The recent remarks made by Pope Benedict XVI on Islam are threatening to ignite the entire Muslim world.
Op-Eds published in the Arab newspapers slammed the pope even after the Vatican’s apology.
The most extreme opinion was voiced by Hani Pahas in the London-based Arabic-language daily newspaper Al-Hayat, who wrote “the pope’s comments may lead to war; we fear that the pope’s statements may lead to a war that we, Muslims and Christians alike, are trying to prevent through dialogue between East and West.
Hussein Shabakshy wrote in an article published by the London-based Arabic-language newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat “It is clear that such remarks only contribute to the fueling of the fire raging between Islam and the West. There is no difference between Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri speaking from their caves in Tora Bora and the stage of an important Christian saint. Both parties contribute to the world verbal weapons for mass destruction.”
“The pope’s latest statement cannot be considered a slip of the tongue or a comic bit from a TV show; the situatio0n here is different, and his remarks are indicative of an important and highly symbolic stance toward the religion (Islam) and the prophet of about a billion and-a-half Muslims,” he said.
“These are ignorant comments previously made by Adolf Hitler, who spoke of a supreme white race against all the other races, especially the African race.
Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood said a Vatican statement on Saturday saying Pope Benedict was sorry for upsetting Muslims with his comments on Islam did not go far enough.
"We want a personal apology (from the Pope). We feel that he has committed a grave error against us and that this mistake will only be removed through a personal apology," Muslim Brotherhood Deputy Leader Mohammed Habib told Reuters.

Fine, lets play cowboys and Muslims.
"The sooner the better."I agree.They're only going to get stronger,the longer we wait.
LOL! You understand that the world is already at war with Islam. I would think they knew that themselves!
Bring it on!
Dood! That was an excellent post.
Is that Slim Pickens?
1) it really doesn't matter whether the Pope personally apologizes or not.
2) it wouldn't matter if the Pope kissed the Koran as a sign of further dhimmitude.
3) it wouldn't matter if the Pope told Western Civilization to ask for forgiveness from these pigs.
4) it wouldn't matter if the Pope converted to Islam.
5) and it wouldn't matter if the Pope cut off his own head.
These sun-baked crazies have a 1,000 year-old chip on their collective shoulders and they're itching with madness for an excuse.
We're well past the point of apologies with these 2-year-olds. I say, turn on the firehose and just effing drown these bastards with public insults. MORE cartoons, MORE telling-it-like-it is.
Hopefully, these nutjobs will just go so insane with impotent rage that they'll either completely slaughter each other in riots (more than they already do now), or they'll simply drop dead from burst blood vessels.
I am absolutely sick of our elected leaders pussyfooting around these idiots. Drop leaflets on these bozos with a picture of Uncle Sam giving them the middle finger.
Is there any doubt what these animals will do if they get the chance? The only difference between the '93 WTC attack and the '01 attack was that the '01 attack succeeded. What will be the difference between the '01 attack and the next one?
All this BS in the world is the result of
1. Liberals controlling the world's media
2. Lack of a united front between the USA and Europe
3. Lack of complete unity in the USA
All the problems are INTERNAL to the western nationals
Muslims are nothing but backward pathetic nothings
If the west was united in spirit the muslims would be a big nothing as far as a threat . United military action in Iraq Afganistan and Iran would have ended this years ago
But they sense the west's internal weakness and that is what keeps them going
All conservatives, Republicans and Americans should start saying the following words. Firmly, and without hesitation:
NO I will not apologize.
There. See how easy that is.
NO I will not apologize.
Simple as that.
Most excellent analytic thinking!
Okay.
" I want war now while I'm able to fight, and before my daughters must."
I'm a reserve Lt Colonel, but I'm starting to show my age (44) so if it is going to go loud I want it now. My girls are 13 and 9 and I want them to be free from fear of the Islmaic nutjobs.
I do not think there ever has been a time in world history when Catholics, Jews and Protestants have stood together against a common enemy. We can't lose...
(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )
Maybe it's time to give them what they are ITCHING for.
It wasn't an apology, tho. He said he was sorry his remarks offended them or something. I love this Pope, and I sure am praying for his safety. Because assassination is one of their 'things' and if he were assassinated, there'd be a lot of really MAD people.
That is a great idea. Every day, some prominent person who can get in the news says the Truth about Islam. They will jump-up-and-down to DEATH. And we will be sane, because we will be speaking the truth.
