But the Pope's peremptory linking of Islam and violence is irrational and irresponsible, especially when such a wildly inaccurate judgment comes from somebody whose religion has historically caused more extensive and brutal suffering than Islam ever has. Husam Dughman Toronto It is strange to find the term reason in a religious debate, especially when there is no mention of the single most important human value that defines what we really want and need and that allows everything else to fall into place...

Even banishment wasn't safe: in 1976, Pinochet henchmen assassinated former Chilean ambassador and Pinochet...
