Voting Rodriguez Maradiaga will be an act of suicide for the Catholic church
Reader comment on: Will a Notorious Anti-Semite Become The Pope?
Submitted by Thomasson, Feb 19, 2013 21:09
Thousands of people throughout Western Europe had left the Catholic church due to the sexual scandals. In the Netherlands the influence of the church is decreasing by the year, especially the Catholic church in the Southern provinces of Limburg and Noord Brabant. Electing a primitive Third World personage like Rodriguez Maradiaga for the next pope will be the most stupid act the Vatican can do. Here he is, a disgraceful man that nobody in a modern Western country can take seriously as a messenger of God. It they want so much a pope from the Third World, they can better elect Cardinal Tutu from South Africa.

U.S.: Israel's Prosperity a Problem
by Shoshana Bryen
Under the circumstances, the U.S. would do better to tell the Palestinians there is no deal to be had unless they -- both the Fatah and Hamas -- demonstrably accommodate the reality that Israel is a legitimate, permanent part of the region. Otherwise, it is for Israel to determine how best to defend itself from those "challenges over the horizon."
The New, Improved Axis of Jihad
by Clare M. Lopez
Two years into the seismic shift that brought the forces of Islamic jihad and Sharia law to power in country after country in the Middle East and North Africa -- with the astonishing and extensive assistance from the U.S. -- Iran, Hizballah and al-Qa'eda apparently judge that the U.S. and its Western allies still need another nudge to ensure their complete retreat from "Muslim" lands. That nudge, according to independent, reliable and mutually-corroborating sources, has now been prepared by this Axis.

Why Doesn't the EU Condemn Palestinian Torture?
by Khaled Abu Toameh
More than half the 306 complaints about torture last year came from Palestinians who had been detained or imprisoned by Abbas's security forces in the West Bank; 11 detainees died in Palestinian Authority and Hamas prisons according to a report by the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights.
Who is Really Desecrating Holy Sites?
by Khaled Abu Toameh
The ultimate goal is to turn the conflict into a religious war between Jews and Muslims. If anyone is desecrating the holy site, it is those who smuggle petrol bombs and stones into the compound to use them against visitors.
