(CNN) -- Leaders across the Muslim world have demanded the pope apologize for his remarks on Islam and jihad, unmoved by Vatican assurances that Benedict XVI only intended to point out the incompatibility between faith and war.

maybe this will start the present day crusades, and we can finally rid the world of islam.

[ncountylee]

Burn baby, burn!

I'm a Christian, and I am really torn here .. because what I'd like the Pope to say is a short, two word phrase and I know it is not a Christian thing to think, let alone say ... but I still wish someone would say it.

Please Lord ... allow a microphone to be left on ...

Pray for the Pope and show your support email at

can the pope call for a crusade if the muslims decide to declare war on the vatican?

His remarks were planned to make this happen and hasten the conflict. Very clever and it worked like a charm.

2 West Bank churches hit by firebombs By ALI DARAGHMEH, Associated Press Writer

Two West Bank Christian churches were hit by firebombs early Saturday, and a group claiming responsibility said it was protesting Pope Benedict XVI's remarks about Islam.

Relations between Palestinian Muslims and Christians are generally peaceful, and clergy played down the attacks on an Anglican and a Greek Orthodox church in the city of Nablus as isolated incidents.

But they said they'd worry if more Christian sites are targeted. On Friday, two small explosions went off near a Greek Orthodox church in Gaza, causing minor damage.

"It is easy to worry," Father Yousef Saada, a Roman Catholic priest in Nablus, said Saturday. "The atmosphere is charged already, and the wise should not accept such acts."

The firebombs left black scorch marks on the walls and windows of the two Nablus churches. At least five firebombs hit the Anglican church.

In a phone call to The Associated Press, a group calling itself the "Lions of Monotheism" claimed responsibility. The caller said the attacks were meant as a protest against the pope's remarks about Islam.

Bishop Riah Abo El-Assal, the top Anglican clergyman in the Holy Land, said Saturday he expected his Muslim colleagues would swiftly denounce the attacks on the churches. Abo El-Assal brushed aside the attacks as "childish acts" and said he was not increasing security at the Anglican churches in the area.

During a speech in Germany earlier this week, Benedict cited an obscure Medieval text that characterizes some of the teachings of Islam's founder as "evil and inhuman." The pope, spiritual leader of more than one billion Roman Catholics, did not explicitly agree with or repudiate the text.

The Vatican later said the pope did not mean the comments to be offensive. Muslim leaders, however, have demanded an apology, and there have been protests in several countries.

On Friday, about 2,000 Palestinians protested against the pope in Gaza. Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of the Islamic militant Hamas said the pope offended Muslims everywhere.

Christians make up a small — and dwindling — minority of several tens of thousands among the more than 3 million Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem.

When will Muzzies apologize for burning Christian/Jewish/Hindu/Buddhist churches in the name of Islam, beheading non muslims in the name of islam, hijacking planes in the name of Islam, blowing themselves up and killing hundreds along with them in the name of Islam, raping and beating women in the name of Islam, imprisoning non muslims because they aren't muslims...When?

[AngelesCrestHighway]

WORLD to Muslim Leaders...Go F*%# yourself!!

[Taxman]

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."

The Pope got it right!

[Dallas59]

I expect a Muslim car bomb at Vatican City any day now.

They'd better tighten security at the Vatican.

When Rosie O'Dem said radical christianity was just as dangerous as radical islam, was her house or studio fire bombed the next day?

[mainepatsfan]

Well don't forget she does have armed security guards. Of course us little people aren't allowed to own firearms for our own protection because we're not important like she is.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

A new Crusade has already started.

Only one side knows, though.
