MILAN, NOW BOLOGNA - THOUSANDS OF PROSTRATE MUSLIMS FACE MECCA PRAY AT CHURCH, AMID ANTI-JEWISH ACTS
Remember this last week, when the Muslim hordes took over the Gothic church grounds in Milan and performed takbir (expansion) and some akbar? They allegedly apologized --- but they keep on doing it. Islamic imperialism. (photo hat tip Gaia)
Vatican alarmed by Muslims burning Israeli flags outside cathedrals Times Online
The Vatican has expressed alarm over the burning of Israeli flags by Muslims protesting against Israeli actions in Gaza during Muslim prayers staged outside Italian cathedrals
The Vatican has expressed alarm over the burning of Israeli flags by Muslims protesting against Israeli actions in Gaza during Muslim prayers staged outside Italian cathedrals.
However prayers held recently outside the Duomo in Milan and the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna, with thousands of prostrate Muslims facing Mecca, had been accompanied by flag burning which was not only anti Israeli but anti Semitic, with protesters carrying banners depicting the Star of David alongside the Nazi swastika. "What matters is the spirit in which one prays - and prayer excludes hate" Cardinal Martino said.
Bishop Ernesto Vecchi, vicar general of the Bologna diocese, said the Muslim prayers were "not just prayers but a challenge, not so much to the basilica itself as to our democratic system and culture". Bishop Vecchi suggested the staging of mass prayers outside Christian churches in Italy was a deliberate move "on orders from afar" as part of a strategy of "Islamisation" of Europe.
Just last week Muslims were kneeling down in prayer in front of Milan's gothic cathedral as they protest Israel ...... it starts with the Jew, the Sunday folks are next.
Hey, I'm Jewish and this makes my skin crawl.
UPDATE: Gaia translated the article in the Italian newspaper for us and adds this note: Bologna is a city which has traditionally had a strong communist administration which has offered land in the centre of town to the muslim community for the construction of a mega mosque and citadel. There is a campaign launched by the local people to prevent this.
March and prayer pro Gaza in centre town
Slogans against Israel, flags burned

The Church needs to take a pro-Israeli stand in a hurry. First Cardinal Martino and the concentration camp comments. Now they express alarm over the burning of Israeli flags.
Benedict needs to start making some strong statements here. As a former (forced) Hitler Youth I can't imagine he doesn't see what is taking place, the frightening similarities. The Regensburg controversy had me very hopeful.
As a Roman Catholic recently returned to the church after many years this is all not just disappointing but deeply disturbing.
Good point about Benedict, MR. You're right. He of all people ought to see what's happening. If he doesn't speak out, then we will have to believe the worst of him.
What could his excuse for not speaking out possibly be?
MR,
Please write a post on that subject.
I keep waiting for Christians to take a stand and wake up!!

The Pope is doing his best;

Thanks, Anonymous.
CS,
I thought our fellow Christians would wake up. But, now I'm convinced they will not. Sorry to say it, but it should have happened long ago.

"World War III: Moslem Forces Seize Europe" more like signs that Europeans are surrendering without much of a fight.
Which is really funny, because the Muslims put themselves in a great position for us to just fucking destroy them, don't they?
I guess you'd call that the power of prayer.
Once upon a time there were Romans!

What do you mean? Is that Latin?
The pictures speak on their own fellow bloggers;
this is not a protest against Israel but a declaration
of war against Europe and everything non-Islamic.
When I was warning other fellow Europeans about
forthcoming islamic hordes invading Europe they said that I was exaggerating and we have to tolerate other cultures.
Which cultures, I wonder? Cultures who want us dead just because we do not believe in Islam?
I'm afraid we'll have to carry weapons very soon
in Europe to save our lives.
After all, if all these islamists want to fight
Israelis just go to Gaza and fight, they have no right
to cause any damage to the countries that host
them. That's enough and it's really disgusting.
Italy is not responsible for Gaza, nor is Spain,
Belgium, Germany and so many other countries.
