In light of what the pope said ..we have all seen that muslims are demanding an apology...but instead of waiting to see if they will receive the apology ...they are burning churches and back to burning things because they have hurt feelings....this is a sign of who they are truly.....I dont see christians out burning things and burning down places of other religions worship because they have had their beliefs trod upon...to me they are showing who they really are....what happen to we are a peace and love religion?....I dont think it matters whether they get an apology or not...it wont change a thing in how they are reacting .....the world is watching ....

ibrahim
it is because you sit back and do nothing....your people dont lift their voice in protest ...they only lift it in anger and hate...and then those like you speak and say we are against terrorism but there is nothing to show that you do.....are you afraid for your life?....what keeps you from coming forth and taking a voice against those who do this destructive behavior and give your religion a bad light to the world.....what will it take for you to take a stand and speak out?.... until you do your religion will be viewed as a religion of hate and destruction.....sorry but you will give your lives to take innocent lives to make a statement to the world that you dont like what others stand for or what they say... but you wont allow your life to be taken for taking a stand against the evil that is destroying your religion....why?

this isnt as easy a question as it appears

there are different kinds of muslims-its like saying the
christian church-there are churches that promote homosexuality that claim to be christian -surely they are not but -to the world they are.

the pope has to deal with the past persecutions of others the inquizitions-which seems to be over looked-yet two wrongs dont make a right

i think both should oppologize-if muslims and although they may say they are against them-yet allow terrorist to be called muslims and dont stand up against them-then they are part of the problem-nuf said

It's the nature of humanity!!! when you have a right thing you don't want anyother one hurt it and if someone wana destroy it you will fight.
So you loose your things if someone take it from you? Will you not to do any thing against it? If you don't do anything and just choose the feelings of failure it means that things are NOT important for you.
But what do you do if you know what you have is correct and important? Find the answer not from a muslim eyes but from a human eyes.
The GOD is watching...

That is true.
First thing they did was start burning down churches.

When they respond with violence they are simply confirming the accusations of their ancient critics.

Christians aren't good with the fatwa and death threat stuff either.

"I have not heard Muslim leaders come out and condemn those Muslims who commit mass murder in the name of their God. If they are truly relegion of peace this is the time for them to speak."

The pope was right to say what he has said and
for such a peaceful religion the followers of Islam have a tendency to use “the threat of violence” when they don’t like what they hear.

If Muslims were as quick to publicly condemn the suicide bombers who cowardly kill and maim in the name of Islam, then maybe we'd start taking other things they whinge about more seriously.

Its ok for Islam to print, say and spread anti christian and anti semetic propaganda. As soon as someone writes a book, says anything or even draws a cartoon even remotely anti Islamic, the death threats and the bombings and the looting and sacking of embassies etc starts.

Here we go again! Dare to say anything which could be construed as criticism of Islam, and the usual bandwagon of vilification and hatred gets underway.

Why not wonder "why do people see us in this light; why do people say such things about us?" and seek to change perceptions?!

By giving the usual reaction, Muslims merely reinforce the stereotypical view - it perpetuates the vicious circle.
With all the ongoing crisis in the middle east, as far as I can see, the quote makes a valid point.

If Muslim world's anger can simply be aroused by a quote, it's probably time to get some anger management.

I am DEEPLY tired of the islamics throwing their hands up in horror every time someone even remotely criticises their religion, and yet they feel it is okay to savage anyone (figuratively and literally) that is not of their faith.

Tolerance works both ways; if they want non-islamics to accept them, then maybe they should try to accept that not every living thing wants to be a muslim.

'No real effort to understand Islam'. Oh boo-hoo-hoo. Since when was the onus suddenly on everyone else to understand Islam? People make judgements based on what they see and experience over time. What else is there to understand? Sounds like a spoilt teenager wailing 'no one understands me, I'm so special and unique'. Why doesn't Islam make more effort to understand why a fair number of people dislike it so much?

Instead of Muslims attacking the Pope on his statement, they should be stopping the terrorist groups etc. Why can Muslims sit back and say nothing about attacks in the west but shout with anger when someone questions there way of spreading Islam. Moderate muslims have to choose the sword or democracy there is no in between.
Simple question: Do records show that Mohammed did say something along these lines? Given how he behaved, the answer is probably yes.

Yet again, Muslims are trying to rewrite their own violent history, shutting down any *factual* discussion of history by pretending to be offended rather than countering arguments with facts and getting us to give up our own valuable freedom of speech.
I am not surprised that the Muslims are complaining, all they do. Even historical quotes seem to ruffle there feathers. Yet when they say anything about Christianity or the West we just sit there and take it.

They can only dish out criticism not take it.
How about all the scum that rant and rave on our streets about how evil the West is and openly rejoice in the events of 9/11, retract all their statements?

Once again the Muslims/Islam are having another cry about some words someone has said. This shows how weak Islam is as a religion, say or draw something and they get upset BORING. My faith and beliefs in my own religon transend any petty words or drawings....
Time for Islam to grow up and become part of the world community that we live in....

He was mentioning an historical fact. Islam is the only world religion who's so called "prophet of peace" spread his word by the sword. Did Jesus or Buddha ever take up arms and resort to violence? No. Any religion that leaves room for interpretation of violence, justifies suicide bombing and advocates the repression of women cannoty be viewed as a religion of peace. If Muslims wish us to view thier religion as peaceful then they need to learn tolerance of other views and stop their murdering.

Surely Islam's ridiculously disproportionate response to things such as this and the Mohammed cartoons will only tarnish Islam's image yet further?

For heavens sake. The muslims are upset AGAIN. Are these people really that childish and insecure that every single comment upsets them.
Wouldn't it be so nice to have even a couple of days out from this constant whingeing. What offends most here is that our lives are constantly dominated by this nonsense. Why don't these people grow up?
