British cardinal condemns 'false' religion professed by terrorists : CNS
Topics: War on TerrorA British cardinal has condemned the "false" religion of the terrorists, who murdered about 50 civilians in a series of bomb attacks July 7 in London.
He didn't condemn Islam being false - which some might be tempted to do, but the presumptive sect of the terrorists, which as a Catholic Cardinal, he has claimed competence to declare what is "true" Islam and what is "false" Islam.

(...) "The people who carried out these monstrous acts with chilling efficiency and forethought are believed to have acted in the name of religion," said the cardinal, before asking: "Who is their god?(...) "It is not the God who revealed himself to Moses and Jacob; nor the God who, in Jesus Christ, walked this earth and died and rose to save humanity; nor the God worshipped by the Muslim people, who is almighty and merciful," he said.
(...) "Who is the god of these men of hate? It is a false god, one projected from the darkest recesses of the human heart," he said in his homily.
It's a fact that "Holy War" or Jihad is a commandment of Islam. The ground just shifts to defining what form this war takes. The fundamentalists here have the history of the sword of the Prophet and the Caliphs who followed him as supporting the truth of their sect.
