Well, we discussed the religion of peace in the past. It has been rammed down our throats that Islam is a religion of peace and that the insurgents (read terrorists) are just a radical faction. We have been told that our actions are responsible for this uprising and killing that has taken place. Hogwash!
The insurgents have taken a Catholic archbishop hostage. You can make all the claims you want about their reactions being about the way we treat them but you need to really reach out to come up with a valid reason these monstors took a religious man hostage. If these people were truly peaceful you would expect them to have left another holy man alone. Add this to the Imam’s instructions to kill and I think we have the answer about this peaceful BS.
Interestingly, the Vatican, who was against the war and wanted us to find a better way to deal with these troubled people is calling the abduction an act of terrorism. Imagine that. Now let this be a lesson to you boys and girls, the terrorists took a peaceful man hostage. This should put an end to that bunk about peace begets peace. This and other tripe do not match up to reality. Of course it is possible they will release him without harming him. That still does not mean they worked a peaceful solution. Peaceful religions do not abduct members of other religions.
The Vatican has no choice but to negotiate. They don’t have an Army. If they did I would not be surprised if Pope John Paul ordered them into battle to save the archbishop.
