Is that why muslims are outraged at the pope's speech?
If its not the truth why dont muslims just ignore what ppl say about their religion. Why react with VIOLENCE?

lies hurt more especially when they are said on the person you love the most.
not the truth, if history proves what the pope quoted wrong then how is it the truth? why do you choose to believe a stupid quote from a war monger emperor, and refuse to believe what the holy Prophet says? why do you always agree on what hurts people even though it's untrue? why do you find satisfaction in hurting others? why do you enjoy seeing people get mad to the point they lose control and have a good laugh at them?
why do you blame us because we love God and his Prophets and can't stand some one that slanders their name?
it's strange really is.
you know, there were many silent marches yesterday and today in the middle east. people marched silently holding signs that were not offensive at all demanding an apology. and will have more next Friday. but you never saw that, you only hear about the violence and the cameras of the US media will never show nothing but people screaming their guts out and burning effigies and going crazy, they will never show the peaceful marches.
but they were there. you can thank the media for doing a great job by making you believe exactly what they want you to believe

I'm not trying to justify Muslim violence, not even as revenge for what the pope said, but he's the head of the church that organised the inquisition, the crusades, the bloodshed in the Americas; it's the church that supported every single dictatorship in Latin America. It's the church that's still against condoms, which causes millions of unwanted pregnancies, and abortions, and therefore deaths of girls who aborted illegally... You see the outrageous thing is that the pope precisely, of all people, should be talking about violence.
That being said, killing a nun in revenge is absolutely out of the line, uncalled for, unjustifiable, and wrong in all senses. Violence is wrong. No matter who exerts it and who receives it.

Ok...lets put it this way ok...IT IS NOT ABOUT WHATS TRUTH AND WHATS NOT.....its abt not creating another spark for VIOLENCE,
Yeah, i do agree that some people takes it personally and goin crazy because of it but how many people has died because of that? Not as many as those in Lebanon and Palestine, right?
A quick response to what considered as sensitivity in other religion and culture would definitely ANGER. The same thing happen if your loved one is being bullied or smacked. Its a normal response in every human being.
Now, ask yourself this, what has ignited the violence in Lebanon and Palestine? Or...maybe you think that it is the right thing to do? For God sake... Think before you say something...

The islamic slogan is quickly becoming "Convert or die."
Muslims are reacting with violence because they don't care who you are, what you believe or how you vote. They want you to either be a muslim or be dead.
To think this is a minority of muslims is silly. Take a look at how many non-western muslims actually condemn these constant violent acts. You could count them all on one hand.

First of all excellent question. You see when ignorant, dogmatic people are faced with an undeniable truth that makes them look wrong, bad, or both they fly into a tantrum like a group of children. This irrational behaviour is evident in every religion.

They feel offended probably because this particular topic of violent teachings based on the 'sword' is no longer relevant in today's democratic world, but remained an unresolved and unfortunately not-to-be-challenged-because-it-is-sacred part of their ideology and teachings which continue to be abused by radical ones.

If anyone took the time to understand their religion they would stop asking this. They believe that fighting for their beliefs (holy war), will insure that they will be with God. That is a really stupid consolidated answer, but i'm too tired to go into it now.

that is just a less-refined version of someone getting sued by scientologists for saying that all scientologists do is sue people.
