Islam is “fundamentally a form of government" rather than a religion because when a state finds itself with a majority population of Muslims they have a duty to submit the whole population to Sharia law, a controversial cardinal has said.
In a telephone interview with David Gibson of the Religion News Service, Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke said that individual Muslims “are lovely people” and can speak “in a very peaceful manner about questions of religion”
“But my point is this," the Rome-based US cardinal asserted, "When they become a majority in any country then they have the religious obligation to govern that country. If that’s what the citizens of a nation want, well, then, they should just allow this to go on. But if that’s not what they want, then they have to find a way to deal with it.” » | Sean Smith | Friday, July 22, 2016
