So Pope Benny the Ratfinger or whatever his name is, you know, the Nazi pope, has come out with his solution for all the problems of the world. It's a little complicated, I'll just quote it:

Pope Benedict XVI weighed in Tuesday on the delicate issue of rapport between Islam and the West: He said that violence, embodied in the Muslim idea of jihad, or holy war, is contrary to reason and God's plan, while the West was so beholden to reason that Islam could not understand it.

Nonetheless, in a complex treatise delivered at the university here where he once taught, he suggested reason as a common ground for a "genuine dialogue of cultures and religions so urgently needed today."
...
But the section on Islam made up just three paragraphs of the speech, and he devoted the rest to a long examination of how Western science and philosophy had divorced themselves from faith - leading to the secularization of European society that is at the heart of Benedict's worries.
...
"The world's profoundly religious cultures see this exclusion from the divine, from the universality of reason as an attack on their most profound convictions," he said. "A reason which is deaf to the divine and which relegates religion into the realm of subcultures is incapable of entering into the dialogue of cultures."

Hmm, our problem is that the West has too much reason and the Muslims have too little. I guess he's saying that the only solution is the middle ground, Catholicism, the perfect mixture of superstition and reason? Why am I thinking of Goldilocks and the Three Bears?

I don't know if you're going to convince me on that one Benny. I don't exactly see the Swedes crashing planes into buildings or Belgians strapping bombs to their chest. Maybe, just maybe, there's a connection there you don't want to admit to? Basically, he's saying we've become too unlike the terrorists blowing shit up to understand them, so we need to become more irrational and religious so we can connect with our jihadist brethren (like they did in the Crusades).

Yeah, that's not happening. Keep working on that argument Benny.
