Are you upset with what the Pope said about Mohammad?

Question

In his most recent speech he made reference to what another pope had said, the muslims are crying and ranting again. Do you think it was all that bad or truth.

Answer 1

Nope!
I think that the people on earth should be more enlightened about Islam, by the Muslims response. Namely, the firebombing of Christian Churches by Muslims!
The fact that Muslims are so violently and easily provoked, shows that the claim of Islam being a religion of peace is by far the most lying and deceptive claim since the US claim of being a Nation of Democracy!

Answer 2

He was reading a quote, and that was said by someone else but the fact that he used it is significant. He could have used some other quote or made some other point but he chose that one for a reason. Regardless whether it was a quote or not, the Muslims are in another hissy fit over it, which I think has not so much to do with what he said, which may have had some truth in it, as much as it has to do with the fact that Muslims are obsessed with their excessive study of the Qur'an and as a result their world-view is severely limited and narrow. If most of their life and existence is based on the Qur'an, then it is easy to see how they get so bent out of shape at any little criticism. Now the brave, righteous Muslims have gone off and killed an Italian nun; this is their response to rhetorical questions. They are clearly of balance, and their perceptions of things outside ther narrow view is perverted and distorted.

What is most interesting is that the conditions that gave rise to the original quote back in the 1400s are still very much a part of Islam; nothing much has changed. By becoming violent over the pope's quote, the Muslims have pretty much show it to be true, and the killing of the nun just gives additional confirmation.

The Muslims should step back and take a good long, hard, objective look at how they react to things. I don't think it's very impressive for a religion to espose such things. When a religion causes people to go out and kill others at the slightest provocation then something is wrong with that religion and the way it is taught. Somebody is missing the point of it all.

1."We need the pope to admit the big mistake he has committed and then agree on apologizing, because we will not accept others to apologize on his behalf”

2.The statement issued by the Vatican "was not an apology" but a "pretext that the pope was quoting somebody else as saying so and so."

3. A man who organises his own succession to the Papacy with a ruthless purge of potential dissidents and supervises the selection of Cardinals with great care leaves little to chance. .no doubt he knew what he was saying and why.

4. What was the purpose of a quote but to endorse that description? This is evident because he did not question it in any way. Till today he did not retract what he said or say he was sorry he uttered what proved to be explosive words.

Answer 4

It really is ironic, that you hear all this weeing & whining from them when they feel "offended" yet these are the same people who scream such horrific threats and slurs toward Christians, Jews, & others on a daily basis. It is so bizarre, that they would be demanding tolerance, & acceptance, when their poster boys are so rooted in hate mongering. I'm not the Pope, so I can't know exactly what he meant in the moment -- but I would hope that as a representative of an international religion, that he gave it considerable thought, and hoped it would make a point. If they didn't like the point, ok, so what, don't listen to him. An opinion voiced by one is not the reason for jihaad. that's my humble opinion for what it is worth.

Answer 5

Well, as a lapsed kafflick, I think the pope just may be a dope. LOL Of course we are not upset. If the dress fits the muslims must wear it with the diaper on the head too. LOL

Answer 6

Not upset at all. The Pope was just quoting a former Pope, and I guess the shoe must fit, because the Muslims were so upset. What else is new?? It doesn't take much to upset them!!

Chow!!

Answer 7

I'm not even sure why the pope spoke of Muslims but I do not think that the Islamists shouldn't be so worked up over it. It was just words. No actions were taken against them. It takes a bigger man to walk away.


Wasn't that pope a nazi once?

Answer 8

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...well, especially at this juncture in time when Islam and Muslims are being demonized as part of the US and Zionist agenda, I think it was ignoble of him to add fuel instead of following Jesus in spirit, and contributing to peace...after all, blessed are the peacemakers...furthermore, his remarks were not accurate, too. In fact, it was quite hypocritical. He needs to explore the concept of Jihad, instead of echoing the ignorant remarks of others. For example how can he acknowledge "Just War theory" in Catholic doctrine and be so critical of Jihad?! How can he ignore the fact that while the Muslims are supposed to be evil, in actual fact it is our lands that are occupied, the over 60000 civillians killed since Bush's assault of Iraq for oil, and the devastation of Lebanon by Jews, and the setting up of the Talibans in the first place through US sponsprship to defeat the Soviet Union, etc., etc.
For all those who hate Islam and Muslims and see us as terrorists and savages, just reflect on how you get these ideas...is it not through your mainstream media which are owned and manipulated by Zionists and the greedy elite of the American society, the 1% or so who owns God knows how much of the wealth, and has the politicians in its plutocratic pockets. Wake up and instead of letting them continue the con and illusion of democracy, work to restore your democracy, and deal with real issues pertaining to people. Why don't you have a proper public health care? What is the public benefit of having public assets privatized, that is, taken from control of the elected public representatives and given to buddies to make profit from...You can't have democracy and political illiteracy...please wake up ordinary Americans, for your sake and the sake of the world.

With love in Christ.

Answer 10

The Pope replaced into quoting somebody else and it replaced into taken out of context. He replaced into touching directly to an purpose marketplace of theologians and clerics that faith won't be able to be unfold by using terror. i think of Mohammad will take exhilaration in the Pope's help of the real Muslim faith. a faith no longer practiced by using extremists who attempt to unfold faith by using terror. Mohammad, i think of, will say, "thank you."
