Future doesn't belong to 'aggressive' Islam: bishop
AMSTERDAM — Islam won't dominate the future because it is too aggressive, Archbishop Martinus Muskens of Breda has claimed. In the quarterly magazine of Radboud University in Nijmegen, the Roman Catholic bishop writes: "I saw early on that there was a lot of aggression in there (Islam)". Islam, he said, must contemplate on the violent aspects of its tradition. The bishop feels that there is currently too much emphasis on Islam in interfaith dialogue. "We are too obsessed by it," Muskens states.
