The Unbelievable Hypocrisy of Muslim Outrage . . .
Saturday, September 16, 2006 at 09:49AM 
Throughout the Islamic world, Muslims continue to express their outrage that Pope Benedict the XVI dared to make mention of a 14th century conversation between a Byzantine Christian Emperor Manuel Paleologos II and a Persian scholar on the truths of Christianity and Islam. Benedict didn't say whether he agreed with the comment or not . . . He simply made an oblique reference to the discussion. Now, Muslims everywhere are outraged. (I saw this picture on Drudge--I'll bet this guy is a hoot at family get-togethers).
Give me a break! Where was this Muslim "outrage" when nineteen of their own flew two jumbo jets into the Twin-Towers and one more into the Pentagon?
Where was this Muslim outrage when Richard Reid tried to blow up a jet-liner with a shoe bomb?
Where was the Muslim outrage when suicide bombers killed scores of Aussies in Bali?
Where was the Muslim outrage when a Muslim shot-up the El-Al counter at LAX, killing a heroic young security guard?
Where was the Muslim outrage when two men rode through the DC area sniping at unaware innocents, killing in the name of Allah?
Where was the Muslim outrage for the bombings of trains in Madrid and the subways in London? Dozens of men and women were killed while going about their daily business.
Where is the Muslim outrage at news of the attempted bombings of more than a half-dozen jet-liners over the Atlantic?
This is a religion of peace, right? Where is CAIR? Where is the condemnation of acts of terror by Islamic scholars and noted Imams? Their collective silence speaks volumes.
If Benedict apologizes for this, he is absolutely crazy! An apology will only encourage more Muslim rage anytime someone dares to state in public that Allah is not the true God and Muhammad is not a prophet.
Let us see this for what it is--an attempt to subjugate other religions to Islam by silencing them through threats of violence. But then this has always been the Muslim way.
Meanwhile, let us preach Christ and him crucified, for this is the power of God unto salvation!

"Muslim fundamentalism, Christian fundamentalism, Jewish fundamentalism, secular fundamentalism - they're all motivated by fear. Fear of each other."
Why is it that in every other area of life adherance to the fundamentals is considered a good thing?

Did it strike any body funny that this Pope read things that contradicted the previous Pope's view on Islam?? What about Papal Infalability?
I'm not too keen on the world thinking that the Pope is the representative of all Churches or all Christians.
Remember the Reformation and the 5 Solas!!!!
there is nothing wrong with suggesting that we can do better. and that someone does doesn't mean he is somehow compromising anything. i will admit to the sense of "speaking into the wind or wrting on the surface of a lake or describing a color" when making such comments. i realize it may be lost on some. some nuances are just not picked up on.
it's been nice exchanging with you.

I don't do nuance. You started your comment with "wow," then proceeded into your judgment about commenters who were making "ham-fisted" statements. Why you insist on badgering people who say anything adverse about Islam is beyond me. You did it with the last post about Islam as well.
