Yes, of course, you're right. But you see, the problem is that I, like so many of my fellow Americans, am up to "here" with Islam. I've had enough of this religion, this religion of disdain, derision, hatred, and violence for those who will not convert. And so, you can see why so many have had a quick and perhaps less than thoughtful reaction to the news.
This Pope's only sin seems to be that he actually had the guts to speak the truth about Islam even if only through an indirect argument and a reference to a quote from the distant past. Regardless of whether the Pope actually agrees with the premise is immaterial, at least from a political perspective.
What does matter is that he uttered the truth about Islam. And that's what Islam cannot tolerate, and hence the angry reaction.
It's not just the Muslims. It's not just haters of Muslims.
And, believe me, I've had it with the Islamofascist and the "moderate Muslims" who continue to fail to deal with them.
Even devout Catholics are totally foolish about this!
The Pope's address had nothing to do with Islam at all! It was meant to encourage ACADEMIA to be more inclusive in their definition of what is considered "rational"!
If he was invoking Islam at all, it was merely to say that even that a radical "God doesn't have to be rational or consistent" viewpoint should be given consideration in academic thought.
