Bishop Rino Fisichella of Rome expressed his concern for Christian minorities in Muslim countries, most notably the disparity between Muslim violence towards Christians:
In a reference to the murder on 5 February of an Italian priest, Andrea Santoro, in Turkey, allegedly killed by a Muslim radical, Fisichella also noted that, ‘it is impossible to put on the same level a cartoon and the murder of a priest.’
Good point. Where are all the Christian protests in the West? If a Christian had assassinated a Muslim imam, would the response of the radical Muslims be a simple shrug?
This has little to do with Muslims vs. Christians. It has more to do with the concept of religious freedom, and how that freedom is being squelched in some parts of the globe.
