Intolerant, Violent, Easily Offended

"Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence" - Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam.
Is there some kind of language mixup here? What a crock.

"...Muslim anger grows at Pope speech
Hardly a news story is it? Muslims offended. Is there anything that doesn’t offend Muslims?..." read more at InHocSigno

"The pope's words have caused a deep wound in the hearts of Muslims that won't heal for a long time, and then only after a clear apology to Muslims," Egypt's religious affairs minister, Mahmoud Hamdi Zaqzouq, wrote in a column in the government daily Al-Ahram on Monday.

Ask Americans, New Yorkers in particular about the deep 9/11 wound in their hearts, Mahmoud. I think many would tell you exactly where you could stuff an apology.



This is one of the cartoons that freaked out the Muslim world enough to cause riots. Is this is a stable, peaceful religion? Say what you will about the Pope, but he found an appropriate 600 year old quote that still describes Islam, as represented by Islamo Fascists of the present day.

They need to show the world that the Pope is wrong. I only see that it is a violent religion.
There response has been to call for the death of the Pope, kill a nun, and fire bomb some churches.
Their religious leaders seem quiet on dennouncing the violence of their followers.

The mullahs don't denounce it because they are the ones encouraging it.
What you see is what you get. A religion that is spread by the sword, Iran president, Oddmanjob, building nukes to cause the end of times and who has chanted "Death to America."
I think that we will be forced to take serious military measures before very long. It all depends on whether they will abandon their dream of world domination and choose civilization instead. Think that will happen?

Little green footballs has a interesting article on the subject. Read the comments...one guy was taking a train in the middle east and was asked by a "friendly" guy next to him what his religion was. When the man said, "I don't have a religion," the once-friendly guy then told him, "Then I hate you and want to kill you!"

I wonder how much the "moderates" in Islam have a voice, if any at all...
