The muslims protested the quotations from the Pope, implying that Islam can condone violence. They burned flags, detroyed buildings and killed a nun in protest.
Dah!

Thank you so much for your "insightful" question.
Tell me, how come when Roman Catholic homosexual priests sodomize young boys, people like you don't protest such actions by hanging the f-a-g priest?
Just another "insightful" question thrown back at you.
FYI....its Duh! not Dah!

When I heard about this on friday, I found it rather amusing that in response to the quote that the Pope used. He said that they believed in spreading their religion by the sword (among other things). In protest crowds took to the streets in protest shouting death to America and death to Israel. America and Israel have no control over the Pope, yet these people are calling for our destruction to what he said. They protest the Pope's word by promoting the vary behavior that they are protesting being accused of promoting.
You can talk about how these people represent the radicals all you want, but where are the moderate leaders condemning their behavior. We don't hear about that much. You can also complain about the evil in other religions, but that does not justify the tolerance of the muslims for the evil in their midst.

The problem is that they have a persecution complex, which inflates their sense of being wronged and The West of wronging them.
Is it that Islam is especially popular in a region of the world that maintains draconian laws and punishment because of less progressed culture, or does Islam itself sustain this draconian culture in that region? Chicken or the egg: that is the question at hand!
Recent Muslim reactions do in fact bear out what the Pope said. But don't tell them that, is what I say. Yes they are wrong. But just because they are wrong doesn't mean we should inflame their passions more, because it will hurt all of us in the end. And telling them they're wong -- I guarantee -- will not show them the errors of their ways.

It's not the pope's words. He got it from a history quote in the 14th century. But my feeling here is, these are the past, let's move on to the future and seek peace among each other. This will not help if we open up faults of the past. Killings must stop.

No kidding!! It's like The Emperor has no Clothes. He quotes about they're violent ways They answer with "No, we're not" as they shoot nuns and burn Church's. Duh- what's wrong with this picture? Another thing that I don't think people realize is this is tending to pull all Christians together no matter the denomination. Wouldn't that be great if they reunited to take on a common enemy. It might happen. Then the Body of Christ would be looked upon like it was supposed to be and for sure we would be a force to be reckoned with. I don't think the Muslims would be so brave then.

you only heard about the violence where a couple of churches where attacked.
but did you hear about the silent march they had? they marched the streets silently holding signs that are not offensive at all demanding an apology. but i bet the media here is not interested in those kind of protests.
they only wanna look where Muslims are burning effigies and attacking churches.

Sad, isn't it that they feel they have the right to harm others for what one man said 700 years ago. But that is the insanity of Islam. I guess they don't realize they will just turn more people against them by doing crazy acts.

Yes they are, my good doctor! They confirm it with every act of violence. Islamic violence is all the world knows of Islam. It's not like they have a "Mother Theresa" do-good-er of Islam or anything.
Imagine the pope stockpiling weapons like Hamas or Hezbollah!
