Muslims anger at Pope’s words just help verify them
Security around the Pope Benedict XVI has been beefed up after muslims have responded with intense anger and outrage over comments he made a few days ago. The outraged muslims can be outraged and continue to kill and burn down buildings to protest but they are just proving the Pope’s words right. Here is what he said about muslims.
In a speech delivered last week in Germany the pope quoted 14th-century Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus who said: “Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”
And here are what muslims have been doing since the Pope’s remarks.
The spiritual leader of Lebanon’s Sunnis, the Grand Mufti Sheik Mohammed Rashid Kabbani, said the pope’s remarks emanated either from “Ignorance and lack of knowledge or were deliberately intended to distort Islam.”
Five churches throughout the West Bank were attacked by Palestinians wielding guns and firebombs.
Firebombings left black scorch marks on the walls and windows of Nablus’ Anglican and Greek Orthodox churches. At least five firebombs hit the Anglican church and its door was later set ablaze. Smoke billowed from the church as firefighters put out the flames.
In Gaza City, militants opened fire from a car at a Greek Orthodox church, striking the facade. A policeman at the scene said he saw a Mitsubishi escape with armed men inside. Explosive devices were set off at the same Gaza church on Friday, causing minor damage.
The Pope should not appologize. Everything he had said has and continues to be proven by those who attack others of differing beliefs.
