One of Pope Benedict XVI's last acts: canonizing 800 Christian martyrs murdered by Muslims

A quiet and subtle acknowledgment of the escalating worldwide phenomenon of the Muslim persecution of Christians today? "Pope Canonizes Otranto Christian Martyrs Slayed [sic] by Muslim Turks," from Enza Ferreri, February 13:

Pope Benedetto XVI announced that he will leave his ministry at 8pm on February 28. He made this announcement during a consistory for the canonization of the martyrs of Otranto beheaded one by one by the Ottoman Turks.
Antonio Primaldo and his companions, 800 Christians, were murdered for hatred of their faith by Muslims during the Turkish siege of the town of Otranto, in South-East Italy, on August 13, 1480.
As the Qu'ran [sic] commands, these infidels were offered the choice to convert to Islam or be slayed [sic]. When they refused, the martyrs of Otranto were massacred.
The Qu'ran [sic] is obeyed and applied in the same way now as it was in 1480. The only difference between now and then is in the power and military force Muslim armies had then but now now. Let's make sure that it remains this way in the West....
