Cardinal Dolan finally makes sense: Comparing ISIS to Christian terrorists is an ‘accurate’ analogy

Cardinal Dolan, one of the most conservative and outspoken Catholic leaders in the U.S., on Tuesday echoed President Barack Obama by drawing a “parallel” between ISIS and Christian terrorists.

-snip-

“These extremist do not represent genuine Islamic thought,” Dolan told CNN host Chris Cuomo on Tuesday. “Even the majority of temperate, peace-loving Muslims would say, ‘I’m afraid they have a particular strand of erroneous Islam.’ But I do think they are. They are distorting it.”

“You know the parallel I’ve drawn?” he continued. “And enough people have been kind enough to tell me they think the analogy is accurate. Remember 30-35 years ago with the IRA in Ireland? The IRA claimed to be Catholic. And they were baptized, they had a Catholic identity. What they were doing was a perversion of everything the church stood for.”

“The analogy I think is somewhat accurate. These are not pure — these are not real Muslims.”

Much of his madness comes from that little black book he references so often.

If not for the fact that we are both tinkerers who make many of our toys and we're neighbors we'd not spend any time together at all. I wouldn't know him except by name in that case.
I feel sorry for people who hate so easily on some one because it says so in their bible, their interpretation that of it that is. I don't do bible so I'm not sure what it teaches but from what I've heard religious people say for an excuse of what they're doing I won't be doing the bible in the future either. No use for hate and discontent

We don't spend much time together nowadays, in fact ever since the black man had the audacity to be elected to be president of this country
