In the Muslim World, self-criticism is seen as leading to doubt and apotasy from Islam. The mere questioning of Islamic tenets, even if only to strengthen one's faith, is punishable by death.

A particularly egregious example:

Pakistan Shows Its True Colors

At the urging of hard-line clerics in Islamabad, Pakistani police last year arrested Younis Sheikh, a medical lecturer, under Pakistan's draconian blasphemy laws, and in August, an Islamabad judge sentenced him to be hanged, USA Today reports.

Sheikh languishes in a jail in nearby Rawalpindi, waiting for Pakistan's High Court to hear his appeal. The mullahs of Islamabad say he defamed the prophet Mohammed when he told students the prophet's parents weren't Muslim because they died before God revealed Islam to their son. Despite an international outcry over the Younis Sheikh case and his own campaign to rid Pakistan of Islamic extremism, President Pervez Musharraf has shown little stomach so far for a showdown with Muslim militants over the country's blasphemy laws.

In "If Iraq, Iran, and North Korea Are the 'Axis of Evil,' Why Is Pakistan an Ally?" research fellow Leon Hadar writes that, "Pakistan's government, led by an unreliable military clique that is assisting radical Islamic terrorist groups in Kashmir, pressing for a war with India, and presiding over a corrupt and mismanaged economy, has been a recipient of vast sums of U.S. military and financial aid."

You described the Swiss flag as being a white flag with a red cross, but as I recall from my Swiss-in-laws, the Swiss flag is a square red flag with a white cross.

What you seem to be describing is the flag of the Red Cross (ICRC)

Perhaps I missed something? Is there some sort of Templar connection with the ICRC?

I thought the Swiss flag was originally the flag of the Canton of Schwyz, developed in the 1200's.

But maybe I wrong?

"A couple of days ago, Rush Limbaugh failed to realize this. He was blindsided by a woman caller who got him to say on the air the Islam is the ROP!!!"

Since I listen to him every day, I would have noticed. Please provide the exact quote in context, the date it was stated, and in which of the three hours / time of day it was made. I have the MP-3's of his programs on my computer and can retrieve, and transcribe it as soon as you point it out.

If the "Muslim religious scholars" who are now attacking the Roman Catholic Pope's comments actually want to be believed in their profession of a "peacful" Islam, then they can quit standing up to excuse and defend every form of inhuman degradation perpetrated by Isamic terrorists around the Middle East, simply because those terrorists are Muslims.

Absent Islamic terrorism, which is based on Islamic religious intolerance and Islamic intolerance of diverse world cultures, there would not have been an Israeli-Palestinian conflict that has continued now for almost sixty years and Osama and the millions of Osama clones would not have found the support they have in Muslim societies.

While stage-managing their own world-political agenda, for the myth that they are "victims" and that existence of Israel is an example of racism, it is in fact their religious xenophobia and intolerance towards Jews that is the obvious racism.

The only "crime" to Israel's existence is that Jews were determined to have at least one place in the world where they would not live ever again under the Dhimmitude of Muslims or the anti-semitism of Europeans; a goal of national self-determination that they had every right to strive for and achieve; a goal that was rightfully centered on the ancient homeland of the Jews - Israel.

The Israel of 1948 would have been a miniscule shadow of its current dimensions and created no Arab refugees. Instead of culturally and religiously accepting a tolerant peaceful co-existence with that tiny state, the Muslims, the Arabs, with all their vast Muslim and Arab dominated lands in the world, tried to obliterate Israel. By doing so, they created the security requirements for a much larger Israel, in order for Israel to defend its existence.

If Muslims and Arabs think that Israel or the world is going to go back to 1948 and 1948 borders, on new promises of peace that Israel has waited sixty years for, then the Muslims and Arabs are still living in an alternate reality of the myths that they have spun for themselves. And if so, then their continued belief in those myths will make their past failures look small by comparison.

They are in a sucicidal cycle of self-perpetuating myths that fail and with each failure perversely reinforcing the myth. Who knows how big the catastrophe must be to break them of it.

Look to the religious wars in Central Europe during 16th century and see what enraged Christians can do.

Those were religious European Christians. Now we have secular Europe that wants to avoid a war at all costs.

Well said, I agree. I can however praise those men in the Catholic church, individuals, who have done so much to spread Gods word worldwide.

While Catholicism is encumbered by the ambitions of men, at the core is still the immutable word of God.

IMO, we're just a stone's throw away from it now.

Qaradawi was quoted as telling al-Jazeera television that the pope should "apologize to the Muslim nation for insulting its religion, its prophet and its beliefs or we will kill him." /sarcasm (I think)

"Perhaps I missed something? Is there some sort of Templar connection with the ICRC"

Oddly, yes. The Red Cross was founded by a York Rite Freemason named Jean Henri Dunant about 1860 or so.

(The York Rite is the expressly Christian-only branch of the fraternity.)

The current state of the organization would have the man (a lay preacher) spinning in his grave.

The answer is very simple. Pakistan has nuclear weapons and the current government is at peace with the US and will not allow the nukes to be used in a religious jihad.

The Pakistani government is fragile and sits on top of nation with about 60% of population being radical, Al Qaida supporting, Muslims.

Pakistani government needs all the help we can give it to protect those nukes.

Should the current Paki government fall to the zealots we WILL have to take military control over those nukes, and prop up a new government.

Our survival depends upon it. The current government has allowed us to build 3 new military bases in their country (not widely publicised)

Militant Islam will nuke us without regard to their own survival. We are allies with Pak government to prevent their takeover.

Give em time....
give em time.

"Muslims are ENRAGED by________"
This could EASILY be a DAILY headline with a new word filled into the blank.
If the Pope would stand by his words and say something to the effect that "Yes, that is what I said and it is the TRUTH, etc." this Baptist girl would be VERRRY impressed.

Muslims need to visit a SMALL southern Baptist church one Sunday if they want to REALLY get pissed off!

Sadly, the megachurches in the cities are caving to the PC crowds and watering down the message about homos and Muslims.

No they were not invented by them. But way back before the printing press, every single bible was written by hand. And before it was written it was spoken. If anyone with a pen could write that bible as they interpreted it, what would we have today? One word change can entirely change the meaning of something. So did someone other than the evil cult assume that responsibility?

I will not be spiritually subvervient to any man (who are sinners) as required by the Catholic church.

Then you disobey the Bible, which commands obedience to church leadership in Hebrews 13:17, among other places.

Take your anti-Catholic rant to the religion board, where it belongs.
