leg or the other one if he even tried.
This is their vitriol. And then they try to pin hate crimes on "the vast right wing". Puhleez!

I wear a button -- 53 and back to my high school button wearing days--- on my purse that says "Real men don't make women wear burqas".

EIght years after the jihad attacks on American soil, 9/11/09, I cannot tell you how many, many, many of my fellow Americans ask me: "What's a 'burqa' ?" Burqa, sharia, jihad, basic terms of the enemy and NOT A CLUE!

I hear so many people who assume actors are dumb. Well this dumb actress has managed a few dozen books on Islam, Islamic history, Islamic jurisprudence, etc. But I find even among my friends with post graduate degrees a general illiteracy on the subject of Islamic jihad, its Quranic basis, its history, its methods and its adherehent's intentions. Under Bush and Obama we are told "NO NEED TO PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THOSE BEARDED MEN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!"
