Pope Francis is right: if the mainstream Muslim leaders do not denounce the
persecution of Christians and other non-Muslims in Iraq and elsewhere they
will lose their credibility. Meaning that people should no longer imagine
that even mainstream "moderate" Muslims anywhere do not support Islamist
Terrorism or can be trusted to bargain in good faith. Have the scales
dropped from the Pope's eyes?
It's a pleasant surprise that the Pope/Vatican would make such a statement
condemning the persecution of Christians in Muslim countries. It has been
evident in recent years that the leadership of the major Christian churches
have been motivated by secular Politically Correct concerns and values at
least much as by Christian doctrine and values. Thus Christians were always
regarded as the imperialist oppressors and Muslims as the oppressed, so it
was un-PC to ever take the part of Christians over Muslims lest you be
denounced as racist and imperialist.
