The Islamic world doesn't mind fanatic Jehadis blowing up & beheading innocent people around the world but have lashed out in unison against a harmless statement issued by Pope Benedict against the extremist elements in Islam.

Actually most moderate Islamic leaders have spoken out against the suicide bombings. Pay attention to more than just Faux News and you might hear about it.

And Muslims want us to believe Islam is a peaceful religion. Give me a break!
Too many people pretend to not see the irony in Muslims being able to desecrate a Christian Temple in Jerusalem by spreading feces on images of Christ? But a Christian leader (the Pope) can’t remind people of what 14th century Byzantine emperor Manuel Paleolous II said about the profit Mohammad several hundred years ago. It wasn’t even the Popes own words or thought. He was repeating what Paleolous II supposedly said. . What’s with the hypersensitivity anyway?
The Muslims can dance in the streets; shout and yell; raise their fists all they want to but I do not believe the Pope owes Muslims an apology for anything.
Some have contended the terrorists are a form of radical Islam and a small minority of the faith. They say the large majority of Muslims are a peaceful people. I am beginning to wonder about these claims when I see the reported millions in the streets protesting what the Pope repeated.
Two faced or what? Is Islam a peaceful religion or a violence based religion? By what I am seeing and hearing, I would have to conclude the latter.

Pope has an address and these jihadis are small groups of militants with no specific address. Pope is a very responsible spiritual leader of the christian world. If pope falls to same low level as these Jihadis, than there is no difference between the Jihadis and this Pope. Pope should take his time, to learn Islam and open dialogue with the Muslims in a very educated fashion.

Seems to work only one way. The Pope has no reason to apologize, the full text http://www.cwnews.com/news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=46474 he quoted a 14th century emperor and it was taken out of context. I know of no other religion in recent history that has been as militant, radical, and terroristic as the Islamic radicals. Almost all terrorist acts have been in the name of Islam, all beheadings, suicide bombing, and torture has been in the name of Islam. The rest of the world should demand an apology from the Islamic clerics, and a pledge for them to stop the senseless violence done by these so called true believers.
The following was provided by another member in response to a similar question, it seems to reinforce the propensity toward violence.
Ishaq:544 “Muhammad commanded the people to prepare for the foray [raid, incursion, sortie, attack, or assault]. The Messenger informed his troops that he was going to Mecca. He ordered them to prepare themselves and ready their equipment quickly. He said, ‘O Allah, keep spies and news from the Quraysh until we take them by surprise in their land.'” Fundamental Islamic organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and al-Qaeda offer the same prayer today.
Ishaq:544 “Hassan incited the men, reciting: ‘This is the time for war. Don't feel safe from us. Our swords will open the door to death.'” And so it would be forevermore.
Qur'an 9.5 “When the sacred forbidden months for fighting are past, fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, beleaguer them, and lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”

Moslems SHOULD denounce the violent acts of their screwballs doing things in the name of their religion. But christians should also acknowlege the screwballs of their religion who kill for greed and political positioning and the Jews should acknowlegde and condemn their terrorists killing innocent people including children. If every enlightened person who has learned to think for him/herself would take a stand against violence and bigotry regardless of their own affiliations and refute all evil no matter what religion it comes from, and not deny their own religion's dirty laundry, there will be peace. That's the definition of heaven on earth.

And the Muslim leaders are indignant? To friggin undesirable, they recommend violence and that i assume each and every little ingredient reported would be twisted to commence worry. in keeping with risk in the event that they actually acted in a manner God needs human beings to act we are in a position to all get alongside. i'm Catholic and hear stuff reported approximately my faith, yet i don't think in going out and killing as many human beings as i will. i assume they are going to circulate searching for yet another development to bomb or harmless human beings to behead. i'm not speaking approximately those tens of millions of solid God fearing Muslims, merely those that commence worry each and all the time. they only finally end up getting fairly some human beings killed, alongside with their very own.

This is a good question. Muslims do not criticize criticism. They criticize someone saying their religion is violent. They protest and foment violence because they are not violent. Is that logical? Islam is violent. The pope was right.

Your presumption is not correct. Muslim world is victim of terrorism. You can read the losses of Muslims by terrorist activities. Most of Muslim countries are supporting USA.
Statement made by Pope is highly prejudiced against Muslims. Pope has a mission. Therefore, instead of speculating we should wait and see. I am confident that misunderstanding will be cleared.

That is the most intelligent question I have ever seen on Answers.
Why??
When anyone says anything they don't really like like cartoons or the pope they can have a fit. Now we can talk. Where were they when they were cutting peoples heads off.
