In a quote from a Medeival text:
"Senior Vatican officials tried to damp down fury over the speech in which the Pope quoted from a medieval text saying that the Prophet Mohammed had brought the world "only evil and inhuman" things."
THe Pope apologized earler. His apology was not accepted by the Muslim world.
So, how do these level headed Muslims respond? Why, they BOMB CHURCHES, of course!!!!
Hmmm.....self-fulfilling prophesy?
Islam sure sounds like a benevolent and forgiving religion, doesn't it?
Certainly does! Not only were churches bombed, but the Pope was burned in effigy a few times, too.
Then again, we can't forget the Crusades or the Spanish Inquisition either, can we?
It has got to be the most peaceful loving religion ever. Killing innocents sure makes me want to be a muslim....well kill a muslim anyway.
What these people need is more democracy. That will fix them up. Ask George.
What these people need is a selection of MOABs....
I suspect the time they will get them is when Iran tries to wipe out Israel....
If I interpret correctly, the original speech (to a select group of scholars) discussed if rationality had a place in religious thought.
I guess we have that answer - the Muslim authorities can't even comprehend and interpret the darned speech! They just see "evil" and "Islam" somewhere in the same paragraph and go off on a violent spree.
The self-fulfilling prophesy is that, in their reaction to perceived anti-muslim slights, they may just make enough of a nuisance of themselves that we have to ACTUALLY wipe them out.
Crusade 2007! And this time, it won't be swords and iron helmets...
Well, they keep making themselves look like the narrow minded bigots that Gladys Kravitz keeps making religious conservatives here in the US out to be.
