The Religion of Peace is at it again, looking for all the world like a religion of war, or at least hair-trigger protest and perpetual grievance. Last time it was cartoons, this time it’s the Pope.
"The furore over comments made by Pope Benedict about the Islamic concept of Holy War continues to grow. Today British Muslims joined in, fiercely criticising his remarks."
Here’s the Pope unfiltered, in the complete transcript, only a fraction (two sentences) of which are about jihad, not that protestors likely have read it. Read it yourself.
UPDATE Great selection of links at Instapundit on this subject, including arguments that the Pope shouldn’t have apologized, but ought to have shown more guts in the face of this nonsense. And another post saying he hasn’t actually apologized and has them where he wants them, or something. Otherwise, he might as well stop talking about why Catholicism is preferable to other religions. He does that, doesn’t he? All religious leaders do, don’t they? The Islamic ones certainly do, the terrorists among them telling us to convert or else.
The Palestinians fire bombed the doors of a few churches in the West Bank and Gaza.
My favorite line is from Instapundit: How long would (the MSM) put up with Baptist rage?
Although, really, showingcasing the latest Muslim rent-a-mob isn’t putting up with the Islamists but revealing them for what they are–childish and prone to manipulation.
For a laugh, see the First Annual Muslim Protest Awards.
