Muslims pissed..yet again

[Recap]

So I hear the muslims are mad at the Pope now.  I'm so sick of hearing about them being pissed at something or another.  Get over yourselves.  It will all be settled when we die.  Until then, take a chill pill.

[Squire]

Yep, darn Pope, we are >< close to World Peace, and DOH! there he goes. Cripes.

Now we will have to wait another 700 years...

CNN reported that the Muslims firebombed 4 churches in the West Bank I think they said. Anyway just proves the Pope right. You didn't see Jews or Christians firebombing Mosques when Iran held their little cartoon contest last month.

These people are bringing a world of hurt down on themselves soon and it's going to make the Crusades look like a joke.

The pope was just stating the obvious. Is anyone really surprised that this would happen?

I think they need a new hobby ...

Ya, mass suicides.  I'll gladly help em set up.

They get all offended because someone calls them violent, and they protest this by becoming violent.

I don't think they understand what's going to happen eventually.  In time, the civilized western world is going to get so damned sick and tired of this that they start picking up "Gallic Wars" and "Mein Kampf" for tips and tricks.

Unfortunately, Islam hasn't cornered the market on religious wackos, per capita they may have more but let's not forget those religious wackos here in our own country who justify killing doctors and firebombing clinics who do things that are in opposition to their skewed religious beliefs.

Remember the Rajneeshie's and their attempt at poisioning whole community?

That's exactly what the Islamic extremists want; an escalation that leads to a radicalisation of the majority moderate muslims in the defence of their faith. Global conflict is exactly their aim and their only way of gaining power. Oppression breeds resistance.

That might be what they think they want, Dowding...  But heaven help them when a civilized power actually takes the gloves off and goes after them...  They can rally as many of their moderates as they like, it won't help them.

Boudicca, anyone?

[storch]

more like when the civilized world becomes tried of their BS and treats them not as we would treat ourselves but according to their deeds.

the thing is most of the moslems I know are ok people,  they just come from a messed up culture and they admit it.  we need a massive infusion of American pop culture for those poor deprived, confused moslems and maybe an occassional bellybutton whipping

The Pope wasn't entirely wrong in his remarks and the texts he reference highlight the fact that "Islam by the sword" has been a world issue for centuries.

I hope the Vatican takes a long hard look at the current geo-political situation and weighs their global responsibility before reacting too quickly with a pervasive apology. Currently we have a ideological battle between radical Islam and secular capitalistic Great Britain and the United States. The lines of power would shift very dramatically if the Vatican actually came out and said Radical Islam is evil and it is the responsibility of good Catholics to denounce it. That pulls on populaces that are currently outside the influence of the standard Western USA/UK perspective. Particularly in "trouble" states like Venezuela its sets up conflict between the state religion and the state government, but also large sections of Europe which is currently more neutral in their views of the conflict.

Even radical Arabs have been careful to couch their rhetoric as anti-Jewish and then extending punishment to the "secular" West. Everyone knows the real powder keg is engaging Christians directly and it is somewhat significant that even the radical edge of Islam recognizes that political reality.

Yup..lets not forget those 5 or 6 guys who were blowing up clinis and killing people (24 deaths from 1988 to 2000, according to these foks, not one since, although there have been some 11 arsons/attempts since 2000)

I don't know why we even give them the time of day actually. If these people want to be "The faithfull followers of Islam". They need to be able to read their freaking book. The Quran speaks of co existance not Jiad. I mean really WTF?? 70 Virgins totally taken out of context. All this Urban myth B.S. Perpetuated by uninformed and the Media. I say let them eat their freaking Oil, and try growing crops in the sand. Besides they will screw up, either Pakistan or Iran or some "STAN" place and cook off a a Tel-Aviv or something and then look out:O Holy Stuff will be flying then.

Boudicca, anyone?

That's a bad example, for a variety of reasons.

 Superpowers like to think they are untouchable. But they should never forget the lesson of Britain's celebrated Boudicca...
