It is my opionion that the Pope used a quote from midevil times to highlight a systematical flaw in the Islamic faith. This is the encouragement of violence inside of religion. In no other faith is this accepted but Islam. First of all, the Pope neither agreed nor disagreed with the person he quoted, he was using the quote as launchpad for greater (DEBATE) on the subject of violence in religion and how this is not acceptable no matter what faith you practice. Let's all come to an understanding, there is no room for understanding with these people, they have so much hatred and jealousy in their hearts, they don't want to discuss anything at all. They want to grab their machetties and hack off someones head because their prophet said they could. For pete's sake, they beat people for not showing up to prayer meetings. Does this sound like rational people to you? Peaceful religion my ****!!!

Sin will fuel itself with lust for it's sin.
Will not a smoker get mad if you take their pack from them and tell them that "Smoking causes cancer"? Will not a fat person get defensive if you tell them that the Twinkie they're shoving down their mouth will add weight and cause diabetes? Will not a culture lustful for violence search for, propagate, and rally those over words calling for peace and abolishing violence. This is no different than taking cigarettes away from a smoker. Truth was called, and now, they're too proud to hear the call for ending violence and take this historical quote to fulfill their lust for death, spiritual harm, and a reason to fight.

The Pope has no reason to apologize, 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 War Lord CONSTANTINE and his diabolical mother hijacked Christianity many years ago and set up the system that is now roman catholicism. They teach and preach a ""Different Gospel"" than that of Jesus and True Christianity.
Even the claim of first pope is a fabrication.

I think quran has both aspects in it - encouraging believers to more faith and encouraging non-believers to more violence.
But, and thats my big butt, I dont think it is right to blame the religion for all the violence. The violence just shows what those people have in their hearts.

Just to point out, I didn't know these guys were forced into Islam?
-Malcom X (born Malcolm Little)
-Mohammed Ali (born Cassius Clay)
-Kareem Abdul Jabar (Formerly known as Ferdinand Alcinder)
-Yusef Islam (Formerly known as Cat Stevens)
It's the fastest growning religion in the United States today, and I don't recall hearing much about people converting at gun point over here.
SO GO **** yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's my belief that the religion of Islam is going to play a very big part in the last days. I'm not surprised about anything going on, or being said, with regard to it.

Not all christians are catholics, and these non-catholic christians do not recognize the pope as head of their church therefore we do not obey the pope so whatever the pope says does not mean it is the word for all christians - although there are non catholic christians who adhere their faith in the catholic doctrine, christians commit crimes too, just read the papers.

Did you know that the greatest Jihad was with ones own self?
The Holy Prophet said that it is better to wage Jihad with ones own self by improving himself rather then commit violence.
And me being a muslim its my duty to pray but i dont and i certainly dont get beaten for not praying

GOD Book is made of three chapters: The Old Testament, The new Testament and Quran as a conclusion all originated from the middle east. How can you understand GOD LAWS with out reading GOD Conclusion?
"Say: we believe in God and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il: Isaac, Jacob and The Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus and the Prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another, among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)." (Qur'an, Al-Imran 3:84)
