I have been watching the news the past few days and all I see are people in a rage over what the Pope said. He was not giving his opinion just simply quoting. Why the backlash? Why is it that the extremeist muslims are in outrage over anything anyone says about their religion that does not exactly match what they believe. And why arent we hearing anything from the Muslim leaders in defense of their religion showing that it is in fact a peaceful religion. Why are the Muslim people (the peaceful ones) allowing these extremeist to take over and give their religion a bad name? Is not as much their fault for accepting these acts and defending them? I am just curious. You dont see any other religion going around blowing places up and rallying all over the world in a rage over 1 comment someone made that wasnt in total agreeance with what they believed. To me its just plain madness.

there is something called "people behavior and attitude", "unemployment and poor condition", "war conditions". some people cannot take pressures, they see what's happening to the Muslim world and one unjust statement make them angry.

but a true Muslim should always return back to the Quran for answer.
and the Quran says:
Quran 41:34
[34] The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. Repel (the evil) with one which is better (i.e. Allah ordered the faithful believers to be patient at the time of anger, and to excuse those who treat them badly) then verily he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend.

regarding what Muslims should do. what do you think all Muslims here are doing. but now the situation is complicated, Muslims see the occupation of Iraq, taking their Oil. also continuously giving technical weapons to Israel and its used against Muslim civilians (Lebanon and Palestine). then things become complicated. but we are trying to calm things down as possible.

The answer to why you are not receiving positive information on Islam is simple. The media has not done a very good job informing people on the subject matter.
And people are upset because the pope directs many if not all catholics as to what is allowed or not in the faith. He is their god in essence. Muslims are upset because it is a direct insult to their faith and their beliefs. Not to mention a lie. Part of the comment the pope made was to say that "all Islam has brought is the sword and violence." which is ironic because Jesus says:


"Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household." (Matthew 10:34-36 NASB)

and also in Luke

"If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple." (Luke 14:26 NASB)

Not to mention the fact that Islam is only a branch of Judaism just as Christianity is.

I think it's impossible to understand this issue because you aren't a Muslim and you aren't from the east be sure that the Christians in these countries also has the same feeling about their religion .but also our religion and our profit is the most important for us more than father, mother ,son,......
keep your pope away of us away from our profit and try to live as a civilized people , don't insult others , leave our lands !!!then you will show the peaceful Muslim

It is nothing new. The loudest and the weirdest. The loud mouth teen who gives all teens a bad name. The biased white guy who gives all whites a bad name. Unfortunately that is the one we remember. All of us are guilty.

It is indeed madness. But remember. They are talking and blowing off steam. Did anything happen to Sweden after the cartoon was run up there? No it did not. The Pope is not a little man hidden in a church, he has a very elite well-trained guard in his own country. They are more then capable of handling some guy sitting in the sand, wearing a sheet and spouting off.

It seems to me that the Pope's comments were taken out of context. If anyone would actually read his address, they would understand that he was not making the point that Islam is evil.
Another point is that Muslims were offended by being called violent and spreading their religion with the sword. Seems to me that they have proven that with their latest uproar.
I don't believe that the Muslims protesting are "extremists". The peaceable Muslims are the extremists. The Koran is filled with calls to fight non-Muslims. The majority of them sit silent because they read this in the Koran. Violence is what their fundamental religious beliefs are based on.

The religion of peace killed a Nun and burned two churches over the Pope's quoting of history.

Yes, it's madness. Fasten your seat belt. It's gonna be a rough ride.

Muslims do not respect Freedom of Speech or any of the other essential human rights the rest of the world views as basic to civilized behavior. But then, neither does President Bush. One we can get rid of, the other we must live with.

Those Muslims are proving the quote to be correct.

Even though they did not read all of the Pope's comments and may be taking it out of context.

But they are proving to be what they are protesting against.

Peace!

and all of the excuses they make are crap. They all say Iraq, Afganistan etc etc..

We -- with Allah's help -- call on every Muslim who believes in Allah and wishes to be rewarded to comply with Allah's order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it. We also call on Muslim ulema, leaders, youths, and soldiers to launch the raid on Satan's U.S. troops and the devil's supporters allying with them, and to displace those who are behind them so that they may learn a lesson.

this was 1998 - nothing different then today in their need to kill Americans. This is a death cult and in time it will have to be fought just like they fight. By individuals taking action against muslims to rid this country and world of them.

It is bothering me also. I mean here they killing an innocent nun in response to what the Pope quoted about them being evil. Are they not just proving what he read as true.
