Islamic Appeasement by Papal Proxy

Can Pope Francis prevent a holy war? asks Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Garry Wills in an opinion piece in the March 10 Dominion Post.  Wills’ exercise in Islamic appeasement by papal proxy neglects to point out that Pope Francis’ outreach to the Muslim world was met with increasing rates of Christian slaughter, rape, forced conversion, slavery, discrimination and expulsion. The pope should take a lesson from Egypt's President el-Sisi. His heroic call for Islam’s reformation at Al-Azhar University could be a lot more effective than the pope’s, for the simple reason that he has, to paraphrase Stalin, more divisions.
