Telegraph Blogs - Holy Smoke - Pope’s veiled attack on Muslim countries, by Damian Thopson

Pope Benedict XVI has made a coded but fierce attack on Muslim nations where Christians are treated as second-class citizens and Muslims are forbidden on pain of death to convert to Christianity.

In a speech yesterday, the Pope defended “religious liberty”, which he said “includes the right to change religion, which should be guaranteed not only legally but in practice”. He also said that “all authentically religious traditions must be allowed to manifest their identity publicly, free from any pressure to hide or disguise it”.

Make no mistake about it: this Pope is deeply worried about the Islamisation of Europe, and the West’s supine attitude towards the persecution of Christianity by its Muslim allies.
