Pope Benedict has told Turks that freedom of religion must be granted to all believers in order to secure their loyalty to society. And Turkeys don’t vote for Christmas (not a turkish pun like ‘killing an arab’ by the cure wasn’t a racist song). Has the Pope read Karl Marx? not for some time. What kind of security and loyalty did religion bring to ireland? people politicians horses, the armed security forces. Religion is the opium of the people.
