At a press conference in Gaza City, a number of Muslim clerics said the pope's statements were "the result of his hatred for Islam and not the result of ignorance."

And what was the response of these "moderate voices" of Islam to the firebombings of the Christian chuches in their midst? Does anyone know?

I understand typos. I make enough of my own. :)

LOL!!!

Jihad goes both ways losers. Be careful what you wish for.

I think the last reasonable arab was Kahlil Gibran...

Except that Gibran was a Christian, and his family fled Lebanon when he was young because the Ottomans (Islamofascists) seized his parent's property. The problem is not Arabs, the problem is Islam itself.

This is truly turning into the "Holy War" the nutso Islamics have wanted for years. I have held off believing that people who are Islamic are insane, by brainwashing or birth. But I have officially changed my mind. I am a bigot. I am anti-Islamic and have no use for those who follow it.

Freep that poll. 84%- no apology needed.

Write this down.. I agree with you completely. I'm baffled by the number of Americans who don't see Islam for what it is.

HI JADED! Haven't seen you in a few days, hehe.

What else should they think? After all they have the example of the Fox reporter and his cameraman. If they threaten death, any Christian will gladly give up his religion and bow down to Mohammed. Why should the Pope be any different.

We need to put on the armor and declare "This far and no further" Check the example of any number of persons in the Old Testament. Check also the Martyrs during the enlightment.

We need as strong a faith as those people had.

"Gazans warn pope to accept Islam"

Memo to Philistine "gazans": People in hell want ice water, but that ain't gonna happen either!

[Convert from ECUSA]

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Amen, right on, and nailed it with a great big hammer, AAC!

[sheik yerbouty]

If I were the Pope, my answer would be "Nuts!"

[Traianus]

...KHALIL GIBRAM was a MARONITE CATHOLIC, remember....

[DoctorMichael]

Voted (84% now)

Pope Benedict XVI, that was Brilliant, now the entire world knows the truth, Islam is without common dialogue, it knows only violence and evil, there can be no doubt.. unless you're insane.

[ZULU]

I hope so.

This war has been going on too long - since the 600's

It them or us.

[AmericanArchConservative]

Yeah, I know - sometimes it feels good to rant, though...

[SlayerOfBunnies]

Citing the words of the Prophet Muhammad, Muslim religious leaders in the Gaza Strip on Sunday warned Pope Benedict XVI that he must "accept" Islam if he wanted to live in peace.

Dopey 9th century people. You misspelled annihilate.

Fat finger syndrome strikes again!

LOL; suffer the same and often. . .

THAT said. . .just did not think the comment exactly 'begged' interpretation; but nice of you to 'go there'.

And right; it was in the context - of what the post is about - and every other headline re the Pope. . .considering as well, they are upupping the ante as we speak. . .Upping the 'ante' not just for what they want FROM the Pope. . .but for what they want FOR the Pope; for uttering a truth to begin with.

No question they want the 'Papacy' - the Pope on his knees. . .an inferior and weakened position. . ,and should he go there; they would 'pull the rug' and demand more. And already have. Pope Benedict, meantime, has sent his regrets; and while there can be no doubt the misundersanding is THEIRS; they refuse to be placated.

And so it began with their demanding an explanation. . . an apology. . .then specifically wanting him to ask/beg. . .for their 'forgiveness'. . .(for sure on 'bend and knee' would have followed. . .can we next imagine the howls demanding that the Pope lie prostrate in St. Peter's Square(?)). . .And then. . .what: The Pope's HEAD, of couse. . Which is what they are calling for now.

. . .and ALL for making 'right' with Allah. . .

At the least, they want to weaken and embarrass the Vatican. . .at the most .they want to destroy the Vatican and the Pope with it.

Give them a decent inch. . .and they will stretch it beyond it's breaking point.
