Headline: "Italian nun killed by Somali gunmen "
This woman was 60 years old. She was in Somalia to help people in the local hospital. She had been there since 2002 and suddenly she is shot to death and the thinking is it is because of what the Pope said in his speech last week. What kind of people kill an old lady who is there to help them because of something that an old man thousands of miles away says? I am so sick of these intolerant b****rds. There are no redeeming qualities in their 'faith' if this is what they do.

I mean they were going to burn to death, but chose to jump and essentially commit suicide. Are they in hell? Maybe Jesus would have shown up and brought them to heaven?

The fundamentalists who know the will of God, I'm looking to you for insight into God's plan.

A nun and her bodyguard were killed at a charity run hospital in Somalia. She was shot four times in the back. She was basically an old woman at the age of 60. Is this how Muslims prove to the world they are not violent?

I know many Muslims are not violent but many of these many do not do enough to cry out against injustices done in the name of Islam.

I believe the Koran, Hadiths, and the Sharia make it difficult to interpret in a peaceful way making people have to rely on the goodness of there heart to avoid acting out some of these dysfunctions shattered throughout the text.

If we do not wake up soon and stop playing this silly PC game we’ve all been playing to appease the anger of the Muslim community I’m afraid things will only go from bad to worse.

"The sun must not catch up the moon nor does the night outstrip the day. Each one is traveling in an orbit with its own motion."
-Surah 36, Ayah 40

The Quran claims that the sun revolves in an orbit. How do you explain that one?

If you were Lord of the Socks, would you care if your socks were unfaithful to your feet or to each other, as long as they keep your feet warm and didn't spread FTD (feetally transmitted diseases)?

do you think it wrong to "stalk" them a little by responding to one or two of their other questions in other sections - you know, making it a point to call attention to their blatant intolerance and bigotry they posted here in LGBT?

Muslims, how do you explain the Koran stating that the sun revolves around the earth? It is scientificly proven to not be true.

Isn't it crazy when cartoons and the words of the Pope lead to violence and hysteria? Does this say something about the LACK of freedom and tolerance in Muslim countries?
