Bishop: Islam Expanding Conquests

VATICAN CITY (AP) - Islam is driving into predominantly Christian countries
in a new campaign of expansion and conquest, a bishop at a Vatican synod
claimed Wednesday in a warning to his European colleagues.

Giuseppe Germano Bernardini, archbishop of Izmir in Turkey, spoke at a synod
of European bishops on what he said was Islam's growing challenge to
Christianity, even on its home ground.

``The 'domination' has already started with petrodollars, used not to create
jobs in poor countries in North Africa and the Middle East, but to build
mosques and cultural centers in Christian countries ... including Rome,
center of Christianity,'' Bernardini declared.

``Who cannot see in this a clear program of expansion and reconquest?'' he
asked.

The dire tone of his warning contrasted with repeated overtures to the
Islamic world by Pope John Paul II, whose comments on Islam frequently stress
the values it shares with Christianity.

The archbishop was one of several at the synod to express frustration in
dealing with the Islamic world, however. Others in the weeklong session have
spoken of the need for cooperation between Muslims and Christians.

Bernardini suggested the church call a synod specifically on the theme of
Islam in predominantly Christian countries.

As a first, practical step, he said, Catholics must see to it that none of
their churches are ceded to Muslims for practice of their faith.

The prohibition in sharia (Islamic law) on usury, i.e. charging interest to
believers, would be a very large draw to disillusioned European (and
American) Christians if it were to be used as a drawing card...

Missions Fest in Vancouver is billed as North America's largest missionary
meet. It is controlled by a narrow group of Protestants which even keeps out
other Protestants or quasi-Protestant denominations which it regards as
"cults" such as Christian Scientists, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses. I have
initiated a complaint/law suit against the Mfest Board for religious
discrimination which is explicitly proscribed by the Canadian Charter of
Rights and Freedoms section of the Constitution. If I am successful (as I
expect to be) then Roman Catholics AND Muslims can have exhibit booths at
Mfest 2000 to tell us what a "Godly Nation" is like from their perspectives.
So everyone can go on a crusade into "Deepest, Darkest Vancouver".

Dear Vancouver Sun: Preston Manning, Canadian Reform Party Leader and
Leader
of the Official Opposition is quoted as saying that he is "thankful for
Canada's Christian Heritage". But Manning has a long record as a
sociopathic
liar, a role for which his background as a "churchocrat" admirably
qualifies
him. Just ask him to articulate what a culture/society/nation today would
be
like if it were living the "lifestyle" of that "Christian Heritage". The
CHP
(Christian Heritage Party) doesn't know. Manning isn't qualified to polish
boots in Canada today, let alone lead the Reform Party.
