excuse me..?
32. Some people can dish it out, but can't take it!
Canuck ,   Canada   (09.22.06)
I am so sick of these people wining all the time that they are offended. If they have it their way, history will be completely rewritten. In a democracy such as Canada, Christianity and Jesus Christ take hits on a daily basis, as does Judaism. We are the brunt of jokes and criticism in every type of media. Now we are having to walk on tip toes worrying about offending Muslims. Islam needs to learn to shake it off or get a sense of humour or a thicker skin! Muslims in my country were arrested for terrorist plotting against our Prime Minister and to blow up various sites in Toronto. We have Muslims pushing for Sharia Law. In our publicly financed high schools, they can meet for their daily prayers. Christian students have to go off school property to meet for prayer. We are being forced to hide our faith in a public venue while they are being allowed to exhibit theirs. We are now developing a situation in which the rights of those who would like to take away our rights are paramount. I understand that this is not the majority of Muslims in my country but there certainly is an extremely vocal minority. The fact of the matter is that almost every society and religion have historical issues that would be nice to sweep under the carpet. Hopefully most of us learn from these historical issues, atrocities, etc. and move ahead with God's help to be better people. We can't do that until we admit our wrongdoing first. The Pope should not apologize for his quote. Muslims should reread their own history and then show us all what lovely peaceloving, tolerant, accepting individuals they are.
33. Pope invites Muslims to calm anger
Tora-tora ,   Ann Arbor, USA   (09.22.06)
Dr. Tuthill, msg #16 does not comprehend what is taking place. Finally, Islam has access to money, atomic weapons, large infiltration of the West with Moslems harboring at least tacit approval of any violence advocated by Islam to make the world of one cloth in O'Prophet message of smite all infidels above their neck, or convert to the religion of “peace” in order for the world to be at peace. Mushroom cloud is much more expedient than sword. -The ultimate solution Hitler style, much moved by the idea of holocaust of Jews coming from Mufti Of Jerusalem. Jews are the snack. All others are the main course. USA prison population shows high conversion to Islam, the religion of “misunderstood”. There is not one guilty person in Federal prisons. Just ask them. Not one. Mohammed jailed the formidable human potential available to do wondrous things into the rigor of 5 prayers a day and mental obsequiousness of prison mates doing things by rote, while machine gun towers over their heads call the time for prayer. The very many Arabs I have met who freed themselves from the shackles and found shelter among us to prove their human value still look behind to make sure nobody is there to execute the fatwa for speaking up. Salman Rashdie fatwa is still in force. Iranian Ahmadinedeen, (Meaning “The most beloved”} is naïve enough to spill the truth of Islam grip on human mind. He said, and is determined to wipe Israel off the map as soon as his peaceful atomic program renders enough enriched uranium to build several cores to render into missiles on the way to Israel. It will only take two to wipe Israel off the map and start a chain reaction to the ultimate Armageddon. -And there is no way to avoid the coming clash of Civilization and whatever Islam pretends to be, but is not. Subterfuge and lies are legal in Islam, if used to perpetuate Islam. You can pussyfoot your benevolence around only for so long, Dr. Tuthill. Wake up. Wisely enough, Pope opened to door of the inferno.
34. #32 Canuck
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (09.22.06)
Well spoken, but you left out how they affect political voting, fill our courts with useless human rights violations, take advantage of our social programs, change security laws, as the case of the turban vs. the hardhat, and the rcmp towel guy that wouldn't wear the hat, the sikhs that wear there knives in classrooms. I'm still waiting for the first turban astronaut that won't wear the helmet. I'd like to see him do a spacewalk without his helmet and only his turban, and the downright disrespect of our own traditions and customs, as well as the respect for woman. How can I teach my son to treat woman with respect when muslims in his class give different examples, and what happened to christmas, it's now winter holidays. I'm tired of bending over backwards to appease our guests here, as well as the gangs they form and crime they bring. I'm running in our next federal election as an independent, and I am pushin for tighter immigration, harsher judicial system, better public health care, free education, and a reverse of our current trend of eliminating our values to appease others. They want to live here they can join us or get back on the boat.

37. Brothers in Islam subterfuge.
tora-tora ,   Ann Arbor, USA   (09.23.06)
You fit the pattern of permanent brain washing damage Islam inflicts on even the smart ones. Mohammed Atta was one such victim. You have not had enough courage to do what he did and die for your shibboleths, but move to Grand Rapids, MI and enjoy your human talents, while disdaining the infidels around you, treating them, presumably without intention to harm, but make a living. <> -Another evangelist? -Of what denomination? -The church of Self? –Let me know the location of your Temple in Grand Rapids, MI. -Or another subterfuge to promote Islam? -Sounds you make yourself fit to be another O’Prophet. I know, I know: It is contagious and you cannot help it. That is what I meant talking about Islamic sleeper cells being planted in the West.
38. Here they go again... (yawn)...
Nannette ,   London, UK   (09.23.06)
When will this Arab learn to read the Pope's speech??? All those Muslims who protest, always THINK they're victims, when in fact, it's the Muslims who have killed more Muslims than anyone else has. When they start apologising for their hate cartoons, hate speeches and violent, murderous, actions, that's when they'll EARN respect! Until then, they'll be looked on as barbarians, who abuse the aid money from the west, to keep their people in a perpetual state of welfare. IF they'd have used aid money properly, they'd have built an infrastructure, hospitals, homes, schools, and businesses and had a thriving economy by now. The ONLY answer to this fiasco, is to STOP all aid money to the Arabs, get treasonous MKs imprisoned, and make them appreciate the hand that keeps feeding them. The Pope's speech was just another excuse to jihad... because he never said anything inflammatory - it's just that these people don't listen to the full text, they just hear what they want and find any excuse to riot!
39. #11 ygalg-so far, not one Muslim has Won the $50,000 offered
Nannette ,   London, UK   (09.23.06)
http://www.news.faithfreedom.org/ has had this offer for quite a while and no-one has been able to refute the arguments put forward on the site. Robert Spencer of http://www.jihadwatch.org has also offered a lot of money for any Muslim able to refute his arguments about Islam, and no were able to. Just read this site to see the latest about Islamic demands on the world - and of course, no apologies from them...

41. to 39
ygalg   (09.24.06)
that cause what charged based on what coded in Islamic books. unless they would be Koran only Muslims ? there already rising a such a sect. but even Koran is not innocent. 0nly 67 verses in koran can be so far called moderate. while the rest is diabolic.
42. The Popes comment on the Muslim world
David Brown ,   Canada   (09.28.06)
I want to express my comments in support of the Pope. Why should he apologize to a group of people who cannot stand to hear the truth about the way their religious doctrine and leaders are going. Are they willing to discuss instead of making threats. It is very sad, that publicly their responce to many things takes this forum. Sir, do not back down David Brown
43. Muslims Provoking Hatred?
Ray ,   Milton, Florida   (09.28.06)
Who will be the first to bomb and destroy Mecca and in the process destroy forever the Khabba? Nuclear radiation with a half-life of, say, 35,000 years would preclude any person participating in haj for a time rather longer than that having elapsed since human civilization emerged in Ancient Middle Eastern river valleys. To gain a better insight into the strategic layout here, ought one to ask, Who have the Saudis to fear? Make a list. A few possible candidates that come to mind include -- Iran? Al-Queda? Israel? China? North Korea? Because Mecca is largely isolated and located in a broader desert region, little enough would be lost, it seems evident, by a careful strategic nuclear directive. When one stops to consider the possibility, does not the location seem an almost perfect target in the emerging full-blown war of hatred launched against the West by the extremists? Whence this extremity? Is it indigenous to Isalm? Imagine that Mecca represents the unrestrained Saudi marriage to Wahhabism [possibly the major source of the radicalization of Islam today; well, it was adequate to provoke Bin-Laden]. And notice that this Wahhabism was imposed upon the world by Saudi oil wealth partly, one imagines, out of fear of losing control over the holy places or, Allah forbid, being labeled too "liberal" with a Western, modern bent. In this scenario -- launching a nuclear missile on Mecca to help celebrate the wedding of Saudi oil to Wahhabism -- might not the bombing of that widely venerated black meteorite in the Khabba then symbolize a severing [the Muslims are good at severing] of that marriage of towering twin evils by "taking out" the core disease offered by that ring stone target now worn by the worldwide conspiracy of evil, blatant intolerance, and their hate-filled union?
44. "We the Muslims are the biggest seekers of dialogue in hist"
Paul ,   Columbia   (11.01.06)
Muslims are the biggest narcissists in history... Ironic, when you consider how wretchedly austere and unredeeming their religion is....
