WASHINGTON – A Washington emeritus Catholic Cardinal has joined a galaxy of American Muslim leaders in condemnations against the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), defending Islamic teachings as similar to Christianity’s.
“In the name of God, the Merciful and Compassionate,” McCarrick said as he introduced himself to the audience at a meeting arranged by the Muslim Public Affairs Council held last September 10, The Daily Caller website reported.
“Catholic social teaching is based on the dignity of the human person… [and] as you study the holy Qur’an, as you study Islam, basically, this is what Muhammad the prophet, peace be upon him, has been teaching,” the Cardinal added.True enough, but he was also teaching that one must wage war on--and even behead--the infidel for the sake of superseding both Peoples of the Book.
My admonition also extends to a certain Russian Orthodox cleric:
MOSCOW – Russia’s Orthodox archpriest Dmitri Smirnov has told congregants in his last Sunday sermon that the future belongs to Muslims, praising them for offering help to the needy without repay, unlike the Christians in this land.
“In fact, during their [Muslim] festivals, the people are scared to enter their areas (in Moscow) because tens of thousands of young Muslim men fall down on their knees and worship God,” World Bulletin quoted the archpriest on Wednesday, September 10.
“Where have you seen that many Orthodox men? You cannot see them anywhere at any time,' he added...I'm guessing the people are scared to enter their areas for another reason--because they fear being set upon by tens of thousands of young male Muslim fanatics.
