bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful === News Update === Pope's Nazi past Benedict XVI former Hitler Youth member http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Video/050419/n_pope_nazipast_050419.300w.jpg Updated: 5:46 p.m. ET April 20, 2005 As John Paul II's right hand man, in charge of enforcing the conservative papal policy, Cardinal Ratzinger earned an unfortunate nickname from his more progressive peers: the "Panzer Cardinal". Like the tank. Pope Benedict XVI, now 78, had his own brush with warfare as a young boy growing up in Nazi Germany. * At age, 14 membership in Germany's "Hitler Youth" became mandatory. So Joseph Ratzinger enrolled * He managed to get out early so he could study for the priesthood. * Two years later, when he was 16, Ratzinger was drafted again by the German Army. * Ratzinger worked as a helper in an anti-aircraft briagde. * In 1945, he was put through basic training and stationed near his hometown in Bavaria. * When Allied forces advanced, he deserted the German army — risking death by that act alone. * After he escaped, Ratzinger was captured by American soldiers and spent the remainder of the war in a POW camp. source: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7576505/ Related News: 'Such insults are as old as Islam' "It is difficult to see anything positive coming from these comments.

Today, Moslems suffer the brunt of sick jokes and racist remarks, as well as violent actions. The general public in the U.S. is becoming much better at a trait in which it leads the world: xenophobia. A day doesn't go by that is free of anti-Moslem statements, whether in a joke or in a speech of a politician. http://www.albasrah.net/pages/mod.php? mod=art&lapage=../en_articles_2006/0906/lagauche_160906.htm The unmistakable whiff of Christian triumphalism This was no casual slip. Beneath his scholarly rhetoric, the Pope's logic seemed to be that Islam is dangerous and godless. John Paul II's pontificate was largely defined by his relationship with a global conflict between west and east. Last Tuesday evening, in a badly judged speech before a home crowd of Bavarian academics, Benedict XVI may well have set the parameters of his own period as Pope, pitching himself into a debate over Islam that has prompted outrage throughout the Muslim world. http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1873712,00.html Read the Pope's speech [Pdf] http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/15_09_06_pope.pdf Faith, Reason and Infallibility: Memory failures and Odd reflections A lecture by Pope Benedict XVI entitled Faith, Reason and the University: Memories and Reflections at the University of Regensburg on Tuesday 12 September 2006 has caused another uproar among Muslims worldwide and the tension seems set to increase. http://www.occri.org.uk/Articles/PopeBenedict.htm === -muslim voice- ______________________________________ BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ajaklah teman dan saudara anda bergabung ke milis Media Dakwah.
