Speaking in public the forum’s organizers insist that the terrorist attacks of last Sept. 11, the reason why the forum has come here this year, had ‘nothing to do with either Arabs or Islam.’ In private, however, they claim that a link exists and must be studied so that it could be broken. That claim is backed by a number of star speakers in this year’s forum. Professor Samuel Huntington who coined the phrase ‘clash of civilizations’ will be on at least two panels to argue his thesis. Also present will be a number of other Western ‘Islamologists’, like Professor John Esposito who believes that Islam can still be absorbed into the amorphous ‘universal civilization’.

The forum has also revived an idea that was first launched by the late King Hassan of Morocco in conjunction with the UNESCO in 1998. The idea was to create a kind of ‘united nations of major religions’ with an organ like the Security Council whose task would be to prevent religion from being used for militant political purposes. The 1998 initiative ended with a one-day seminar in Rabat. This time the forum hopes it could inspire a more lasting enterprise. The idea will be discussed by a number of religious figures from the main monotheistic faiths. Several Vatican grandees including the Nigerian-born Cardinal Arinze, tipped as a future Pope, will represent Christianity along with the retiring Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Carey and Batholomew I the Orthodox patriarch of Constantinople…

NEW YORK CITY
"Because of the major role the city of New York plays in the world governments and the governing of your nation, the United States, My child, it is for this reason that satan chose that area for his start to bring into your country a full overthrow of Christian belief. It is his endeavor now to replace the Church of My Son with the church of satan." - Our Lady, October 1, 1977

ANTICHRIST
"The leaders of your country and the rulers of your world are faster and faster plunging forward, bringing in the reign of the evil one whom you will know as the Antichrist of one world. The plan for his rule has been set for many years."- Our Lady, August 14, 1974

UNITED NATIONS
"You have allowed the evil to grow strong in your country. You will remove from your country this seat of evil [U.N.] that grows strong in your city. The mark of the beast has labeled your city Babylon! Open your heart and eyes now to the truth, before it is too late. You are being blindly led to your own destruction. The brood of vipers [U.N.] within your city must be removed at once!" - Our Lady, February 1, 1972

FALSE MESSIAH
"He will be covered as a sheep with robes of purity, but look into his heart, My child..." Veronica--Oh, I see a horrible, black-looking, ugly thing that was down there in the, in the pit. It's inside of this man who--outside he looks, he looks holy and human; but he's actually one of those things--he's actually a creature of hell. - Our Lady, April 13, 1974
