Nominally Roman Catholic, according to the CIA Factbook. In real life they're about as religious as most Western Europeans, if a good deal more sensible.
Roman Catholic 10.3%, Protestant (includes Czech Brethren and Hussite) 0.8%, other and unspecified 54.6%, none 34.2% (2011 census)

The Telegraph is too generous. The One and his DHS consider those not aligned with him and his domestic agenda to be the 'enemy'. All that other stuff is just a nuisance undeserving of his attention and scorn.

The Telegram calls the empty suit out on this one.
Amazing we actually have some of the fawning propagandists criticizing the one (I won't capitalize that, there is only one ONE and he died for our sins two thousand years ago).

Lulled? He campaigned on it. If barry hadn't remembered kerry's advice to check the boats and pulled #2 off of the poop deck himself, I think it would be embarassingly noteworthy.

It is too soon to be absolutely sure the attacks were motivated by jihadist ideology
Oh yeah right. And the Feds are allocating precious resources on the possibility this may have been a Tax revolt or maybe even a Eco-terrorism. You know just to be absolutely sure. Whata Maroon.
As Independence Day celebrations were winding down Tuesday night, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu made a guest appearance on Channel 2s left-wing satire show Eretz Nehederet. One of the final questions that the shows host Eyal Kitzis asked the premier was how he would like to be remembered after he leaves office.
Netanyahu thought a moment and said, Id like to be remembered as the leader who preserved Israels security.
On the face of it, Netanyahus stated aspiration might seem dull. In a year hell be the longest-serving prime minister in the states history, and all he wants is to preserve our national security? Why is he aiming so low? And yet, the studio audience reacted to Netanyahus modest goal with a thunderclap of applause.
After pausing to gather his thoughts, a clearly befuddled Kitzis mumbled something along the lines of, Well, if you manage to make peace as well, we wouldnt object. The audience was silent.
The disparity between the audiences exultation and Kitziss shocked disappointment at Netanyahus answer exposed yet again the yawning gap between the mainstream Israeli view of the world, and that shared by members of our elite class.
The Israeli public gave our elites the opportunity to try out their peace fantasies in the 1990s. We gave their peace a chance and got repaid with massive terror and international isolation.
We are not interested in repeating the experience.
We will be nice to leftists, if they are polite. We might even watch their shows, if theres nothing else on or they are mildly entertaining. But we wont listen to them anymore.
This is why US President Barack Obamas visit last month had no impact on public opinion or government policy.
Obama came, hugged Netanyahu and showered us with love just like Bill Clinton did back in the roaring 90s. He praised us to high heaven and told us he has our back. And then he told us we should force our leaders to give Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria to our sworn enemies even as they teach their children to aspire to kill our children.
And we smiled and wished him a pleasant flight home.
This is an excellent essay touching on many of the societal hot buttons. I couldn't think of anything that R'burgers would question when reading about the inter-locking of socialism, demographics, in'tl relations and security.
