I've Been Thinking:

Pope Benedict the XVI wound up his visit to Cyprus with a scathing attack against radical Islam.

He said: "Extremist (Islamic) currents, clearly a threat to everyone, Christians and Muslims alike, require a treatment in common."

Pope Benedict has been developing this theme for years, but for the past 18 months his fear has remained practically dormant because of the backlash that met his previous comments.

This Pope understands radical Islam. He as written about it and has taught about it. Whatever it was that stimulated Pope Benedict XVI to speak out against radical Islam once again and express this strong concern, it had to have inspired fear.

Radical Islam is dangerous.
Pope Benedict XVI is issuing a warning to us all.
