If he wanted, and it was not his aim, the Pope Benedict XVI could not perform in a better way to demonstrate the irrationality, the intolerance and the violence of the Muslims when he spoke about relationship between Islam and violence in Germany last week

It's not fragile. It's pathological.

[SpaceBar]

More media spin. Islam isn't fragile. In fact it's quite robust. They preach hate with impunity and dance around the law with amazing agility. They get visas to the west through our own endemic corruption, are educated at our best schools, and surround themselves with cadres of lawyers well acquainted with every backhand technique. Only until changes are made in our own western notions of religion, and legal racketeering under the guise of freedom of religion, will we be able to fight this formidable enemy.

The contradictions of faith and reason that long-existed in Christianity?

Excuse me? Who gave the world its first universities? Might it be church leaders in Paris, Le Monde?

Thomas Aquinas? French! Christian!
Peter Abelard? French! Christian!
The great Summa of the world? Christian monks!

I'm not exactly sure what causes the self-loathing in liberalism and with Europe and the French in particular, but it has created complete historical amnesia.

Harp all you want about Galileo. But look at the traditions of logic and reason, and see in which of the many world cultures it most flourished.

And then realize that that's your own freakin' culture and take some pride in it, d@!%# it!

I can well understand why the Muslims are sensitive about any reference at all to the Byzantine Empire. They would just as soon everybody forget about all that "sensitive stuff" from so long ago. Good thing for them that the Muslims murdered all those Christians and defiled all those churches about 60 years later when they took over that Emperor's kingdom, that way we don't have to be subjected to such sensitive matters today. Quick and clean, they killed the Christians and moved on, just the way the Muslims like to do it today.

What is completely ignored by both media and Islamic (sub)animals is the message the pope was trying to convey.

Islam has instead proved that they are stupid as well as barbaric.

The Pope has nothing to apologize for, He made no "blunder" except to think that Muslims (and media for that matter) had enough intelligence to hear the message he was giving.

[Brilliant]

They can't stand the truth.

[moonman]

“Show me just what Mohammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached”.

O.K. I've been waiting 5 days for an Islamic rebuttal. I for one can't think of anything new that wasn't either evil or inhuman. I haven't seen any Liberal apologist come forth with anything that helped society either. It must be true then!

[Right Wing Assault]

It is weak in the sense that the only way it can survive and propagate is by fear. If it were truly strong, it would give people the freedom to come or go as they please. It would not react so defensively at every slight. It knows it is weak and fears its weakness. Freedom kills Islam.

[FastCoyote]

Telling the truth can rarely be a blunder in the long term.

a “learned” Muslim Persian circa 1391

He must have been the last one ...

Iranian leader, Ayatollah Ali Khameneh’i, said the Pope had been “manipulated” by all those that, led by the United States, the Zionists and the Western press, are after a new “crusaders war against Islam and Muslims”.

It is not just the 'Christian Crusaders' who are coming for you this time.
It is all of Humanity.
