A couple of weeks ago, leaders of 47 nations met in Washington, USA, for a “Nuclear Security Summit”.

They were greeted by President Obama.

 “If,” he said, “Terrorist networks such as al Qaeda ever succeeded in acquiring the materials for a nuclear weapon, they would surely use it. In short, it is increasingly clear that the danger of nuclear terrorism is one of the greatest threats to global security . . . .”

One wonders why he would say that.

Terrorists are achieving exactly what they want already without nuclear weapons.

Conventional explosives used by persons sufficiently morally bankrupt and fanatical can keep the rest of the world mentally at their mercy.

Meanwhile the USA and Australia are achieving the opposite of what they wish to achieve by their current policies.

President Obama, talker about justice and peace, has, since becoming president , increased the number of US troops in Afghanistan by 200 percent (from 30,000 to 90,000)

The result of which has been to alter the mentality of every Muslim in the world from hating the US and its allies a lot, to hating them (us) a lot more.

Every extra Western invader on Middle Eastern soil makes every Muslim you meet day by day more likely to kill you.

Yet the world’s Muslims have something more frightening on their minds than the West’s ineffectual invasion attempts.

It is this: THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO DIE IN SUICIDE BOMBINGS ARE MUSLIMS.

The hatred and in-fighting within Muslim societies is horrible to contemplate.

The biggest hope for Muslims in today’s world is that more and more Muslims will turn to Christianity.

You hear plenty about Christians turning Muslim. You hear less about those doing the opposite. But there are a lot of them.

For all kinds of reasons they receive little publicity.

You will not find them in the “free” press/radio/TV of Western nations.

You can find plenty on the internet by googling for about 30 seconds.

The Pope has the potential of doing more for future world peace than does Mr Obama or any other military agent. (more about that tomorrow)

Those seeking to undermine the Pope and the Catholic Church are mankind’s worst enemies
