"An Iraqi militant group led by al-Qaeda has threatened to massacre Christians in response to remarks about Islam by Pope Benedict XVI that have caused offence across the Muslim world.The Pope quoted a 14th Century Byzantine emperor who criticised the teachings of Mohammad for endorsing the use of violence, in a speech to an academic audience at a German university last Tuesday."
OK...now...just to make sure we have this right. Much violence, murder and mayhem in the world. Pope appeals for peace and cooperation of the worlds religions and quotes a 14th century passage. In response, the 'peaceful' religion declares a fatwah and calls for jihad to "massacre Christians" in an attempt to show the world that they are in fact a religion of peace.
Look...Ive been there. Ive spent several years in the middle east and KNOW that the radical lefts dont represent ALL of Islam. I also know that the REST of Islam refuses to speak out against the radical left of Islam because they know all that will bring is death to them and their families.
Yeesh. We need a solution.
