Pope John Paul was canonized a Saint, but Benedict will be a Doctor of the Catholic Church, of that I have no doubt.

No, God doesn’t, but Allah does.

Benedict wanted to clarify that the roots of this violence lie in a perversion of Islam, not its authentic theology. Somebody is smoking that wacky tabacky. The violence is a result of following the teachings of Mohamed, as written.

ISIS and Al Qaeda are practicing the original 7th Century Koran/Islam which definitely teaches “Kill any who fail to convert to Islam.” They do not recognize any writings that are done after the Koran of the early 600s as being valid.
And I cannot believe that the God who is the Father of Jesus would so radically change what He sent Jesus here to teach us and call us to Him would change his mind and give a new message to Mohammed. Thus I do not accept “Allah” as being the same God whom we as Christians and Jews worship.

If God is a person, and not some metaphysical, impersonal force, or fabrication resulting from fear of the unknown, Allah can’t be God, Yahweh, Elohim. Neither can Jesus and Mohammed be said to represent the same person.

I am astounded at the ignorance of some that maintain Islam is a religion of peace. Islam is a 7th century death cult founded by a sociopathic thug, thief, murderer, pedophile, misogynist that had hallucinations and epileptic fits. As for me, I prefer the Son of God and not some ranting lunatic. Any who embrace people practicing Islam court suicide. There is no peaceful coexistence with Islam because their “religion” does not permit it. Under Islam your choices are: death, conversion, or slavery.

ISLAM AND REASON
In interpreting God's laws, there is a principle in Islamic jurisprudence which states, "Reason is not a legislator." In other words, the only laws that apply to you are the ones God gave you. Reason has no authority or status in creating laws, or even in interpreting them. The political consequences of such a view are easy to see: If reason is not a legislator, then why have legislatures at all? They have no standing, because reason has no standing.
