A Letter to Pope Benedict

To the Editor:
Pope Benedict XVI suffers from a serious case of amnesia.
I read with disgust the statement by the old man residing in Rome known to the Christian world as Pope Benedict XVI.� Apparently
he had mentioned this week in a speech that Islam and Muslims have a
tendency for violence and that Islam promotes � holy wars.�� It
is amazing how this man forgot that for 34 days the Arabs living in
Lebanon suffered for 34 days bombings by Jews using Christian made
weapons from the United States to maim, kill and injure thousands of
innocent civilians in Lebanon.� Pope Benedict�s
amnesia is blocking his brain cells from processing the images and
audio sounds coming through the ether about the tens of thousands of
Palestinian Arabs, Christians as well as Muslims crying for help from
the criminal actins by the Jewish state of Israel. The Christians of
Palestine are living in sheer poverty at the mercy of Jews armed with
guns made by Christians in Europe and the United States to deprive them
of their land, water and to subdue them into submission to their racist
policies.
It
makes me wonder where Pope Benedict has been in the last four decades
to see the bombings in Iraq, Serbia, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine against
Arabs and Muslims whose only crime that they sit on the most prized
peace of real estate the God created.� The Arabs
and the Muslims are the victims of mass murder being committed by
Christians and Jews in the name of God and the Bible, old as well as
new.� Should I remind the Pope here of the mass murders committed in the name of Jesus for decades by the Crusades.� Pope Benedict should stick to doing what he and the Vatican does well.� Collect donations and accumulate wealth and protect buildings in the Holy Land that they can use to raise even more money.� This world of ours has no shame and neither does Pope Benedict.
