The new site also has hard-hitting commentary articles, but will focus on the podcast, and podcast related features, while The Forge will stay more focused on written editorial, as it has always done.

Coexistence With Islam Depends on What Islam Means

The Holy Father has asked for increasing Christian-Muslim dialogue. In the past he has also said that 'Christians and muslims can live together and be friends". Well that's true. But "Muslims" aren't the problem. Historically Islam is—fundamentalist Islam especially.
