Has that ever, in history, worked? Ever?
From the Associated Press:
NICOSIA, Cyprus – The Vatican said Sunday that the international community is ignoring the plight of Christians in the Middle East, and that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the war in Iraq and political instability in Lebanon have forced thousands to flee the region.
A working paper released during Pope Benedict XVI's pilgrimage to Cyprus to prepare for a crisis summit of Middle East bishops in Rome in October also cites the "extremist current" unleashed by the rise of "political Islam" as a threat to Christians.
In his final Mass in Cyprus on Sunday, Benedict said he was praying that the October meeting will focus the attention of the international community "on the plight of those Christians in the Middle East who suffer for their beliefs."
He appealed for an "urgent and concerted international effort to resolve the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, especially in the Holy Land, before such conflicts lead to greater bloodshed."
The Vatican considers mostly Greek Orthodox Cyprus as a bridge between Europe and the Middle East and invited bishops to come to the Mediterranean island to receive the working paper to counter the exodus of thousands of Christians in recent years because of war and harsh economic conditions.
A meeting between the pope and a Muslim leader was scrapped after the Turkish Cypriot official was delayed crossing the United Nations-controlled buffer zone dividing the island, the Vatican said.
Yusuf Suicmez, the head of Turkish Cypriots' religious affairs department, said he had hoped to pray with the pope for peace and brotherhood. Benedict briefly met with another Turkish Cypriot Muslim leader on Saturday as part of efforts to talk to both sides of the island's decades-old conflict and help foster reconciliation.

we've become the Muslims BITCHES, they have bought up the West's markets with our own money for oil.
we have allowed ourselves to become not only dependent on them but OWNEDby them. we cant pass a bill to create a Manhattan Project style program to become free of foreign oil... our Legislators have sold their Souls to Arab influence.
the truth can not be told by the media.. they are held hostage by Arabification. i am a member of the http://www.democraticunderground.com forum, undeniable the most progressive forum in the USA. it is filled with the best minds around, many in government and the military. but they will Tombstone you for dissing the Muslims.. i must admit they have been somewhat patient with me tho.. you just have to put it rightly..
it is an official political party forum, that apparently tries to keep Religion free of politics.. but Islam is a Political System more than a religion anyway.
the Muslims are very good at manipulating politics for being such a chaotic dysfunctional culture. Islam is Arabification, a germicidal based Racially Supremest movement. the only thing near to it in our culture is the Borg on Star Trek. i coined the terms.. "Borglam...Borglims..Borglimification..Ballah. i hope it will convey a subliminal"l view of Islam. i think Roddenberry had a very deep understanding of Islam. or at least the Alien Muse he channeled did. I'm just do'n my appointed part in this journey. thru out my life i have only been a Catalyst. in my passn thru this life i have managed to initiate some change, but it has not change my path. i have always had the Cassandra Complex
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassandra_(metaphor)
but i have made some break thru's
it is flat amazing how badly people Kneejerk when you try to inform them about Islam.. when they have Never read one bit of info.. only been brainwashed to respond with the 'Patented' view. even educated people go Lame on the subject.
Thank God for you, that you do what you do in the Democratic Underground forum. Thanks.
