Muslim Fury At Pope
UPDATED:
Gaza City Church Targeted
We all know how much Muslims revere the Pope! Now they are mad!
(CNN) -- Pope Benedict XVI came under a hail of criticism from the Islamic world Friday for comments he made earlier in the week regarding the Prophet Mohammed and the Muslim faith.
A growing chorus of Muslim leaders have called on the pope to apologize for the remarks he made in a speech in Germany on Tuesday when he used the terms "jihad" and "holy war."
Pakistan's National Assembly, parliament's lower house, unanimously passed a resolution on Friday condemning the pope's comments.
In his speech, Benedict quoted 14th-century Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus who said, "Show me just what Mohammed 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."
Before quoting Paleologus during his address at the University of Regensburg on Tuesday, the pontiff noted the "brusqueness," or discourteous nature of the emperor's statement.
"God," the emperor, as the pope quoted, said, "is not pleased by blood -- and not acting reasonably is contrary to God's nature."
So what part of his speech didn't they agree with? Equating Jihad with Islam. I'm sorry but I haven't heard about the Buddhist Jihadists...have you?
**UPDATE** Offended Muslims respond with grenade attack on Christians in Gaza. (Remind's one of the cartoon wars doesn't it?)
"In the name of the Palestinian people, we condemn the pope's remarks on Islam. These remarks go against the truth and touch the heart of our faith.”
So the "truth and heart" of their faith is that Palestinian Muslim's are offended that the Pope thinks they are violent and so they lob a grenade at a Christian Church in response.
So did I miss the punchline?
Muslim protesters shouting, "We don't know what a pope is, or who he is, but he misrepresents Islam and must die, we are not ignorant and violent." [emphasis mine--Joe S.]
