31. Angry, Threatening Muslims...
Erik   (09.15.06)
Yawn...
32. Inappropriate
American ,   USA   (09.15.06)
In actuallity- the Muslim relgion takes most of its teachings from the judeo-christian bible- it's just mohammad is their prophet- they even recognize Jesus and Abraham- so esentially its the cousin of the jewish belief system- I AM NOT BOOK religious- i think those things cause wars- but I recommend if one is- [and they have the RIGHT TO BE ] that certain ground rules are laid down by the UN or some other international association that says-" you can practice what ever- be it paganism, buddhism, KKK, atheism,Judiasm , Islam, born again freakozoidism, etc. SO LONG AS you dont harm others in the process- and this includes- killing, --stealing LAND, crusading , etc- in the name of your darn crazy hangup of a religion- JUST KEEP IT AT HOME!!!!
33. As-Salam Alaykum Brothers and Sisters of the World
Peaceful Mullah ,   Middle East   (09.15.06)
If Iran had its nukes, the Pope and his followers would have paid the fair price for his stupid remarks. In the mean time we will just keep hating you all INFIDELS ! Thats my peace to you.

36. Pope's faux pas
American ,   USA   (09.15.06)
I'll never understand why some religious leaders with incredible power feel the need to comment on the religion of others. The Pope should stick to guiding his Catholics in a positive way and not start controversy among the over-sensitive and touchy Muslims (or Jews, for that matter.) Was his intent to start a provocation? Probably not, as his words were taken out of context. However, you can always count on Muslims---especially Muslim Imams and Clerics---to over-react and incite their minions. Let's not forget, also, that the Muslim Clerics' specialty is fomenting hate-speech against all infidels, especially People of the Book and followers of Christ, so if their panties are in a frenzy, then it's just another case of the pot calling the kettle black.
37. 21 Abdul Steiner cannot bear Facts Typical
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (09.15.06)
he rather cowards down - from Reality - and appeases
38. Gog vs. Magog
Josh   (09.15.06)
Title fight?! Wonder if the top Muslim clerics say anything derogatory about Christians...or do they just kill them and burn down their churches?
39. I am not allowed to express my opnion
Mel Gibson   (09.15.06)
What happened to freedom of expression now? I guess there is double standard !
40. great
Jason ,   USA   (09.15.06)
now they are going to fly airplanes into the Vatican because of what someone said hundreds of years ago
41. Iranian reaction this time more cartoons
Arn ,   Tel-Aviv   (09.15.06)
I suppose the Iranian reaction to the Pope's bringing a mirror to Islam - the religion of docile pussycats - will be to hold another competition of cartoons - the humor this time coming from such historical episodes as the Christians being eaten by the lions - or some such. We are presently witnessing Islam at its most charitable. Wait till they get the bomb.
42. boo hoo
Drew ,   HaEmek, Israel   (09.15.06)
These muslims can dish out attack after attack on everyone else (infidels) but can't take it! maybe if the Muslim world learned a little more about freedom, they wouldn't try to be taking away ours!
43. To the other "American"
American ,   USA   (09.15.06)
Your remarks are puzzling and incoherant. The KKK is NOT a religion, and does preach violence against others. Also, "Freakazoid" is not even a real word. Make your point clearly or edit your comments next time. Meantime, I am going to change my name to avoid being associated with you, as your writing skills are an utter embarassment.
44. Good
American ,   USA   (09.15.06)
and why you at it- why dont you just admit you are an Israeli-firster and not American at all.
45. They are going to push it too far
Sigfried S. Kuhn ,   Aberdeen   (09.15.06)
What is it with these Islamists and other so-called "moderate Muslims"? They can destroy Synagogues, Mosques of an opposing sect, Christian Churches, historic Buddhist shrines, and think that nothing is wrong with their behavior. Instead of apologizing for 9-11, they make up lies blaming everybody including Jews, the Mossad, and the Bush administration. After 3000 innocent civilians were killed on 9-11, they danced in the streets, just as they did when Saddam's Scuds were hitting Israel. They worship death and suicide bombers and have no conscience about killing, in the name of honor, a sister or daughter who was raped. Then, they have the gall to complain when somebody questions their moprality and culture. What they don't understand is that they are not the only ones capable of inflicting horrendous punishment. They think that they will be able to continue to attack the West with impunity and the West will never react with fury. Well, guess what. If you listen to the average American who doesn't have to be politic ally correct, the anger against Muslims is only escalating.
46. islam is the religion of peace everyone knows that
(09.15.06)
47. Popes speaking was not call to war!
schulz ,   bad germany   (09.15.06)
48. the pope
jj ,   montreal canada   (09.15.06)
Just by reading the reponses we can all see he was right, even if it was a quote from the Byzantine Empire. it was true than, it is certainly true now.
49. #2
Jane   (09.15.06)
Because they believe in free [hate] speech only for themselves.
50. #44
Jane   (09.15.06)
Actually, the other one sounds as American as apple pie. It is you, however, who sound a bit KKK-ish with your "Israeli-firster" crack. You're the kind that America should never have let in.
51. THEY PROTEST AS THEY BURN THE YMCA
mohammed ,   gaza   (09.15.06)
IM NOT HAPPY WITH MY FOLLOWERS MOHAMMED
52. IF I WAS AN MUSLIM
DACON9   (09.15.06)
BETWWEN THE CARTOON OF MOOOhamad AND WHAT THIS POOP SAID I WOULD BE SOOO UPSET THAT I WOULD RIOT KILL DESTROY And send 100 suicide bombers throughout the world
53. I like this Pope more and more.....
Andy   (09.15.06)
54. Gettin on with the healing Mel?
Josh   (09.15.06)
Wonder what the Pope would say if he were drunk and arrested in Malibu? Mel has his own Church too. Your free to express youself as long as what your saying is first approved by your Jewish agent or your Jewish lawyer who will probably save your but and your public image cause your seeming a little cursed as of late.
55. Pope has nothing to apologize for.
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (09.15.06)
If muslims were to apologize for every time they offended Christianity, it would take them years to finish. It is a fact that islam was spread using TERROR and the pope has nothing to apologize for.
56. DON'T APOLOGISE, POPE!
Sheikh yer Bu'Tay ,   Dar al-Harb   (09.15.06)
Why should the Pope apologise for telling the truth? Muhammad (peace be upon his VICTIMS!), did spread his religion by the sword. The four "rightly guided Caliphs" spread Islam by the sword. Muslims, get a grip on sanity! What is next? A "Pope jihad"?? Yeah, right!
57. Pope and Islam
Ben Hur ,   Manhattan, USA   (09.15.06)
Don't call me violent or I will kill you!
58. Another useless comment by "American"
Citizen of ,   USA, born and raised   (09.15.06)
Why don't you just admit that you need to get your G.E.D. before you attempt a meaningful debate. What does my criticism of your post have to do with Israel? Are you totally paranoid? I'll bet you're a David-Duke-firster, judging by you're stupid comments about the KKK. Pathetic!
59. WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE SO HOSTILE TO
INNOCENT HAMASNIK ,   RAMALLAH   (09.15.06)
THE WORLD'S MOST PEACEFUL AND TRUE RELIGION? ALL WE MUSLIM WANT IS TO LIVE IN PEACE AND TO ENJOY LIFE. WE DONT BOTHER YOU AS LONG AS YOU BELIEVE IN GREAT ALLAH. SO WHERE IS THIS ALL HATRED COMING FROM?
60. ITS ALL GOOD, ITS ALRIGHT... HOPE YOU KNOW THE REST
NATION OF ISLAM ,   NYC-DC-LA, USA   (09.15.06)
