More on the Pope’s comments
Let’s look at an article put out by Al-Reuters, the official propaganda rag of jihadis everywhere.
Pope remark offends Muslim leaders.
No surprise here. People don’t like it when you tell the unvarnished truth about them, now do they? The money shot for this puff-piece is in the very first sentence:
Pope Benedict’s comments about Islam could hurt religious harmony, government and religious leaders in the world’s most populous Muslim countries, Indonesia and Pakistan, said on Friday.
Notice it’s the Pope’s remarks which harm religious harmony with Muslims, and not the systematic slaughter of innocent civilians. Or the blowing up of busses full of school children. Or the flying of planes into buildings. Or the “honor killing” of “shamed” women. Or the routine beheading of civilian hostages. Or the merciless execution of homosexuals in Islamic countries. Ad infinitum, ad nauseam.
Nope. It’s all Papa Bennie’s fault.
Let’s look at more.
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.
Yes. Bob forbid that Ol’ Bennie 16 use the exact same words used by the very Muslims who are condemning him for not buying the “Religion of Peace” nonsense.
“This statement has hurt sentiments of the Muslims,” the resolution said. “This is also against the charter of the United Nations. This house demands the Pope retract his remarks in the interest of harmony among different religions of the world.”
Oh, boo-effin-hoo. The hypocrisy of this comment is positively stunning. How anyone who follows a religion that tells its followers, in absolutely no uncertain terms, that it is their Allah-given duty to butcher all non-Muslims who are unwilling to convert, and then turn around and say that the Pope is affecting the “interest of harmony among different religions of the world”, and then expect anyone to actually take them seriously is beyond my mortal ability to comprehend.
Naturally, they’re quick to mention that criticism of Islam is against the charter of the UN, unlike, say, advocating the absolute destruction of another nation and the slaughter of all that nation’s occupants.
The Vatican issued a statement to say the Pope had never meant to offend Islam.
The backpedaling begins. No wonder the Islamic world sees the West as a bunch of noodle-spined pansies.
Syamsuddin said the remarks could hurt “harmonious” relations between Muslims and Catholics and urged Muslims against reacting excessively.
“Whether the Pope apologizes or not, the Islamic community should show that Islam is a religion of compassion,” he told Reuters.
The Islamic community can start the process of showing that Islam is a “religion of compassion” by condemning Islamic terrorists instead of acting as their cheerleaders.
