Golly. I thought they just wanted to rip out the communion rails and turn the altars around.

Egyptian Scholars Say the Darnedest Things

The Middle East Media Research Institute translates an interview Saudi television carried with Egyptian historian Zaynab Abd Al-Aziz:

Abd Al-Aziz: The decision to impose one religion over the entire world was made in the Second Vatican Council in 1965.

Host: Huh?

Abd Al-Aziz: Yes. A long time ago.

Host: They decided to Christianize the world?

Abd Al-Aziz: Yes. The decisions of the 1965 Vatican Council included, first of all, absolving the Jews of the blood of Christ. This decision is well known and was the basis for the recognition of the occupying Zionist entity--Israel. The second decision was to eradicate the left in the eighties. I believe we've all witnessed this. The third decision was to eradicate Islam, so that the world would be Christianized by the third millennium.

Because the world was not "Christianized" by 2000, Abd Al-Aziz explains, "the World Council of Churches assigned this mission to the US in January 2001. . . . What did the US do? It fabricated the show of . . . is it September 9 or 11?"

Are we certain they weren't interviewing Howard Dean or Oprah?
