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.”

"To compare the pope to Hitler..."

How about collectively invoking Godwin's Law and telling Muslims that they've lost the debate.

The Pope can't be Hitler. Bush is Hitler. Gee whiz, get with the program.

So if Muslims are comparing the Pope with Hitler, this means that they LIKE Benedict XVI, right?

So would this be the Islamo-fascist Muslims or the "Religion of Peace©" Muslims who are reacting in this manner?....I get confused and my scorecard apparently is'nt up to date....

The Muslims and Democrats have something in common these days, in that they both think a lot of people are Hitler other than themselves, of course.

Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Al-Amin Husseini, Yasser Arafat's uncle. Also, influenced Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Gamal Nasser, and Yasser Arafat. Many Nazis fled to the Middle East, mainly Egypt and Syria. Also, ODESSA operated there and many Nazis went through the Middle East before heading to Argentina.

To most IslamoNazis, Hitler was a hero since they both hated Jews.

Planned riots are just another example of Muslim overkill on top of Suicide Bombings, hijackings, beheadings, Jihads, goofy sadistic videotapes...

You'd think that coming from Muslims any comparison to Hitler would be a tremendous compliment. Given how much they hate Jews and all the horrible things they want to happen to the Jews you'd think Hitler would be a Muslim hero.
