Vatican calls on Muslim leaders to condemn Islamic State

"Religious leaders also are called on to exercise their influence with the rulers for the cessation of these crimes, the punishment of those who commit them and the restoration of the rule of law throughout the country, ensuring the return home of the deported," the Vatican said.

 

Good people can not sit quietly while letting such atrocities go on. Organizations like CAIR need to lead the condemnation or their assertions about a peaceful religion can not remain credible. I applaud the Vatican’s strong statement.

I have posted about the Pew study, but saw this posted at EWTN.  I hope this is correct and PEW got it wrong, but it seems the radical Islamists sure have been effective at taking advantage of volatile situations.  

"Democratic" Egypt Sends Apostates to Their Death

“The Egyptians in revolt are asking for more freedom, but they also want the death penalty for those who convert from Islam to another religion. A major survey on the most populous Muslim country of northern Africa and the Middle East”

"Democratic" Egypt Sends Apostates to Their Death

As Sandro Magister points out in this article of a survey done by Pew in the Middle East, Christians will be the biggest losers with in the societies themselves.  Sharia law seems to be acceptable to a majority.  While dictators seems to give a sense of pseudo tolerance of Christian communities, the communities live with a ghetto mentality of them against us.  Conversions can get the convert in hot water and place families in jeopardy.  This situation is very sad and will take a miraculous intervention to bring real peace.  Pray for peace.

Just a little piece of info that should help to emphasize yesterday's post about Islamic law.

Iran issues warning to 62,000 'badly veiled' women
This is not the kind of society I would want to live in. Yet fools think that we can have Islamic law operating side by side with governments such as we have in America. There can be no true freedom in the exercise of religion in a society that tolerates the mistreatment of women, and just because some women choose to go along with it because of fear or ignorance of what happens to other women in their society does not mean we in the free world should not oppose this. Shame on people who will go along with such a notion, because they are encouraging a lie. Islam is not compatible with Christianity. WE can talk from points of agreement, but we can not agree that they are compatible. Here is an excellent article that is an interview with a woman who was a victim of Sharia law.

And just in case you think this can never happen in America and that the society would never sanction this violence against women, then you should read No reason to be tolerant of female genital mutilation - The Globe and Mail: . The price of liberty is eternal vigilence as a founding father once pointed out.
