Pope Benedict

Is this a reference to Islam ? It sure seems like it to me.

I wonder if a "Fatwa" will be issued against the Pope calling for his death ?

At Synod With Mideast Bishops, Pope Condemns Terror Ideologies

Pope Benedict XVI (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/b/benedict_xvi/index.html?inline=nyt-per) opened a two-week synod of Catholic bishops from the Middle East on Monday by condemning terrorist ideologies carried out in “God’s name.” In off-the-cuff remarks to the bishops and other religious leaders who convened for the synod, the pope said that these acts of violence have “nothing to do with God and instead everything to do with false gods that must be exposed.”

Interesting.

I recently heard the so called Muslim faith as practiced by the extremist referred to as a political movement and not a religion. In that light, I think the Pontiff's statement is inline and correct.

That is a pretty significant comment.
The mad dogs of islam will be barking tonight.
