Don't back down Pope.
Hey Muzzies....try to civilize yourselves.
Hell, the muslims here in America didn't even apologize.
What does it say about a religion that riots, burns people in effigy and incites general chaos when their leader is mocked by an unbeliever?
"In West Bank attacks on four churches, Palestinians used guns, firebombs and lighter fluid, leaving church doors charred and walls scorched by flames and pocked with bullet holes. Nobody was reported injured. Two Catholic churches, an Anglican one and a Greek Orthodox one were hit. A Greek Orthodox church was also attacked in Gaza City."
Ahhh yes...
The wonderful, peaceful, tolerant religion of Islam.
I wonder if the talking heads on TV and our political leaders would classify these acts as coming from "radical fundamentalist muslims" or just your average peace-loving tolerant muslims who are simply offended? Does it really matter?
G-Max
Despite the purposely misleading headlines, the Pope has NOT apologized.
And I don't believe he will. He certainly shouldn't.
The truth requires no apolgy.
Jack.
Now we see the violence inherent the system!
Indeed he should not apologize. He said nothing wrong, but I guess the truth hurts
Say whaaaaaat?
The Pope needs to have a chat with this Padre.
It's gotten to the point where muslims can blame non-muslims for muslim violence. These imams strike me as being little more than leaders of a particularly dumb, violent mob. Benedict should not apologize. He should reaffirm what he said instead.
The Pope quoted a 14th Century Emperor. The Islamos are stuck in the 14th Century anyway. They think the words are current. Next, they will be demanding the head of that Emperor.
The only thing the pope did was prove he was correct after the middle-easts reaction on Friday.
"The Pope quoted a 14th Century Emperor. The Islamos are stuck in the 14th Century anyway. They think the words are current. Next, they will be demanding the head of that Emperor."
They're stuck in the 7th Century. They have a 7th Century attitude towards human life and government and certainly have a 7th Century attitude towards the status of women. And little boys.
His Holiness is perhaps a tad too apologetic - the only thing that these jihadis respect is strength. But I agree that JPII was more suited for the Cold War. Let us pray that God's Rottweiler is sufficient for this one.
Although I really do think that he will be up to the job. After all, the Holy Spirit is relied on to point the way for the individual leading the Church.
1) Pope says that there appears to be a tendency towards violence in Islam
2) Muslims demand apology from Pope for "insulting" Islam and the prophet" but do not specify what exactly it was that he said false and defamatory or insulting
3) Pope does not offer apology
4) Muslim clerics tell followers to hunt down Pope and kill him for suggesting that their religion might be violence prone
The vermin also torched a YMCA a day or two before the pope spoke. Just an excuse to escalated their hate.
Pope Benedict doesn't have authority over the Coptic Orthodox church, although a form of theological agreement was reached during Pope John Paul's pontificate.
(Funny how my Bible doesn't contain the part where Jesus said, "Never say anything that offends Moslems.")
