The Pope makes the Muslims mad!

[The Devil Man]

Point your pointy thingys over...

Here!

The Pope made a speech on Thursday about Muslims and how their early teachings spread violence. Now the Muslims have gotten pretty angry in Turkey and Lebanon and this could get pretty bad.

Remember back in February how viciously they reacted when a Danish newspaper printed some cartoons depicting Mohammed? Virtually every country in Europe felt the full force of Muslim anger (and, in my opinion, vast over-reaction)

So how could they react when such a senior authority makes these comments? I really hope it doesn't get too bad at all, but as the word spreads on what the Pope said, and surely his speech will be mis-interpreted, I think there's probably gonna be some serious violence very soon. (And, personally, I think he has a point with what he said. If you read it carefully you can see that he is right).

Hypocrite.

I've heard about it on the news but I think that neither the pope should speak about muslim neither the muslism should speak about catholics! We've seen through the years that it does not get a good result!

That's true.

I just think this could get seriously bad in absolutely no time and Italian Embassies the world over will start getting smashed up. They've already started burning effigies of the Pope in the Muslim communities in India.


That's all I'm worried about. Innocent people will no doubt start getting hurt over this.

One of many reasons why I dislike religions. Some people take it way too far. The world would be so much better off without the religions. Sure, it does do some good, but it does more harm than good. My opinion.

Muslism need to control their anger a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle bit... that's why I love to be atheist! No need to worry if Allah is better than the others or not... I don't really like the face of this Pope I admired the other, he seemd a sweet guy, but this one has a really face of bad person... (I hope he's not)

Everything said about Muslims is mis-interupted by Muslims *shrug* - you gotta expect some backlash.

[bipper]

OOPS! lol

[Peegee]

This is going to get ugly before it gets better.

I expect an apology soon.

Nonsense! His eyes are sweet, and understanding, and kind, and hypnotic...

What, a Devil Man thread without a poll?

[Madame Adequate]

Given that the Muslim world tends to react to statements such as this by burning effigies/diplomatic offices*, I'm not sure I can disagree with what the Pope says.

* Basically, it boils down to this.
"Islam is a violent faith."
"TAKE THAT BACK OR WE'LL KILL YOU!"

And this crap about extending an apology or retracting the statement because it will harm relations... is insane... it's saying "Do as we say, or you'll suffer the consequences."

Edit; None of this is to say that Catholicism has gone up in my eyes.

That can be corrected

Edit: Damn, it can't I can't add a Poll! It's too late!

Serves me right. I am so mad at myself for foregtting to add a Poll.

[Odaisé Gaelach]

That can be corrected

Make it about his kind eyes!
Make it about his kind eyes!

"TAKE THAT BACK OR WE'LL KILL YOU!"
"Do as we say, or you'll suffer the consequences."

It's true, but we can't forget that if the Pope apolagize ur point is correct but if he won't, it can cause a war...
