[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

So, the Pope.. when qouting a 14th centrury manuscript said that Muslims were prone to violence... in response the Muslims killed a Nun in Somalia and clerics are calling for the Pope's head...

:devil I heard about this,reminds me,when that author

wrote that book"Satanic Verses" and it pissed off most of the Middle East.

[phee]

Or when the FICTIONAL NOVEL the Da Vinci Code came out and pissed off the Catholic church... (Actually The Catholic Church boycotted and didn't kill people.... BIG DIFFERENCE IMO)

[Scary Guy]

So he said a quote, big deal. People should look past that and try to figure out why he said it.

IMO the best thing that can come from this is either the catholic church loses even more credibility (asside from the altar boy thing) or they fight the muslims and just anialate eachother.

Yes, I am an evil, evil man

I found that quiet amusing.

I don't think you need to qualify that statement as your opinion.

There is a HUGE FUCKING DIFFERENCE between boycotting and killing people. Period.

Let's face facts: They're already grasping at straws.

[kellygrrrrrl]

I was wondering when someone would post about this....I was going to, but....I didn't.

Sad.

That's all I have to say.

Sad.

Thier reaction to this is exactly what the manuscript was talking about....

Savages.

Yes...irony at it's finest.

How very dissapointing, but not at all suprising.

Very few protests of the Pope's remarks by Muslims have taken on an air of violence and in general, what is being protested is that Islam is constantly referred to in terms of it's extreme. For instance, what the media took on in regards to the protests against the Pope's discourse mostly dealt with violent protests instead of covering that a majority of the protesting Muslims feel that the illustration that the Pope used played into the hands of extremists and thus could influence non-Muslims to think that the quote the Pope used, could be accurate. While the Pope's intention was to show common misconceptions that have persisted about Islam, in quoting that piece, unfortunately, many non-Muslims are proving the Pope correct for describing such bigotry. Of course, the Pope should have been cognizant to the potential for all this with special responsibility, considering that Pope Ratzinger is a former Nazi.

Judging by his extremist positions against abortion and gay marriage, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the Pope is a hatemonger as well. Quoting from an ancient text, the leader of the most barbaric religion in the history of the world accused Islam of being "evil", and "inhuman". Once again, Catholics have demonstrated that they just can't get out of the Dark Ages.

Muslims are a deeply sensitive people and their feelings are easily hurt, but Islamist leaders across the world took to the airwaves and beseeched their followers to refrain from acts of violence and instead walk the path of peace. Although the pontiff’s words were reminiscent of Hitler back before he redeemed himself by killing 6 million Jews in an imaginary Holocaust, they were only words and no excuse for harming innocents. Once an appropriate amount of churches had been burned and enough nuns brutally gunned down, Muslims and infidels could co-exist in peace and harmony.

The Pope, on the other hand, seems determined to start a Holy War. His half-assed apology was too little, too late, and didn’t include anywhere near the amount of groveling Muslims have grown to expect from Europeans. Nor did he mention that he was willing to accept punishment for his cruel attack on the peacelove Muslim peoples. Under Sharia law, anyone who even indirectly implies that Islam is anything less than "peachy keen" can only be forgiven once they’ve been decapitated, disemboweled, and then trampled to death by a herd of unwashed goats. The Pope is probably too much of a bigot to accept such an olive branch, but there is an alternative. He could convert to Islam.

I know he’s got it pretty good with this Holy See gig. He's got a big house, a fancy car, and more money than he knows what to do with. But the Pope should try thinking about someone besides himself for a change.

Since 9/11 there are only 5,000 reported acts of terrorism in the name of islam on record. You are correct, it's the non-muslims who are the problem.

Because in this case Catholisisim might actually be the lesser of two evils?

But so full of great ideas. :whistling

I'll take that as a complement, sarcastic tone or not.

Should I feel bad that I agree with you on some level...?

No, because I'm right :D

The world would be a much better place without religion and holy wars. If that means we need to get rid of the fanatical billions that practice and believe whole heartedly to get the peace we want... so be it.

A bit over simplified... but yes... if religion could not be used as an exuse to kill people... then I think the violence would be reduced (but not gone).... IMO
