What? He hasn't healed THAT 1000-year-old schism yet!? What's he been doing for the past year?
WELL Said! Here is my comment - Islam is a religion like the Borg - assimilate or DIE!
Ah, bullshit! Muslims are spring-loaded to have only one position, the pissed-off position. Let's be real. There, fixed it...
the infowarrior
Turning the other cheek is fine, but Jesus said nothing about having to turn it more than once. So while I understood JP II's desire for peaceful solutions, treating the muslims with kid gloves was never a realistic approach to solving the muslim problem. Our tolerance of modern-day muslim violence should have stopped long ago.
Since when is the truth a "blunder." I was proud of the Pope for saying it like it is. If the Muslims cannot accept what there religion is teaching then they have the problem.
Sorry, it was NOT a blunder and it shows that he truly GETS it and is courageous in speaking the Truth. Finally, SOMEBODY who is bold to NOT be PC and to 'offend Muslim sensibilities' and call a spade a spade.
Or to name Satan as such.
Praise God for this good man.
Given the magnitude of the questions they beg, you'd think the scribblers at Breitbart.com would have been proud to sign their names to this pusillanimous piece of character assassination.
If the these Muslims want a "holy" war... it will not be pretty (for them).
why, with the media, is ia "all about us?" maybe there are those who can read/interpret all on their own and not worry about how the media spins any given situation ?
"Blunder"???
Balderdash!!
I thought that the Pope nailed it PERFECTLY!!!
No doubt the Holy Father knew exactly what he was saying and the Muslims have indeed made fools of themselves (again) in their reaction.
But I hope all those reading and saying that "finally someone in the West will speak the Truth" will also read the rest of that speech. Was it not mostly directed at the secular West where we pretend that science and reason are divorced from religion? He was still speaking the Truth here, no? Here, the challenge is for us. It is good that he named the spade a spade; may it help us in the West to trust him when he preaches the Gospel!!
It's kind of like having a your kid call you by your first name. No respect. If my kid called me by my first name, I'd smack 'em upside the head.
That's exactly what the Pontiff did to these idiots: Smacked 'em upside the head.
God Bless him and pray for his safety. These guys are nuts.
As others have noted, Islam appears to be a religion with no sense of irony. It is quite predictable that Muslims around the world will protest this suggestion that Islam has violent tendencies by . . . violent demonstrations and maybe a few kidnappings and beheadings.
Good grief, the Pope spoke the TRUTH!
backhoe,
The Muslims are still "stuck on stupid".

FYI...an excellent summary of what is going on...
They're just like the RATS. They love to dish it out, but are so thin-skinned that even a mild critisiscm will turn them even more nuts than they already are. His Holiness said nothing wrong, IMO.
The media, in their normal way of doing things, cause the blunders. Why? Because they are undereducated and don't understand speech when someone with an intelligent command uses it.
Not that I'm saying Benedict is God incarnate. He must being doing something right, if Satan's stepchildren want to cut his head off.
