I think the pope’s comment to ISLAM is very hypocritical. How can he state that the Muslim religion is violent? Did he forget about the Catholic inquisition? Where thousands and thousands of people where killed in the name of religion? It doesn't make it less violent because it happened years ago. The Catholic Church has a very bloody past. Perhaps you should look at the history of it before jumping to conclusions. I'm not Islam, or catholic.
On a side note: Islam itself is not forging a jihad over Catholics, just groups. You cannot condemn a religion over the actions of a few stray sheep. If you do that, then you are breaking one of Christianities valued principles, which is do not judge thy neighbor.
Below is a little history of the people murdered under the inquisition:
"Among the innumerable victims of the Inquisition were such famous people as the philosopher Giordano Bruno, Galileo, Joan of Arc, and the religious order of knights called the Templar’s. The institution and its excesses have been an embarrassment to many modern Christians. In anti-Catholic and antireligious polemics since the Enlightenment (for example, Voltaire's Candide), the Inquisition has been cited as a prime example of what is thought to be the barbarism of the Middle Ages. In its day there was some popular sympathy for the Inquisition. Some saw it as a political and economic tool, others, as a necessary defense for religious belief. Nevertheless, despite all efforts at understanding the institution in the light of social, political, religious, and ideological factors, today the Inquisition is generally admitted to belong to the darker side of Christian history."

No any Muslim who burns a church is not a true follower of Islam. Do the Ku Klux Klans actions prove that Jesus was an evil man? These peope are not true Muslims just as members of the KKK are not true Christians. True Muslims hate these radical Islamists, I know a Muslim who had his entire family killed in a Jihadist attack in the middle east. These men are not Muslims, they are murderers.

No. And like the radicals who are perpetrating the atrocities against Christians, you are only viewing this issue from a "black and white" perspective.
Many Muslims live in societies that can easily be described as totalitarian. They suffer from a condition fostered from birth where they end up with a heightened form of shame/guilt anxiety. So when they perceive that someone of importance, like the Pope, is insulting them, this feeds into their shame/guilt anxiety.
Frankly, I feel sorry for these people. And firmly believe that this cycle which effects a great deal, will never be broken until such time as the west shows some understanding and compassion. Until that happens, this will only grow and fester, resulting in the creation of more radical terrorists and destroyed lives.

Muhammad was evil and sick. Those Muslims that do burn churches are just showing the world how much we're going to start hating them and that it would be long before we've had enough.

I have researched religious history for over 20 yrs. My conclusion on Islam is that it is a false and evil religion based on the writings of a self proclaimed "prophet". Islam caused the crusades when European pilgrims were slaughtered while trying to reach the Holy Land and other parts of the middle east. The self proclaimed "prophet" Mohammad preached conversion by the sword or slavery. Through wars and persecution many times did the followers of Mohammad try to invade Europe only to be held at bay by the "evil crusaders". It is one goal and one goal only that the followers of Islam seek and that is world domination at any cost. Furthermore Oxford in England after years of research disclosed the true facts about the Catholic Inquisition in which less than 1000 people lost their lives at their hands during its existance and most of these people were true criminals and dangerous to society. It sickens me to know that Islam sits back and smiles as we westerners bash our own culture and scream "mea culpa" about the false modern history being spread in the media about the crusades, inquisition, and our western culture which builds while Islam destroys.

You can get Broken Sword Return of the Templars for free from this link: http://bit.ly/1uaZTPK
it's a perfectly working link, no scam !
Despite being an unofficial version, Broken Sword: The Return of the Templars got enough notoriety among the fans of the series, to the extent that their legal creators gave their full support.
It's a must have game.

Violence was and is not the prerogative of any single religion as the continuing Israeli occupation of Palestine demonstrates. During the Cold War the Vatican, with rare exceptions, supported the imperial wars. Both sides were blessed during the First and Second World wars; the US Cardinal Spellman was a leading warrior in the battles to destroy Communism during the Korean and Vietnam wars. The Vatican later punished the liberation theologists and peasant-priests in Latin America. Some were excommunicated.
Not all Christians joined in the crusades old and new. When Pope Urban launched the crusades the Norman king of Sicily refused to send troops in which Sicilian Muslims would be compelled to fight against Muslims in the East. His son, Roger II, refused to back the Second Crusade. In doing so they showed more courage than the leaders of contemporary Italy, who are only too willing to join the imperial crusades against the Muslim world.
'To make sure of being right in all things', said the founder of the Jesuits, Ignatius Loyola, 'we ought always to hold to the principle that the white I see I should believe to be black if the hierarchical church were so to rule.'
Today most Catholic prelates in the West (including the Bavarian in the Vatican) and politicians of Centre-Left/Right worship the real Pope who lives in the White House and tells them when black is white.
Mohammed the Messenger, may peace be upon him was sent as a mercy to mankind, Allaah says:
{We have not sent you except as a mercy to mankind}
Whoever deliberates over the conflicts that took place between past religions would find that if a religion was victorious over the other, they would destroy kill and take prisoners from the other. Islaam came with mercy for all creation through the beauty of the Islaamic legislation which establishes justice, fairness and advocates the grounds for security and stability in communities.
Islaam is ever so distant from terrorism, and it did not spread except through people's conviction that it is the truth, those who saw the goodness in Islaam, its justness and organization, and so people embraced Islaam in large numbers.
Islaam came in accordance to man's natural disposition. Sound intelligence is in accordance to the correct natural disposition of mankind and cannot contradict authentic scripture. The Islaamic legislation came with what the correct natural disposition of mankind and intelligence affirms, not with anything that contradicts reason.

Muslims cannot take any criticism, or anything remotely resembles one?
Now, will there be a fatwa out for the head of the Pope?

Yes, Islam is evil. Unfortunately, the evil liberals are defending the muslims once again. There is an old saying, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The liberals subcribe to this philosophy. Liberals want Christianity destroyed and if that means allying with the muslims... so be it. However, if Islam were to take over the USA... the liberals would be the first ones beheaded! Muslims hate homosexuals, infidelity, abortion, and all the other evil things liberals enjoy.
