(Freedom of speech makes it easier to spot the idiots! Semper Fi!)
In his lecture, the Pope quoted, among others, the 14th century Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologos who wrote that Mohammad had brought things "only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."
The Pope, who used the terms "jihad" and "holy war" in his lecture, added in his own words: "Violence is incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of the soul".

Yes. It is his time and place to confront them directly and to correct publically their evil misdirection. May he continue to speak out against their evil works and machinations.

Only way for the Religion of Peace to react to this insult: go out and kill a bunch of people. Any people. Even they're own people. It doesn't matter. If you're Muslim, and somebody criticizes you in any way, you have to go out and murder somebody. That's why we call it the Religion of Peace.

OK, now it's up to 'them'.
I would like to see the Pope now challenge the leaders and clerics of Islam to put out a 'fatwah'--condemning to hell, any maniac that kills innocent people in the name of Islam.

Okay then! This is a good thing!

I hope he keeps this up and makes himself very visible and active in this regard for a very long time to come. It is an excellent approach.

Faith dialogue is impossible with Islam. I would love to see Pope Benedict point out that Christ taught us to call God our Father. In Islam, this is blasphemy. Allah is a slave master to whom you are to submit.
Want to end a faith dialogue real quick? Just begin saying the "Our Father" and it will be over. We have no common faith ground and we are not worshipping the same God.

"Violence is incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of the soul".
Half right? Considering the sin nature we are born into vioence seems quite compatible with the flesh; maybe the Pope wasn't in 'the zone' when he said this.

At his university lecture, Benedict, a leading theologian who has always drawn clear lines between Roman Catholicism and other faiths, also appeared to criticize Protestant churches and contemporary Third World theologians for not stressing the link between faith and reason clearly enough. What does the Pope mean by the above? Protestant churches in any event cover the gamut.

I don't think the musli hordes will be impressed by the Pope or by ancient Greek wisdom.
To: kellynla
based on the premise that the concept of an Islamic "holy war" is unreasonable and against God's nature. Oh, no. In light of these disparaging comments, I'm betting on another Islam-inspired Papal assassination attempt.
