Italian minister to wear Muhammad cartoon T-shirt

15 February 2006 01:38

A prominent Italian government figure planned on Wednesday to wear a T-shirt sporting cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that have sparked violent reactions from Muslims around the world.

Reforms Minister Roberto Calderoli denied that the T-shirts are meant to provoke, but said there is no point in promoting dialogue with Muslim extremists.

[...]

"It is time to put an end to this tale that we need dialogue with these people," he added.

I will see you, in a little while, in a place where no shadows fall.

There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness
of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against
powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than
the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against
this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting,
in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one
knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only
that it is always born in pain.

Rest in peace, Andreas.
