Now if this entire kissey-kissey was so true, there would be no end to the crowing. It would be more than our Calvinist etc. friends crowing here.

But the silence is deafening...

There was plenty of noise all over the internet concerning the event. Even here on FR, with the bulk of the commentary being by Catholics. The image has also been posted on numerous occasions, most often in "negative" or critical context.

It took only a few minutes of searching to find some Muslim commentary, the first I found included some "crowing".

"You have a point there ,but a fact is the Pope did not KISS THE TORAH OR ANY OTHER HOLY BOOK ,

The Truth stands apart from error !!!"

Interrupted by another poster there with

"i think he knew tat it was the only book which is unchanged but we cant guess wat was on his mind........ "[sic]

Which is a slight attempt at crowing, but honestly modified with "but we can only guess what was on his mind" part.
To which the original cock-a doodle-do spin doctor replied with;

"All I want to say is the Pope was not seen Kissing any other Holy Book beside his Bible , the only Book he Kissed apart from Bible was the Holy Quran , I am not talking about this delegations of Muslims , I am talking about the whole life of the Pope ,I am not defending the Pope but I am saying Islam is the Truth and one day all will recognize it whether they like it or not - AL"

excerpted from 123muslim.com

The claim that there was "no end to crowing" seems to imply there was none at all? There was some, (whether you heard it or not) which badly weakens your claims. I think your various thesis concerning "crowing", are beyond salvage at this point.

How about some sort of actual proof to the contrary, like a link to some sort of solid testimony that the book was not the koran?

Lack of that, is the only "deafening silence" to be heard in regards to this issue.

you google up something on the 'net and think that means they were crowing about it? Really?

Go visit any place in the Moslem world and ask mullahs, intellectuals (or what passes for that there), the elite or even the common man if they think what you claim happened actually did and there is deafening silence.

Being an armchair opinionator doesn't cut it, 7MM -- visit the places and/or meet people really there or meet Moslems in the US and ask and then talk.

until then your words and opinions are as relevant as a DC democrat blogger talking about Texas Republicans.
