They constantly insult Judaism and Christianity. The only way they'll learn to live WITH us, is if we do to them as they're doing to us... otherwise they'll end up dominating us. During an official meeting on Islamic-Christian dialogue, an authoritative Muslim person, speaking to the Christians participating, at one point said very calmly and assuredly: "Thanks to your democratic laws we will invade you; thanks to our religious laws we will dominate you." http://www.meforum.org/article/448 We must act NOW to preserve democracy and freedom!

Dhimmhitude 101 This is no way to become a dhimmhi*. On your knees pope! That's it...crawl on your eyebrows...slowweeeeer..good boy. Now lick the boots of al-Qaeda ...or is it Ahmadinejad? No...The "Brotherhood" in Egypt...pope, you look confused. You can't seem to satisfy all of them. Well, anyway, you are setting the right example for the Christian and so-called free world. NOW KEEP APOLOGIZING! *dhimmhi is an official slave to Muslims. Mohamed himself established the laws of dhimmhitude. After he defeated the Jews of Kaibar he enslaved the survivors. Dhimmhitude is part of shariah and includes very specific treatment including a dhimmhi tax, jizya. Hamas is planning on imposing jizya on Christians in the West Kank. Learn more about how to become a dimmhi. Follow Solana these next few weeks carefully and see how it's done Iranian style. Time for dhimmhitude 101 http://www.dhimmitude.org/

What is "Sahi Muslim No. 4206"? And, you can believe this? Hello? Analyse your sources. And you know that one source is only one source, a ridiculously cheesy source.

what are the pope personal views about that Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaeologus text? thx for ur apology, pope!

the pope has shown his fear of the muslims, too. They can act how ev3r they wish and answer to no one. THE TRUTH AS TOLD BY THE POPE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT TO STAND

given a chance you will see, could be coming to home town near you

Instead of apologizing to Muslims, he should mention the inquisition and the fact that the church has apologized for that. Then he should mention the current global wave of Islamic terror and demand that Muslims stop it, and apologize for it. He should mention that at the time of the inquisition, it could also be said that the inquisition was not actually done by a majority of Christians, but Christians still stopped it and apologized for it. Muslims must do the same at this time.

The Pope must NOT apologize for reading from an historical source that was not favorable to Islam. No person should ever apologize for reading something aloud - unless it's negative to a group or nationality and the reader goes on to agree with the quote. The Pope did not agree with the quote - he meerly read it. To render an apology would be negating human rights and free speech.

Pope Benedict cannot afford to abase himself and grovel or it's the beginning of the end for Christendom. I do mean the end of Christianity and the Christian west!

...treated the adulterous woman in this manner? I think you should pay a visit to this website: http://www.answering-islam.org/Silas/founders.htm

I guess that makes you an apostate. And you know the punishment for apostates under Shariah Law? Yep, death by stoning.

operation against Afghanistan's taliban government "Operation Infinite Justice". It was then changed to something else because he was told that the word "Infinite" would offend Muslims.

Moslems are not so very different from people of other religions. I well remember being driven around Belfast of my youth and admiring the ubiquitous Irish graffiti expressing the author's deep wish to “kick the Pope.” The phrase even became the swear words of choice for us kids.

John, yours is a ridiculous story! Jesus had no right to neither condemn nor forgive your fornicator. Jurisdiction of all capital cases belonged solely to the Sanhedrin and most certainly not to some itinerant from Nazareth. Very pompous and against Torah for him to assume he did. And this begs the question why the crowd would follow along with such a silly charade? The story just doesn’t make a shred of sense, unless it was made up by people who didn’t know Judaism!

HE IS FREEEEEE ! NOT TO TALK ABOUT HE DOES NOT WANT TO TALK !

with snow-white balls. therefore: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO APOLOGIEEEEES! nor eternal regrets. please, pope.

Keep em coming. If we don't educate ourselves the Muslims will educate us.... the hard way. Check out top rated; http://jihadwatch.org/

What is he supposed to apologize for? being misquoted and taken out of context? is he supposed to apologize for the inability of Muslims to give his intentions a bit more thought before they over-react? How about the Muslim Brotherhood apologizes for their racist violence in the wake of the controversy?

Killing in Dafur , burning churches, blowing up busses, trains and causing death to people. This has become sacred to Islam.

I have yet to see the text of entire lecture that the Pope gave where he 14th century Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaeologus. Seems to me that this is a typical case of taking a person out of context and not looking at the reason and intent he used the quote. In todays "emotionally charged" world, we should all put to practice more restraint. With all the critisim of the Catholic Church over the years, have you ever seen a Pope incite violence as a result of it? No. You never will either.

You know perfectly well who Sahih Muslim is. From Wikipedia: "Sahih Muslim is one of the Sunni Six Major Hadith collections." Just because Corish quotes from a Christian (and obviously biased) web site, it doesn't follow that he pulled his quotation from the air. Here's another version from a less biased source: http://www.muslimtents.com/aminahsworld/Zina3..html 'Abdullah b. Buraida reported on the authority of his father that Ma'iz b. Malik al-Aslami came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: Allah's Messenger, I have wronged myself; I have committed adultery and I earnestly desire that you should purify me. He turned him away. On the following day, he (Ma'iz) again came to him and said: Allah's Messenger, I have committed adultery. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) turned him away for the second time, and sent him to his people saying: Do you know if there is anything wrong with his mind. They denied of any such thing in him and said: We do not know him but as a wise good man among us, so far as we can judge. He (Ma'iz) came for the third time, and he (the Holy Prophet) sent him as he had done before. He asked about him and they informed him that there was nothing wrong with him or with his mind. When it was the fourth time, a ditch was dug for him and he (the Holy Prophet) pronounced judg- ment about him and he wis stoned. He (the narrator) said: There came to him (the Holy Prophet) a woman from Ghamid and said: Allah's Messenger, I have committed adultery, so purify me. He (the Holy Prophet) turned her away. On the following day she said: Allah's Messenger, Why do you turn me away? Perhaps, you turn me away as you turned away Ma'iz. By Allah, I have become pregnant. He said: Well, if you insist upon it, then go away until you give birth to (the child). When she was delivered she came with the child (wrapped) in a rag and said: Here is the child whom I have given birth to. He said: Go away and suckle him until you wean him. When she had weaned him, she came to him (the Holy Prophet) with the child who was holding a piece of bread in his hand. She said: Allah's Apostle, here is he as I have weaned him and he eats food. He (the Holy Prophet) entrusted the child to one of the Muslims and then pronounced punishment. And she was put in a ditch up to her chest and he commanded people and they stoned her. Khalid b Walid came forward with a stone which he flung at her head and there spurted blood on the face of Khalid and so he abused her. Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) heard his (Khalid's) curse that he had huried upon her. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Khalid, be gentle. By Him in Whose Hand is my life, she has made such a repentance that even if a wrongful tax-collector were to repent, he would have been forgiven. Then giving command regarding her, he prayed over her and she was buried. [Sahih Muslim: Book 017, Number 4206]

which means "struggle" in english, but is interpreted as meaning a religious war by Muslims. Bush then dropped the description from future references to the war on terror. However, Muslims have always and still call their terror attacks Jihad, which means "struggle" in arabic, but is interpreted as meaning a religious war by non-Muslims. However, no reprical apology has occurred from Muslims. and they still call it Jihad. This is what Bush apologized for around the same time as the name change from Infinite Justice to Enduring Freedom occurred. I got the 2 mixed up previously.
