In response to Muslims recently killing two Catholic priests in Turkey and Nigeria, the Vatican is calling on Muslim countries to be more tolerant of Christian minorities, in other words, practice what you preach.
Pope Benedict XVI stated this week that peace can only be assured by "respect for the religious convictions and practices of others, in a reciprocal way in all societies."
Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Vatican Secretary of State: "If we tell our people they have no right to offend, we have to tell the others they have no right to destroy us."
Archbishop Giovanni Lajolo, Vatican Foreign Minister, stated Christian minorities should be afforded the same rights that Muslims enjoy in Western countries: "We must always stress our demand for reciprocity in political contacts with authorities in Islamic countries and, even more, in cultural contacts."
Bishop Rino Fisichella, Rector of the Pontifical Lateran University: "Let's drop this diplomatic silence...We should put pressure on international organisations to make the societies and states in majority Muslim countries face up to their responsibilities."
Monsignor Velasio De Paolis, Secretary of the Vatican's Supreme Court: "Enough now with this turning the other cheek! It's our duty to protect ourselves."
Better to be late to the game, than never show up to play.

I wonder if one or view persons are bad cops,..will all the corps are bad too?....In this case you will only say that the person himself is bad, not his title or his corps....It goes the same in Nigeria and Turkey...It was not the religion you should blame of...But the person who did the killing..Use your head to think,not your racism..
Account, your statement would make sense if the only recent instance of Islamic violence was the killing of the two Catholic priests. However, all over the world, every day, senseless violence intentionally committed against innocent persons is done in the name of Islam. So, it's really not a matter of condemning an entire group based on just two bad individuals. It's much closer to condemning an entire group because of the entire group.
Gee, only 12,231 (as of today) deadly terrorist attacks committed by Muslims in the name of Islam documented sine 9/11. Clearly a case of condemning the group because of just two individuals.
Two questions: (1) can you name a significant conflict in the entire world that doesn't involve Muslims? (2) can you find a single instance of Christians walking into a Mosque and killing a peaceful Imam or two?
