Daily Express Report; says: 'Pope Benedict XVI’s private secretary has warned of the 'Islamisation' of Europe and demanded that the Continent’s Christian roots not to be ignored. "Attempts to Islamise the west cannot be denied," Monsignor Georg Gaenswein was quoted as saying in a copy of the weekly Sueddeutsche Magazine published today."The danger for the identity of Europe that is connected with it should not be ignored out of a wrongly understood respectfulness," the magazine quoted him as saying. Gaenswein also defended a speech Pope Benedict gave in Regensburg, Germany, last year linking Islam and violence, saying it was an attempt by the Pontiff to "act against a certain naivety."In the interview with the respected German weekly, Gaenswein confirmed that the Pope wrote his own speeches and that the remarks had not been edited. He said: "I believe that the speech from Regensburg, as it was held, is prophetic."Asked if the idea of a serious dialogue with Islam that exists in the real world was naive, given that it was a religion where human rights were trampled under foot, he said: "Attempts to Islamise the West cannot be denied."The danger for the identity of Europe that is connected with it should not be ignored out of a wrongly understood respectfulness. "The Catholic side is clearly aware of this and also says so. Particularly the speech from Regensburg should work against this wrongly understood respectfulness."It has to be said that there is no such thing as Islam and it does not have a voice that is obligatory and binding to all Muslims.
