The Other White Meat

He actually took a pinch of Jewish ritual law, a large handful of pagan moon worship, a bit of the still somewhat Arianized Christianity that was circulating in that area, and added his own personal lust for power (among other things). In the very unstable world of the times, where there was no longer a strong military power or much unity in the Church, it proved to be a winning combination, particularly the fact that he was heavily armed and came from a tribe with a long tradition of raids and banditry.
Me too. LOL
If they just stick to cartoons, that's fine.
That would only seem fair. We should also hijack Muslim commuter flights and crash them into their tallest buildings. And burn their cars......
Ahem....well then, we could burn their camels and crash them into their tallest tents.
And then there's American humor:
"Und ziss is how vee say goodbye in Germany, Doctor Jones."
Obviously pornographic. Four "X's" no less!
LOL

If they want to put a cartoon involving shooting in Saint Peter's Square, why don't they put up a cartoon of
A MUSLIM TURK
shooting
JOHN PAUL II on May 31, 1981?
Maybe they could follow it with a picture of
JOHN PAUL II visiting the piece of sheeite in his prison cell.
Apparently they didn't learn anything from JOHN PAUL II.
And obviously there isn't one Ay-a-hole-ah in the whole Muslim world who is intelligent enough to have a theological discussion with POPE BENEDICT XVI.
The whole Western world will forever be grateful to this Pope for giving Islam the world-stage in which to prove - just about three days - that every negative stereotype and criticism ever posited about them was true - and then some.
And where are the famed "moderate Muslim leaders" we're always hearing so much about?
Apparently, if there are any, not one of them has a sack with a pair of onions.
Then tonight President Bush was shaking hands and proclaiming some Muslim leader he met up with in NYC to be "just the type of moderate Muslim we can do business with in an enlightened democracy." I thought I could hear the strains of the Andy Griffith "Mayberry" theme in the background.
Maybe Jay Severan was right after all when he said on the radio in Boston years ago that these folks are about one rung up from sand monkeys.
A German scholar of ancient languages takes a new look at the sacred book of Islam. He maintains that it was created by Syro-Aramaic speaking Christians, in order to evangelize the Arabs. And he translates it in a new way.
That Aramaic was the lingua franca of a vast area of the ancient Middle East is a notion that is by now amply noted by a vast public, thanks to Mel Gibson´s film "The Passion of the Christ," which everyone watches in that language.
But that Syro-Aramaic was also the root of the Koran, and of the Koran of a primitive Christian system, is a more specialized notion, an almost clandestine one. And it´s more than a little dangerous. The author of the most important book on the subject - a German professor of ancient Semitic and Arabic languages - preferred, out of prudence, to write under the pseudonym of Christoph Luxenberg. A few years ago, one of his colleagues at the University of Nablus in Palestine, Suliman Bashear, was thrown out of the window by his scandalized Muslim students.

And there there is nothing the women can do.
Pope Benedict -- theologian of a higher caliber
Reciprocity?
"I find this offensive. Shall we kidnap and behead the first Muslims we see?"
Yes
This cartoon is very offensive to what the Pope really stands for. Will there be throngs of outraged Christians denouncing the nation that published this cartoon, and Christian terrorist acts against innocent Muslims not involved in its publication?
Because the mooslims are so peaceful, the arabs never have occasion to describe explosions. Only in the hostile violent West was there a need to invent such words as "Blam!"
I can't imagine two honest and literate people in the world who would not think that all those doves of JPII were shot down long ago by mooslims. Papa Benedict was simply noting that such acts are evil, sadly acknowledging that since the world's premier ambassador of love/freedom/peace failed to successfully sell those ideas to the mooslims the sane and thinking world must now deal with that reality.
