What does everyone think of this?
I am becoming further increasingly alienated with Islam and Muslims themselves.
It were a comment which intended to have no offence what’s so ever.
We have dictators in the Middle East, especially Iran, who can state they wish to blow Israel off the map, if there is any condemnation to this from Israel, they’re accused of wanting to destroy Muslims and Islam. Double Standards!
In addition to this, many Muslims have expressed their anger over a few words. I find this very disrespectful of western principles. The Vatican is in Italy, a democracy, freedom of speech. The words did not promote violence as opposed to Islamic extremists in the mid east. Second to this, many Muslims probably will get violent over this, just like they did over the cartoons. They have already started to be very disrespectful toward the catholic religion with their insults and burnings of the pope as a modal.
Muslims and Islam peaceful? I’m not so sure.

You'd never guess that their religious culture is more than 800 years younger than Christianity. We got past this in about 1500.
On paper we did, from the Inquisitions to the troubles in N.I there's still a lot of infighting.
..and the Catholic Church isn't pure enough to bandy about any such allegations.
He quoted what he did simply to prove a point about the theological differences related with philosophy between Christianity and Islam; and from there he proceeded to speak about the relationship of Catholic theology and Greek philosophy. The speech is ultimately about this subject imho.
Though admittedly not very tactful he wasn't using the quote to express his opinion of Islam, but as a starting point for a theological statement.
Well they are different. One would have to go back to medieval times to see a religious Christian response comparable to Muslim behaviour during the cartoons 'controversy.'
Thankyou, case closed.
Correction - the behaviour of some Muslims.
Very informative. :rolleyes:
From 1936 Hitler Youth membership was forced through law, he had to attend it.
He is a cunt though, so is most of the Catholic hierarchy. Nothing the simple layman like myself can do about it.
Fred Phelps and his Church is a cult that doesn't even have a thousand followers. Their disgusting behaviour is thankfully limited to a tiny fringe within Christianity, the same cannot be said of the disgusting behaviour of thousands of Muslims during the cartoons controversy. Unfortunately, even 'moderate' Muslim groups were trying to justify the actions of angry mobs in the Arab world...
Benedetto (the current pope) isn't a bad guy and there are over 1 million young people across the world who heard him speak in a rather large field in Germany last summer who would vouch for that.
No different than all the other coerced "education" throughout the ages; and modern day state education.
Indoctrination by another name.
I think it was the Jesuits who used to say "Give me the child and I`ll give you the man".
Whilst I`m dropping quotes, how about one from Frank Zappa ?
"The only difference between a cult and a religion is the amount of real estate they own"
I love the way you get all outraged at stuff like that, yet support Israel's murder and starvation of Palestinians.
