Juan Williams Is Not The Only One Afraid--Vatican: Koran Permits Killing Of Christians

During a meeting of bishops at the Vatican, it became clear that others are also somewhat afraid of Muslims:

The Koran is a text that encourages Islam to impose itself with force and permits the killing of Christians, said Lebanon's Catholic Patriarch of Antioch Archbishop Raboula Beylouni, addressing a Vatican meeting of Middle East bishops.


"The Koran gives Muslims the right to judge Christians and kill them with Jihad," he said. "It gives orders to impose religion with force, with the sword. For this reason, Muslims don't recognise the freedom of religion among themselves or others."

Pope Benedict XVI on 11 Oct. the opened the two-week-long meeting of 246 Middle East bishops and other religious leaders by lashing out against violence "in God's name".

The pontiff warned delegates to guard against the spread of "terrorist ideology" in the modern world.

The point is that the long history of Islamist Jihad, with its conquests and occupations, needs to be addressed and aired out.
