It seems everything somehow offends muslims - especially the truth. They act like a bunch of animals. I think their "religion" is one of intolerance, hate, violence, ignorance and laziness. Where is the outrage from the muslim community when they commit and encourage such senseless violence? How can they expect any respect?

I believe the Pope said absolutely nothing wrong!!!, and why? because his use of that particular quote proved to be truthful. Nothing but anger, rage, and violence came out of the Middle East. It is said that Islam is a peaceful religion? Well I didn't see any peaceful demonstrations over the weekend.
It is a true testament to the Pope's character to offer condolances and an explination of his words, however i don't think he owe'd anything to the muslims.
After the fiasco demontrated over the weekend, I can truthfully say that Islam is nothing but a farse, a haven for fanatics and terrorists, the religion is not peaceful, their holy book is contradictory, and their Prophet is nothing worth worshiping. Now I would be surprised if my comments made it to the middle east. If so, people there would demand an apology, just like they did of the pope. Yet when people in the middle east burn the American flag, burn representations of the president and blow up christian establishments, do you see us demanding appologies and justice? I guess the only justice I would like to see is peace and respect. Is that so much to ask in what I hope is still a civilized world?

Isn't it ironic--Muslims become offended when others like the Pope say their religion is not peaceful--and this makes them so angry they set Christian churches afire (like they did on the West Bank), or they shoot a nun to death (like they did in Somalia.) (Maybe anger management classes would help them.)

With the reaction we've seen over the weekend from the Muslim world (rioting, killing a nun, burning Pope puppets) in addition to similar occassions we've seen in the not so distant past, they're just supporting what the pope said. I, personally, find it harder and harder to respect Islam as a wholly peaceful religion. I think it's time for Muslim leaders to stand up and actively condemn the use of violence.

The leader of the Catholic Church has now become the focus of Islamic hate. Weow, who would have guessed this. It appears that no one in the world will be allowed to have any thoughts or comments about Islam or the actions of it's nasty followers. I expect they will be wanting Spain back again. After that, who's next.

I don't think the Pope said anything so awful - the religeous Islamic fanatics, exactly like our own Christian fanatics, aren't going to budge one inch on anything. They both welcome opportunities to be outraged.

So many people today are using language offensive to others now the Pope. What ever happen to respecting others. When people see the leaders and those we respect use hurtful language and use the excuse I didn't mean it that way or I didn't know well it says no thought was given while talking. How does one listen and follow people who don't think before they speak or use excuses for hurtful remarks. I pray God can forgive those who's words hurt others.

I think these Muslim activists have a little too much time on their hands. I'm willing to respect their religion, but this is a two-way street. Do they have some sort of wire service that picks up these perceived slights and notifies them? Who supports these mens' families while they go out and demonstrate for weeks at a time?
