The Francis effect in the Catholic Bulletin of a parish in Texas noting the observance Ramadan

Prof. Leonard Wessell Thanks for your comment.

The arrival of Ramadan Laylat ul-Qadr means the night of decree. It is the night in which Muhammad said he received the revelation of the Quran, and proclaimed himself 'Prophet and Messenger' of Allah .

News fact: The religious group most persecuted in world today is that of Christians. The persecutors by far are Muslims. Indeed, a German researcher, Rita Beuer, has shown that Christians are universally persecuted in lands with a Muslim majority. The inclusion of an Islamic holiday of such importance is an (inadvertent) act of dhimitude, i.e., acknowledging the supremacy of Islam. In other words, Christians should acknowledge the "supremacy" or "domniance" of Islam. A persecuting Muslim would interpret such an inclusion as an act of submission to Allah. The pastor who made the bulletin unintentional has material contributed to the persecution of Christians.
