Not exactly.
Insulting any Catholic Christian or non-Catholic Christian is insulting the Body of Christ which is just about the same as insulting Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
With love in Christ.

Wrong. The Catholics think the Pope speaks for the church leaders as a whole. People insult the Pope all the time, but you don't see Catholics murdering people for it, or calling for someone to kill the person who insulted the Pope, or people burning down the church of the person who insulted the Pope. That's the difference between Catholics and Muslims. A Muslim insults Jesus when he claim Jesus was just another man, and not the Messiah, but you don't see Catholics rioting and burning and killing when it happens. What does THAT tell you? Jesus = peace. Islam = excuse for violence.
Wake up and leave Islam

If your intention was to insult the Pope only, its like insulting any religious person, if by insulting the Pope, you fully intended to insult God, then its like insulting God. God knows your intentions so don't try any funny stuff.

Yep, if someone insults the pope, for example a buddist, then good christians should go out and murder some innocent buddists. Doesn't make sense? No, of course not, but that's what the muslims seem to think is the way to go.

I'm very sad that Pope Benedict has disgrace Muslims. The muslims people in Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon have died not for their country but for their brothers and sisters in Christians.
Islam accepts Christian Church in Jerusalem even that place is the 3 sacred place in Islam. The muslims have tolerate with others but the Pope is more stupid or maybe he has been paid by Bush to cover up the issues coming in next Senate election. to ensure the legacy continued in Iraq.

That's what the Pope believes and Catholics are supposed to believe this, too. Christians from other religions do not believe this though.

The Pope doen't speak for God, he speaks only for thr Catholic church. They claim to be a sussecor to St. Peter, That is not true, Peter was a married man. The only thing Catholics speak for is themsevles. No one else.

Yes!
We may not like, or even respect the Catholic religion, or the leaders in the organization, but they still have a right to their belief.
Why would we want to insult them, if we are not willing to be insulted ourselves?
Matthew 7:1 instructs us to not judge, so I would assume, no matter the religion, if we judge, we ourselves will be judged for the judgment.
