Sure.
"We strongly disagree with the Pope's insistance that we're merciless killers. And in protest, we're going to kill him... Mercilessly."

i just answered a similar question to this about Islam being a peaceful rligion.
Well its the extremist are the one that make my religion, Islam to have a bad name. Extremist are everywhere. Even in other religious group. From where i come from, we don't go knocking our Christian neighbour's door and bashed them up after what the Pope commented. We are still happily and peaceful living together. Its called tolerance and forgivingness and patient.
Well who ever you are, I think the only knowledge you got about my religion that is Islam is thru the media and tv. Well you cant believe everything u hear and see on the tv. There are more peaceful Muslim out there. Only that the media coverage is only on the violence that we Muslim did. And that my friend make people like you hate us, Muslim.
Personally i think that these poor Muslim brothers have been exploited by other Muslims who want to gain personal glory. And because of that, you cannot hate all Muslim and call ISLAM a relgion of hate and violence. And i'm ashamed that they use the name of my religion to achieve this.
God give you a brain and that what separate us HUMAN from being an ANIMAL. So please use it wisely.

Timothy McVeigh was an right wing Christain extremist. Is there any doubt in your mind that he killed 170 people and Christainity is a monsterous religion..........
No I dont believe this but my point here is you cant condemn a whole religion for the view of a minority extremist element. You are being extremely simplistic!!! You must have a little more depth to see that just because some radical elements act this way that shouldn't condemn the whole religion.
BTW the Pope should apologize.....Whether you think what he said is right or wrong he offended some people....an aplogy would be common courtesy. WWJD?

As far as I know, the Nation of Islam always threaten when their religion has being criticized. If you remember the book called "Satanic Verses", that says Islam is an evil religion, the Muslim clerics have put a price ( $10,000.00) to the head of the author Alhman Rushdee. He went into hiding and never heard of him since. How can you be so ignorant as to believe it is a religion of peace?? !!

The muslims religion is not the only religion that has used the name of god to kill, tax, enslave, or force conversion on anyone.
All religions are based on the love of god and love of others and peace and caring. We are the ones that turn is and twist it to make it ok to do evil.

Again I will repeat, Islam is a peace loving religion.
Your opinion doesn't count. If Pope was such a religious or spiritual leader how come he made that negative comments about other religion? now regretting about it. Does his Christian beliefs teach him to be like that?
And I demand an apology from you about all this bunch on non-sense. What an ignorant. !

If every Muslim back in the days of the Inquisition or Crusades or all of the many supposed "wars caused in the name of Christianity"....blah blah, said that Chrisitanity was not peaceful--it would of been a legitamite claim. It is unfortuante. BUT its not logical to argue from SOME to ALL. Just as there some evil,corrupt policemen not ALL are that way. Keep in mind for every radical there are possibly 50 peaceful one's in his place.
I am a Christian who is reading the Qur'an and find no hatred in those pages.

Notice that the Muslims rose up in ANGER and in HATE. That is all the proof we need. The Pope was only quoting a 13th century Emperor, why all the fuss? Can't they see he was only QUOTING. That goes to prove the direct prejudice they have against all others. They criticize Christianity big time, yet can't take a little for themselves when we do it to them, the wusses. At least the Pope isn't being a coward by speaking the truth, as he always speaks the truth.

"Muslims" don't want to do any of that. Islam truly is a peaceful religion...which in fact has many ties and similarities to Christianity. However..."Musilim *extremists*" have their own ideas of how to handle situations...which often times result in violence. Saying that Islam is a religion of hate is just as ignorant as saying that *all* Germans in WWII were Jew killers...simply because Nazism was the government of the time and that the Nazis did horrible things to people of the Jewish race. It just doesn't add up...

What the F*** do you know this same topic is displayed 360+ times. I dont see the need to discuss this, as we all know that no matter what happens if all are just going to ignore it.
Because who wants to fight a war? DO you?
Are u willing to go to the battlefield? I know i dont.
