POPE = HITLER? ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF MUSLIM OVERKILL.
Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights ^ | September 15, 2006 | Dr. William Donohue

Posted on 09/15/2006 2:03:37 PM PDT by Ebenezer

Catholic League president Bill Donohue commented today on the latest Muslim reaction to Pope Benedict XVI’s address at Regensburg University on September 12:

“It is a mark of a civilized people that they answer discourse they find disagreeable in a rational manner. Sadly, many Muslims are responding to the pope’s speech in an irrational way, making true dialogue next to impossible. To compare the pope to Hitler, as a high-ranking Turkish official did, is the mark of an uncivilized person. To burn the pope in effigy, as the thugs in Srinagar, India, have done, is also the mark of incivility. Both are classic examples of Muslim overkill.

“Ironically, these pathetic examples underscore the central message of the pope’s address: he was beckoning the world to embrace both faith and reason. Reason unhinged from faith delivers a debased conception of mankind, the result of which has often been violence on a grand scale. But it is also true that faith unhinged from reason is capable of delivering the same outcome. Sadly, this part of the pope’s message has gone unheard in much of the Islamic world.

“Pope Benedict XVI is a brilliant philosopher and theologian. He offers so much to so many, and that is why it is sad to see this kind of reaction. Fortunately, he is also a courageous man, and will not be intimidated from speaking the truth.”

Killing over and over--trademark of muslims. That's overkill, right?

I think that comes from not knowing what Hitler was. I wonder if any of them even studied Hitler beyond he was a bad guy. Just a few of Hitler's high points

1. He tried to exterminate Jews.
2. He tried to exterminate ethnic unlike people.
3. He tortured, maimed and killed innocent people.
4. He was a megalomaniac that believed he was the one to cleanse the world of his version of undesirables.
5. He was able to use his oratory skill to whip people into violent nationalistic actions.
6. He used occult and psuedo-religous symbolism as a justification of evil actions.

Yup.... sounds just like the pope.

Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Al-Amin Husseini, Yasser Arafat's uncle.

Is this the same Mufti that met with Hitler in 1941 and made an agreement to kill the Jews and in return recruited for Hitler's armies? After the war the brave Mufti fled through Germany to Egypt. So what is new with the Arabs and Islam--nothing--they still want to kill the Jews. We best pay attention because I do believe the way to eternity is through the care we take of the chosen ones. Isn't "Land for Peace" giving away the land they were given by the Almighty?

Not Catholic, but I like this Pope. I think this is the first step to waking the sleeping Western giant to the terrible danger of islam. In the same speech, he urged the West to embrace (re-embrace?) Christianity.

He also once said that he thinks that Islam is not reformable.

Go Benedict! (But keep your head down)

When someone makes that comparison it's to cover over their own nazism.

Faith unhinged from reason is exactly what is the problem with those folks. The Pope's message was heard and understood, they just don't like hearing the truth.

Yeah, just like him... I agree, it's amazing how ignorant people are concerning Hitler.

How does calling the Pope Hitler fit in with Amanutjob's holocaust denial?

In following your link, I also encountered Benford's law, for my first time.

Wikipedia: "A crude and approximate statement of Benford's law, also called the first-digit law, is that in lists of numbers from many real-life sources of data, the leading digit is 1 almost one-third of the time, and further, larger numbers occur as the leading digit with less and less frequency as they grow in magnitude, to the point that 9 is the leading digit less than one time in twenty."

Love it!

The Mufti also helped many Nazis escape to the Middle East, mainly to Egypt and Syria.

Heinrich Himmler had a thing for Islam. He wished Germany was an Islamic nation. Same goes with Adolf Eichmann. Adolf Hitler was said to admire to Islam for its war-like tendencies.
