_______________________________________________
Islam is of course a great danger to the Catholic Church and the entire world in many respects, and so it is wise for all Catholics as well as others to learn at least the basic teachings of Islam, the basic practices of Islam, and also the fundamental goal of all Islam to impose via jihad an Islamic Caliphate over the entire world, or if not a Caliphate per se, still an all-encompassing rule over the entire world under Islam and governed by Sharia law. Moreover, no matter how uncomfortable it may be to accept and embrace the truth, one must not be taken in by ongoing propaganda efforts that pretend Islam is something other than what it really is. It is not and never has been a religion of peace even though many and perhaps most individual Muslims are peaceful people (Deo gratias). Unfortunately, there are also thousands upon thousands of Muslims who engage in all kinds of terrorism in fulfillment of their Islamic creed. They are not simply “radical Muslims” who are not practicing their faith as gullible wishful thinkers pretend to be the case. These individuals are actually the most fervent and faithful Muslims who practice their religion as required.
Now, whether you want to learn a lot or even a modest amount about Islam and the ongoing danger it is to the world, I wholeheartedly recommend the following encyclopedic-type website that contains well-written and insightful articles, investigative reports, scholarly studies, videos, pertinent data, and so on that tells it like it is regarding the truth and world-wide danger of Islam:
