Vatican refuses to "crucify" terrorists

[Mailman]

I see the fools in the vatican have refused to criticise Palestinian acts of terrorism...thus granting them legitimacy.

Pitty really...the Vatican had a golden opportunity to drag itself in to the 21st century and make a definate stance against terrorism and what do they do...they criticise Israel and completely avoid criticising Palistinian terrorists.

Oh well...par for the course I guess.

Did they ever critisise the IRA?

[Not So Wise]

Intelligent of them. One religion in the mix is bad enough, two is 100 times worse, 3 would be the end of the world. What goes on over there has nothing to do with the vatican and anything they say will be used against them by somebody.

So good on them for keeping their mouths shut, religions should stay out of politics, now if islam would do the same.

[Mailman]

The problem is...they havent kept their mouths shut.

They have pointed blamed Isreal in how they worded their reply.

I mean come on...lets be fair here...if the Vatican is going to leave Isreal out because of its past actions then why did they include Egypt there which has a history of supporting terrorism in the region (and has in fact attempted to invade Israel in the past only to have their arses handed to them big time).

terrorism

this terrorism thing is a joke
Jews, Americans (civil war), Britons have practicised terrorism at various stages of their history.
without speaking of CIA-sponsored contras in honduras.
