More From the Religion of Peace
Followers of the Religion of Peace reacted with calm after last week's speech by the Pope which portrayed Islam as a religion tainted by violence.
Not.
Riots, the burning of churches, and the shooting death of a nun have are all the result of Islamic barbarism. A religion whose followers feel they must shut up anyone who criticizes said religion must not have much to recommend it.
The Pope's (misguided) apology did not appease al-Qaeda in Iraq:
"We tell the worshipper of the cross (the Pope) that you and the West will be defeated, as is the case in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya," said a Web statement by the Mujahideen Shura Council.
"We shall break the cross and spill the wine ... God will (help) Muslims to conquer Rome ... (May) God enable us to slit their throats, and make their money and descendants the bounty of the mujahideen," said the statement, posted on Sunday on an Internet site often used by al Qaeda and other militant groups.
Charming. We also have France's greatest appeaser speaking out:
French President Jacques Chirac refused on Monday to criticize the 79-year-old Pontiff, but called for a more diplomatic use of language.
"It is not my role or my intention to comment on the Pope's statements. I simply want to say, on a general level ... that we must avoid anything that excites tensions between peoples or between religions," Chirac said on Europe 1 radio.
"We must avoid making any link between Islam, which is a great, respected and respectable religion, and radical Islamism, which is a totally different activity and one of a political nature," Chirac added.
As usual, French leaders try to cover all bases. One never knows who one will end up kowtowing to, and it's a good idea to be a friend to all.
Michelle Malkin has excellent coverage of this growing problem.
The religion of peace demonstrates its love for all

This story is getting on my nerves, too. I've had to post several times just to keep up with all the insanity this weekend.
What surprises me is how these "offended" Muslims don't see the irony in their actions - reacting to accusations of violence within Islam by acting... um, violent.
Why we take these nutballs seriously is beyond me.
Posted by: reverse_vampyr at September 18, 2006 04:35 PMThe Pope did not apologize. It appears the media is putting words in his mouth.
What the MSM thinks he said:
"I am deeply sorry for the reactions in some countries to a few passages of my address at the University of Regensburg, which were considered offensive to the sensibility of Muslims."
What he really said was: ''sono rammaricato'', which translates to 'I'm disappointed',
So, "I'm disapointed in the reactions in some countries to a few passages..."
BIG DIFFERENCE.
