Cardinal Duka warns against dangers of Islam

Cardinal Dominik Duka has warned against underestimating the danger of Islam and an open door policy for refugees from the Islamic world. The internet news site Novinky.cz says in this connection that the question of whether Islam presents a danger to Europe and European values continues to divide the Czech Catholic community. In the wake of the murder of Catholic priest Jacques Hamel, Cardinal Duka wrote an article in which he says the act should serve as a memento to those who underestimate the danger of Islam and attribute terrorist acts to frustrated or mentally deranged individuals. The Catholic weekly failed to print the article, which then appeared on the Cardinal’s blog, and Catholic priest Tomas Halík openly criticized Duka for failing to make a distinction between Islam and Jihadist terrorists.
