Vatican City: Islam a Threat, Pope’s Adviser Says

Msgr.Georg Gänswein, Pope Benedict XVI’s secretary and close adviser,warned of the Islamization of Europe and stressed the need for the Continent’s Christian roots not to be ignored. In comments released in advance of an interview to be published today in the German weekly Süeddeutsche Magazin, he said:“Attempts to Islamize the West cannot be denied.The danger for the identity of Europe that is connected with it should not be ignored out of a wrongly understood respectfulness.”He also defended a speech Benedict gave last year linking Islam and violence,saying it was an attempt by the pope to“act against a certain naïveté.”
