In two weeks, Pope Benedict XVI will go to Turkey for a four-day visit, and will call on Muslim nations to respect the rights of religious minorities living within their borders – or as The Vatican puts, it "reciprocity,” in which Muslim demands for greater sensitivity from the West are matched by protecting Christians against extremist attacks, curbing sectarian violence and sustaining ancient Christian communities in Turkey, Iraq and throughout the Middle East.
This “reciprocity” seems out of whack to The Stiletto. Muslims immigrating to

Why Republicans Lost It On Election Day
Well, the post-mortems keep on coming and, having read a couple of dozen analyses by The Stiletto’s intellectual betters, she is sure of only one thing: This election has been as divisive for pundits as for the rest of us. Here’s the Chinese Menu, mix and match as you see fit (no matter what, you’ll still end up with indigestion):
† Bruce Bartlett: It’s the alternative media’s fault.
† William Rusher: The GOP spanking could have been worse, since Dems barely squeaked past their Republican opponents in race after race.
† Karl Rove: It’s the fault of corrupt, overconfident Republican incumbents.
† Jon Friedman: It’s Rush Limbaugh’s fault.
† The Washington Times: The Muslim vote went to the Dems,
† Linda Chavez: The Hispanic vote went to the Dems.
† Chuck Todd: It’s Bush’s fault.
† Fred Barnes: The war, corruption and failure to pass legislation on big issues, such as illegal immigration did the Republicans in.
† Robert Novak: It’s all of the above.
So now you know.

According to Erdogan, the pope said: "You know ... -

In a case reminiscent of the consequences of Afghanistani Abdul Rahman's conversion to Christianity, two Turkish men who became Christians are being tried on criminal charges of insulting "Turkishness." Hakan Tastan, 37, and Turan Topal, 46, are also accused of inciting religious hatred against Islam for allegedly trying to convert other Turks to Christianity. The men were charged under Turkey's Article 301, which has been used to bring charges against dozens of intellectuals - including prominent Armenian journalist Hrant Dink and Nobel prize-winning Turkish author Orhan Pamuk. The European Union has demanded that Turkey scrap this free-speech limiting law if ...
