Well, not quite. But this year he has emerged as a far more compelling and complex figure than anyone had imagined. And much of that has to do with his willingness to confront what some people feel is today's equivalent of the communist scourge--the threat of Islamic violence. The topic is extraordinarily fraught. There are, after all, a billion or so nonviolent Muslims on the globe, the Roman Catholic Church's own record in the religious-mayhem department is hardly pristine, and even the most naive of observers understands that the Vicar of Christ might harbor an institutional...
Islam played a particular role--as both a threat and a model--in the drama that probably lies closest to Benedict's heart: the secularization of Christian Europe. In the same 1996 book, he wrote that "the Islamic soul reawakened" in reaction to the erosion of the West's moral stature during the 1960s. Ratzinger paraphrased that soul's new song: "We know who we are; our religion is holding its ground; you don't have one any longer.

Islam is already a European religion...
...aerial attack to complement Dawson’s irrepressible running. In Yale’s season-opening loss to San Diego, the Toreros’ mobile quarterback, Josh Johnson, torched the Bulldogs defense for five touchdowns in a 43-17 rout. O’Hagan is a two-way threat cut from a similar cloth, able to stand and deliver like Princeton senior Jeff Terrell did in the Tigers’ comeback win in New Haven last Saturday or make plays with his feet, scrambling to stay alive and find the inevitable holes in the Bulldogs’ young secondary...

The sophomore is averaging just under 142 yards per game and 4.9 yards per carry.But the Crimson counters with a seasoned threat in the form of senior tailback Clifton Dawson, who last week broke the all-time Ivy League rushing record.Although the Harvard back is only averaging 128.1 yards a game, his yards per carry average of 5.4 bests that of McLeod.Both offensive lines have impressed.The squads are responsible for the strong...
