More BS from the Pope…
Now why would the Pope not expect Christians in Iraq to be persecuted, when Muslims in Iraq blow up other Muslims; hell, they even blow themselves up! If they kill each other, why would they spare Catholics?
The Pope further believes that lack of religious freedom threatens world security and peace??? No, wrong again, it is religion itself which threatens world security and peace. Throughout history, more people have been killed in the name of God than for all other reasons combined; and it isn’t even close! TGO

VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI says Christians are the religious group that suffers most from persecution.
He expresses his worry in the Vatican’s annual World Peace Day message for the new year. He laments that this year was again marked by “terrible acts of violence and religious intolerance.”
Benedict said he is especially thinking of Christians in Iraq, where an attack on a Catholic cathedral in Baghdad in October killed two priests and more than 50 other faithful.
The Vatican on Thursday released the message, in which the pope equates lack of religious freedom with threats to world security and peace.
Benedict also decries what he calls “sophisticated forms of hostility to religion,” including rejection of religious symbols at times in some Western countries.
