Not quite, but
the barbarity is reminiscent of days of yore;
The Vatican is urging Muslim leaders to denounce the "barbarity" of
the Islamic State's attacks against Christians and other minorities in
Iraq, saying their credibility is on the line.
The Vatican's
Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, the main Vatican office
that deals with the Muslim world, said Tuesday that the forced
expulsions and massacres of Christians and minority Yazidis shamed
humanity and couldn't be justified by any religion.
The office
said the "unspeakable criminal acts" — the beheading, crucifying and
hanging of bodies in public places, the "barbaric practice of
infibulation," the abduction of women and girls as spoils of war, and
the destruction of Christian religious symbols — required a "clear and
courageous stance on the part of religious leaders, especially Muslims."
The
President of the United States was putting, and couldn't be bothered to comment.
