Targeting Muslims
In the state of Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany (LifeSiteNews.com, Jan. 3), Muslims who request citizenship in Germany are given a lengthy interrogation. Muslims must affirm “gay” rights, women’s equality, topless beaches, etc. If they fail the test, bye-bye citizenship.
Is this some left-wing loyalty oath? No, it’s a centrist loyalty oath. Brigitte Lösch, a leading member of the left-wing Green Party in the Baden-Württemberg parliament, has called for the government to drop the loyalty oath. (If you’re a Catholic and want to have citizenship in Germany, you’re not given a loyalty oath.)
The Netherlands is reportedly considering the same kind of loyalty oath.
The Catholics in Germany and the Netherlands are harmless; they’ve given up on “gay” rights, unisex and abortion, and topless beaches long ago. But the Muslims: They’re a real threat to the libertarian order.

It is time for the Catholic faithful to question the Church's interreligious efforts vis-à-vis Islam, with respect to its goals and choice of dialogue partners.
Africa is “at once beautiful and hideous, full of the most innocent love and the most unadulterated hatred, captivating at one moment and horrifying the next.”
