Iraqis burn an effigy of Pope Benedict XVI during a demonstration, in Basra, Iraq's second-largest city, 550 kilometers (340 miles) southeast of Baghdad, Monday Sept.18, 2006.The demonstration was against his speech last week in Germany, particularly his quoting of a medieval text that characterized some of the teachings of Islam's founder as 'evil and inhuman' and referred to spreading Islam 'by the sword.' Benedict said Sunday that he is 'deeply sorry' his remarks on Islam. (AP Photo/Nabil Al- Jurani)

Benedict said Sunday that he is 'deeply sorry' his remarks on Islam

That's not what he said AP!! He said, "I am deeply sorry for the reactions in some countries to a few passages of my address at the University of Regensburg, which were considered offensive to the sensibility of Muslims. These in fact were a quotation from a medieval text, which do not in any way express my personal thought."

I have a good idea on how we can defeat Islam. Just keep makinig 'offensive' comments like these and the Islamowhackos will riot themselves to extinction.

Winston Churchill On Islam

A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill, "The River War", in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener's campaign in the Sudan

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.

If they hated Crusades v.1 they will really detest v.2.

Just another great example of why all this will lead to the civilized world long term having to deal with Islam like you would a rattle snake found where you live. What do you go?

Eventually this will be done to all of them, because the only reason they have been allowed to get away with the death and destruction of things related to other faiths is everyone else has been tolerant of their ignorance and uncivilized culture.

Eventually they will be dealt with harshly IMO.

Hi, does anyone know where Sinkspur has been? I generally see what his take is on anything to do with Roman Catholicism, but he has not posted on FR in a couple of weeks. I hope he is okay!

If these clowns would get a job and do something productive with their lives this wouldn't be happening.

Ignorant, lazy, Muslim Bump.

[Juana la Loca]

Amen, brother. Who'd a thought they would ever rise above throwing rocks.

[Pyro7480]

I love that Churchill quote. I posted it a few months ago.

[guido911]

[Bringbackthedraft]

Geeeeeez, another Muslim Mob? Thousands gathering for the event no doubt, as per the MSM. Look at them all.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

[Tzimisce]

When we said "Free Speech", we didn't mean for you!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

If these clowns adapted to modern society, they probably would have jobs by now.

They have the same Stone Age mentality... The difference now is that they have WMD's available to them. A Globally Lethal combination.
