Cardinal Pell offends Muslims - again
 Cardinal George Pell has declared yet again Islam is more warlike than Christianity, this time to a US Catholic newspaper. The Catholic Archbishop of Sydney told the National Catholic Reporter Australia hadn't been affected much by Islamic threat following the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US, but this could change depending "on how many terrorist attacks" Muslim fundamentalists could "bring off successfully". In the interview conducted in Rome with NCR reporter John L Allen, Dr Pell said "the million-dollar question" was whether intolerance was a modern distortion of Islam or arose out of internal logic. "It's difficult to find periods of tolerance in Islam," Australia's top Catholic was quoted as saying. "I'm not saying that they're not there, but a good deal of what is asserted is mythical." It is the second time in a month that Dr Pell has made controversial remarks about Islam.
