Another reminder from the past how deadly Islam is if left unchecked.
BBC News - Pope canonises 800 Italian Ottoman victims of Otranto

Quote:
They were beheaded in the southern Italian town of Otranto after refusing to convert to Islam.

Their names are unknown, apart from one man, Antonio Primaldo.

Within two months of taking office, Pope Francis has proclaimed more saints than any of his predecessors.

This happened in 1480. What do you think the Catholic Church was up to around that time?

Signed,

A Catholic totally embarrassed by this thread

1480? Really? Just a reminder, most religions have committed atrocities in their past.

Exactly and precisely the point.

How about the tens of thousands of Jews murdered during the Catholic Crusades?

They weren't slaughtering people for not converting to Catholicism.

For crying out loud, quit jumping ugly with the Catholics. Christians are in peril in Muslim countries...The Mass Exodus of Christians from the Muslim World :: Middle East Forum

Anything the pope wants to do to remind the world Islam is not a sane and tolerant religion is fine by me.
