Woe to naive to ignore the attempts of Islamization of Europe! The intervention of Pope Ratzinger in Regensburg on Islam has been "prophetic." Word of Don Georg Gaenswein, secretary of Pope Benedict XVI, who in an interview with the all-Ratzinger's biographer Peter Seewald raised the alarm against Muslim expansion. "Attempts to Islamize the West can not be denied - the magazine says Don George's Sueddeutsche Zeitung of Munich Monaco - a false respect and must not ignore the threats posed to Europe's identity." According to the prelate, which in Italy is often forgotten that he was a lecturer in pontifical universities, and which faithfully reflects the ideas of the pope, "the Catholic side sees very clearly (this danger) and it tells you." The speech Regensburg, he adds, "should serve to counter a certain naivete."
in Regensburg in September 2006 Pope Ratzinger raised a storm because international opened his speech with a quotation from a medieval Byzantine emperor, according to which Muhammad had not brought anything "good and humane" because it called for spreading the faith by the sword. Ratzinger delivered the summons without distance and it took the Vatican apologized repeatedly and updated edition of the speech to re-establish normal relations with the Islamic world. In many environments, however, liked the speech. Kissinger has confessed to the Republic of appreciating it a lot.
Don Georg points out that there is no "one" Islam and even a 'application challenging and binding on all Muslims. " Under the concept of Islam, he explains, there are many currents, even among their enemies, who come "to refer to extremists in their action to the Koran and take the field with a gun." In any case, the Holy See seeks to weave contacts and talks through the Council for Interreligious Dialogue.
The interview describes the main agenda of Benedict XVI: to strengthen the faith, raise the "question God, the comparison with the different forms of relativism, dialogue with Islam, the strengthening of Christian identity. "Europe can not live if you cut its Christian roots, because it removes the soul" .
