MUSLIMS RIGHT TO BE ANGRY
Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights ^ | 01/07/2015 | Bill Donohue

Killing in response to insult, no matter how gross, must be unequivocally condemned. That is why what happened in Paris cannot be tolerated. But neither should we tolerate the kind of intolerance that provoked this violent reaction.

According to this wiki...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquisition

The Inquisition is[1] a group of institutions within the judicial system of the Roman Catholic Church whose aim is to combat heresy. It started in 12th-century France to combat religious sectarianism, in particular the Cathars and the Waldensians. Other groups which were investigated later include the Spiritual Franciscans, the Hussites (followers of Jan Hus) and Beguines. Beginning in the 1250s, inquisitors were generally chosen from members of the Dominican Order, to replace the earlier practice of using local clergy as judges.[2] The term Medieval Inquisition covers these courts up through the 14th century.

In the Late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, the concept and scope of the Inquisition was significantly expanded in response to the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation. Its geographic scope was expanded to other European countries,[3] resulting in the Spanish Inquisition and Portuguese Inquisition. Those two kingdoms in particular operated inquisitorial courts throughout their respective empires (Spanish and Portuguese) in the Americas (resulting in the Peruvian Inquisition and Mexican Inquisition), Asia, and Africa.[4] One particular focus of the Spanish and Portuguese inquisitions was the issue of Jewish anusim and Muslim converts to Catholicism, partly because these minority groups were more numerous in Spain and Portugal than in many other parts of Europe, and partly because they were often considered suspect due to the assumption that they had secretly reverted to their previous religions.

Except within the Papal States, the institution of the Inquisition was abolished in the early 19th century, after the Napoleonic wars in Europe and after the Spanish American wars of independence in the Americas. The institution survived as part of the Roman Curia, but in 1904 was given the new name of “Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office”. In 1965 it became the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

Actually, Bill Donohue does not speak for ALL Catholics. Obviously.

Reading the Good Book, I found a verse about being angry and sin not.

People are going to make you angry. If we try to get rid of everything that makes people angry we will have to do universal lobotomies.

Since there will always be people who offend us then what is the solution?

It is found in the "sin not". You can be angry. You can write letters, you can protest, you can avoid those people and their product.

But "sin not" don't burn down their stuff, don't kill them, don't threaten them, don't try to put them in jail.

Sin not.

And let it go by the end of the day.

That is the next verse.

Something that Mr Donohue should meditate on for a few decades.

Sure, they can be angry all they want, what they don’t have is the right to act upon that anger by taking another person’s life or property.

But as we all know, Islamic Culture and Basic Impulse control are mutually exclusive...

What do feminists do if the Muslim man is outraged by a slut walk and sees it as his right to rape or kill them?

It is amazing the number of people who don't know that "but" removes/negates everything that precedes it.

You don't understand language...do you?

How..about this....

"But, on the other hand...."

Help you out much?

Granted...that's not what was written. I get that...."but" you should know how the word is used.

Why? Christians have to tolerate it and unless everyone is OK telling atheists it will be illegal to insult Christ then I don’t see what can be done...

Free speech...

I’d like to see you guys in real life take on the Muslims. In this forum you remind me of Democratic Undergrounders, hiding in your mother’s basement.

Satan wants us believers reacting and angry. Perpetual outrage. This IS NOT OUR HERITAGE! We know the end of the wicked, so we can be BOLD and yet kind to wicked men in the hope of saving some (re: apostle Paul’s attitude).

I know, this from a fallen creature who can go nuclear in a heartbeat. Yet my heart agrees with the above. We have the Spirit of Christ in us! Just how much flak from the world can He take and still shine forth?!?!

How long have you been frequenting Democratic Underground?

Semantic Fallacy!

Publishing cartoons of Mohammed is not a "kind of intolerance."

Killing people even though they have not physically attacked you, on the other hand, is intolerance.

Maybe if you stopped following Catholics around, you’d get out more.
