It would make more sense for someone that is not Christian to ask for a cross to be removed in their room, instead of removing all of the crosses. If they are going to remove the crosses, why not ban hijab and other forms of religious expression?
Here is my point. Censoring religion in the name of religious diversity makes no sense.
the muslim religion does not deserve respect.
it is a false religion and responsible for the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Catholics.
let the muslim go to a muslim country for medical help.
where is the backbone....the courage of the Catholic today?
the problem with the crazy muslim is they want the world to kiss their rumps.
I say send the muslim to a muslim country.
as lady macbeth said, 'OUT damned spot!'
It makes no sense at all to remove all crosses; basically that says that once again, Christianity can be expected to take a back seat to others, and of all things, Islam!! It is censoring religious freedom. Why not just remove the crosses in particular rooms? Mary is, of course, Mother of all and mediatrix of God's graces. I just wonder what Jesus thinks when He sees Himself being removed. . .God help us!!!
I believe all people should be respected, however, I am offended and I find it difficult to believe that our Blessed Mother would be pleased to be elevated over her son in such a way. Would our faith be so repected in a Muslim country that a crucifix would be hung on the wall for our benefit? I think not. Our job is to evangilize isn't it. How better than to witness the image of His sacraficial for all of us. May Almighty God, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, have Mercy on us all.
A. It's not religious censure at all! It's removing religion from a state facility, a state that also maintains its SECULARISM. As such they never should never have been mandatorarily displayed before.
B. All world religions have had adherents who have killed in the name of that religion. (Ex. The Irish Troubles, Catholic against Protestant.) Therefore let's not get started on Islam.
C. The hijab (or veil)was initially only a means of showing modesty. It is also not exclusively Islamic as at certain points during the middle ages Venician women were required to where a veil. It later also took on cultural overtones, and most recently has become used as a symbol against western hedonism, and the maintainence of an identity that is not completely West-Christian.
Why cave in to muslim demands in a European nation that is GIVING them free medical care?
Why are muslims getting all these favors?
IF YOU DONT LIKE IT GET THE HELL OUT AND GO BACK TO THE MIDDLE EAST AND SEE THE MOON CRESCENT!!
Europe is insane to surrender to all these islamic demands.
Muslims should not even be in Europe in any numbers.
I want to know when muslim hospitals in the middle east will install crosses to 'ease' the sensitivities of its Christian patients.
I forgot again, THERE ARE NO CHRISTIANS IN ISLAMIC NATIONS AS ALL OTHER FAITHS ARE OUTLAWED!!!
This is so foolish on behalf of these spineless Europeans it has ruined my day.
Another piece of evidence Europe surrendering its Christian identity to these desert roaches who bring nothing, but demand everything from the host nation.
I WILL start on the muslims.
You are very wrong.
Islam is the ONLY group (I will never call it a religion as it is a political cult posing as a religion) today WAGING WAR ON THE ENTIRE PLANET!
Are the Baptists, Catholics, Lutherans, Buddhists, or even atheists today bombing, beheading, raping, enslaving, and ransoming others for forced conversion?
NO!!!
It is the muslims commiting all these acts of violence and degradation against humanity TODAY AND EVERYDAY FOR 1400 YEARS so keep your European, multiculturalism, politically correct poison to yourself.
You know nothing of history or reality.
The veil is and has been used in Europe, but a woman could remove it at anytime AND NOT BE BEATEN OR BEHEADED as in a muslim society.
It was mostly used as a barrier against the strong sunlight while working in farms or vineyards.
The veil is used in isalmic nations as a form of submission and control over women.
Did you not know that reality?
If you love islam and muslims so much I would strongly suggest you move there for some months and come back later and tell me what is what regarding islam.
You are pathetic.
Somebody out there please tell me what are the muslims doing to PLEASE Europe?
If pleasing involves mass raping of European women, burning trains, buses, cars for every alleged insult against islam, turning towns and cities in crime ridden, drug infested ghettos, abusing the welfare and public aid systems, threatening European schoolchildren, attacking school teachers, and conducting mass protests in the major cities threatening death and bombings against Europeans, well than the muslims are doing marvelous job.
I majored on middle eastern history in college. What are your credentials? No seriously, what are your credentials? What have you read that backs up your ignorant and racist perception of the middle east? Ok, so you concede that you have no way to back up your statements, yet you call me an idiot. Hypocrite much?
I went to Istanbul; for a city who's religion is Islam, I didn't see too many veils. It was pretty westernized, showing that Islam and the west can feasibly get along.
All this screaming blood only alienates Muslims, and makes it harder to come to a consensus.
“The holy word of God is on everyone’s lips… but …we see almost everyone presenting their own versions of God’s word, with the sole purpose of using religion as a pretext for making others think as they do.”
Baruch de Spinoza
Maybe all this fighting in Iraq is different groups struggling for power while using religious justification.
PS My neighbor just got back from Iraq.
