VATICAN CITY -
Pope Benedict XVI "sincerely regrets" that Muslims have been offended by some of his words in a recent speech in Germany, the
Vatican said Saturday — stopping short of issuing an apology the Islamic world has demanded.
The new Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, said the pope's position on Islam is unmistakably in line with Vatican teaching that the church regards Muslims with "esteem."

Thus, the pope "sincerely regrets that certain passages of his address could have sounded offensive to the sensitivities of the Muslim faithful and should have been interpreted in a manner that in no way corresponds to his intentions," Bertone said in a statement.

His statement though is inflaming tensions that have already been stressed by the Bush administrations invasion of Iraq and a rise in Muslim fundamentalism.
...
The Pope needs to issue an apology, a clear statement that he used a poor choice of words at a very bad point in history. Not doing so will lead to violence and bloodshed.

1) The Pope's apology, and I'm happy for this, is for having offended anyone. That is the liberal Democrat style of apologizing without really apologizing, and I'm glad to see it used for good, not eveil.

2) Catholic doctrine is the Pope is infallible only when on matters of religion, and only when he makes a pronouncement Ex Cathedra, from his throne or chair. The Pope can have opinions on all number of things, that haven't been cleared with God first. The Pope can predict the Houston Texans to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl in 2007, and this could not be used as proof of the fallibility of infallibility.

Sharon has in the past insisted that the Western world was engaging in great folly by differentiating between radical and peaceful Islam. “All of a sudden we see that the greatest interpreters of Islam are politicians in the Western world,” he wrote. “They know better than all the speakers in the mosques, all those who deliver terrible sermons against anything that is either Christian or Jewish. These Western politicians know that there is good Islam and bad Islam. They know even how to differentiate between the two, except that none of them know how to read a word of Arabic.”Islam History Professor Moshe Sharon

Oh, and did anyone see the woman that Bill O. had on last night? She too said that an apology was necessary, that what the Pope said was not the beginning of any constructive dialogue. Bill kept trying to ask her a question about the "moderate" muslims speaking out against the atrocities that have been done in the name of the RoP and she kept evading a real answer - just kept saying, "We have done that," or "we are trying to do that."

Odds Helene hits US.


While Helene is way East of the 50º benchmark for US Air Force Reserves WC-130J Super Hercules 'Hurricane Hunter' aircraft, NOAA is sending the G-IV Gulfstream jet out for high altitude sampling, so the 0Z run of the models tonight may be much improved. Helene is a Cat 1 hurricane now. Of course, Hurricane Lane will hit the mainland of Mexico tonight East of the Southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, possibly as a Cat 4 monster, the worst to hit that part of Mexico in decades. While the low level center will not survive the Sierra Madre, the mid and upper structure, and abundant mid and upper moisture, will move into Texas as a cold front arrives, perhaps to cause the worst flooding in the Lone Star state since Tropical Storm Allison.

The 6Z GFS is encouraging, with a position East of central Florida and North of Hispaniola in a week, heading Northwest in the direction of the Mid-Atlantic

U play outrages Catholic group
University refuses to block controversial ‘Pope and the Witch’

The play skewers the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church. It stirs the anger of Catholics who view its story of a paranoid, heroin-addled pontiff and his corrupt aides as blasphemy.

And it’s coming soon to the University of Minnesota.

The U’s theater department will stage “The Pope and the Witch” in early March. A national Catholic group this week began urging Minnesota Catholics to “rebel” against performing it at the state’s flagship campus. Internet bloggers questioned whether the university would produce a play like “Pope” that lampooned Islam or Judaism.

On the other hand;

U leaders say the play will go on and that the university must be a place for even unpopular views. As for religious controversy, a spokesman noted that the U this month will play host to a gay Muslim activist speaking on “the lives of queer Muslims.”

You can guess which event will stir real “outrage“.

I love how Pope Benedict says he is deeply upset at the Muslim outrage. I believe he is honest, but I also believe he timed his statement and made it, as a rallying cry against the murderous Islamic militants.

HE said what he said in his liberal homeland of Germany.

HE said it before his trip to Turkey, a nation he opposes entering the Christian (barely) EU.

HE has not apologized. Nor do I believe he will. Nor do I believe he should.

Meanwhile, the Mohammedan faithful firebomb churches and burn effigies of the most holy figure on the planet in response to a quote said 700 years ago. But The Prophet forbid you hit a mosque with a stray artillery shell.

Keep it up, Ummah... you're cruising for a bruising.

Last year, at a private seminar, the Pope implied that he agreed with conservative Muslim clerics that the teachings of the Koran cannot be modified in any way. More-over, Islam, unlike Christianity, makes no distinction between sacred and secular.

"The Koran is a total religious law," he wrote in 1996, "which regulates the whole of political and social life." Therefore, a devout Muslim living in the West must aspire to live under sharia law. A multi-faith society "is not consistent with Islam's inner nature".

Because, the current philosophy of the Democrat Party is so hostile to Bible based Christianity and its principles, almost any Christian priest or pastor's sermon could be interpreted as an attack on the Democrat party, and I can easily imagine a President HR Clinton (may it never happen) using the IRS as a weapon against the 'Religious Right'.

Muslims need to understand...the pope's comments were in German. The words, "evil", "inhuman", and "sword" were mistranslated from the original German text. So you must know German in order to understand what he truly meant!

No, waitaminute...the pope was actually translating comments from a 14th-century Byzantine emperor. So now, you must know emperor Manuel II Paleologus' language (whatever that was) to know what HE truly meant!

I find it passing strange that the Media has failed to pick up on the fact that the actions of these muslims seen to actually reinforce the idea that Islam is a barbaric, violent and oppresive system of beliefs. Wait a minute..no I don't as it has been the position of the Media all along that Muslim anger and violence can only be percipitated by the actions or words of non-Muslims.


By threatening the Pope with beheading as well as firebombing Christian Churches the Muslims show that the Pope did indeed "get it right" and the only thing these Muslims are truely angry about is that he actually had the aydacity to call them out publically.


I have seen signs during these protests telling the Pope to "remember his limits" and believe that this is a loud and clear message that Muslims continue to believe that "Christians" are "ok" as long as they "remember their place".


And what might that place be, you ask? Why the place that Christians have in an Islamic society, that of a second class citizen, a Dhimmi that knows better than to insult his betters.


Itis clearly deliniated in the Koran that a "Dhimmi" that fails to "know his place" and insults a Muslim, forfiets his right to the "protection of Islam" and can be, not to mention should be according to the ditates of Islam, be put to death.

When they're done apologizing for all of that, I want them to either reform their violent and repressive ideology or convert to one of many religions or atheism--all of which are morally superior to Islam.

Don't be overconfident about Hillary. You know, it isn't a done deal that the Dhimmis won't win the House, which means articles of impeachment will likely be offered.


The Senate will likely be awfully close to 50/50. Now, IIRC, 67 votes to convict in the Senate and remove Bush and Cheney from office, giving us President Pelosi (may God forbid).


Chafee will vote to convict, he voted against Bush in the general election in 2004. Lindsey Graham, Collins, Snowe, Specter, maybe McCain. All Democrats except maybe Lierberman, if he beats Lamont, will vote for conviction. Doesn't quite add up to 67 votes, but maybe the Republicans lose a few more key Senatorial races than expected...

Respectfully, you might want to give thought to a couple things before reaching conclusions about the Pope expressing regret that Muslims "have been offended."

1. While we are engaged in this dialog from our comfy safe arm chairs with no blood on the line he is directly responsible for the Catholics that will die as a result of his actions. Bet on it that he knew full well before he made the statement that Catholic churches would be attacked and that Catholics would suffer and die for his standing up against forced conversions and that he is putting himself in the bullseye as well (though I would bet the real weight on his heart is the pain to his flock).

2. He did not apologize for what he said. He expressed regret that muslims took offense at what he said.

3. No one directly responsible for those Fox reporters forceably convereted (not their religious leaders, not their political leaders, not their industry leaders) spoke up against forced conversion. Only the Pope at the risk of his people.

Other than the Crider plant, there isn't much in Stillmore. Four small stores, a coin laundry and a Baptist church share downtown with City Hall, the fire department and a post office. "We're poor but proud," Mayor Marilyn Slater said, as if that is the town motto.

The 2000 Census put Stillmore's population at 730, but Slater said uncounted immigrants probably made it more than 1,000. Not anymore, with so many homes abandoned and the streets practically empty.

"This reminds me of what I read about Nazi Germany, the Gestapo coming in and yanking people up," Slater said.

Oh yeah, just like the gestapo. Riiight.

It was an apology in diplo-speak. Splitting hairs over the exact words is useless.

If the Pope backed down because he was afraid Muslims around the world would go on a Catholic-killing spree, then the Muslims have won. "Don't anybody say anything bad about us or we'll kill you."

The fact is, if the Muslims kill and slaughter, that is the Muslims responsibility, not anyone else's.

And the should be held to account for the countless murders they have already committed.

I'd love to see a Pope declare it's time for another Crusade, and see what happens.

Islam does believe Jesus was on the cross...They believe someone else took his place.

Huh? Would you explain that

?

In Islam, Jesus (Arabic Isa) is considered one of God's most beloved and important prophets, a bringer of divine scripture, and also the Messiah. Furthermore, the Virgin Birth of Jesus is an article of faith. Muslims, however, do not share the Christian belief in the crucifixion or divinity of Jesus. Islam teaches that Jesus was raised bodily to heaven. Most Muslims believe that Jesus will return to the earth as Messiah in the company of the Mahdi once the earth has become full of sin and injustice. [Link: en.wikipedia.org...] .According to Islam, Jesus never died on the cross, nor ever wanted to die on the cross, nor ever was born to die on the cross. Muslims believe that Jesus was sentenced to death, and people thought that he got executed on the cross. The Holy Quran rejects this idea, and claims that it is a false one. Jesus never died on the cross, nor he ever died for anyone's sins. Let us look at what the Holy Quran (The Muslims Holy Scripture) says about this issue [Link: www.answering-christianity.com...]

The problem is Muslims cannot own up to Islam's bloody errors because they cannot contextualize violence as Judaism and Christianity can and because they are copying Mohammed's personal behavior.

"Because they know that a lot of Americans have big cans of whoop-ass ready to dump all over them , if they start.

I say: GO BUY THAT GUN AND LEARN TO USE IT."

But remember, the Muslim strategy is first to be a victim, then to demand protection, which then merges into privileges. The first of these is to be free of critism. But the next is to demand that non-muslims not be allowed to strike back. In Australia, Muslims now have territories wherein they are allowed to rape, pilage, and harrass non-muslims. The police protect them from the rath of the normals.

That article raised my blood pressure considerably. I sent the following letter to the local paper (San Jose Mercury) that ran the story...

Editor:

I can't believe the MSM is still peddling its gutter-trawling sob stories about the repatriation of illegal aliens. Is newspaper readership not yet low enough?

"Messy aftermath of immigration raids outrages small Ga. town" was standard issue for the genre, using manipulative pro-illegal language and a one-sided viewpoint. An official was quoted, comparing the lawful deportation of illegal aliens with jackbooted Nazi round-ups.

There was no balance on the side of law and American workers who benefit when illegal alien scabs are kept out of the workplace.

The only nod to reality was the mention that the chicken plant increased its wages by $1 per hour to attract citizen workers after the scabs were ousted.

Oh. Funny how that supply and demand thing works.

THE SONS OF ALLAH

I think many of you are under the mistaken impression that Muslims see themselves as victims or take offense too easily.

Sure, that's what it looks like on the surface.

But if you read the Koran, learn about the life of Mohammed and history of Islam, and study Islamic philosophy, you will find the real problem is, in fact, suggested by the Pope. Islam rejects the idea that The Creator is bound by rationality.

Ideologies that reject rationality are predictably and necessarily violent and dictatorial.

Or as I like to say about the Palestinians, there is no problem they won't try to solve through violence.

There is no reasoning with people who reject rationality. And forget about showing them that they complain about offenses they themselves commit.

Being irrational is not having to be consistent. It's analogous to "What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine." They are right when they have reason on their side, and they are just as right when they don't have reason on their side.

What matters to Muslims is not who is in principle right, but who gets their way.

There is no lie or twisted argument or hypocritical attitude that they won't embrace if/when it suits them.

So don't be surprised.

OIC Responds to Pope

By Suleyman Kurt, Mukremin Albayrak, Ankara
Saturday, September 16, 2006


The Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) convened to discuss whether there was a change in the function of the Papacy.

OIC Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said they would give a legal response to the pope.

Pope Benedict XVI’s recent remarks linking Islam to violence have offended Muslims all over the world, prompting fierce anger in Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, India and Indonesia.

The Pakistani Parliament condemned the Pope’s comments, and the Muslim Brothers called on the governments of Islamic countries to break relations with the Vatican if the Pope does not apologize..

Chairman of the World Union of Muslim Clerics Yusuf Kardawi stated the pope made “an unforgivable mistake” against Muslims and demanded an apology.

The Islamic Fiqh Academy (IFA), a subsidiary organ of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) has begun an inquiry into the pope’s statements in order to prepare a legal response.

Speaking to Zaman Daily, Ihsanoglu stated that the pope’s remarks had damaged dialogue efforts between Christianity and Islam.

“There would have been no rationalism in Christianity without Ibn Sina and Ibn Rushd,” Ihsanoglu said.

The Judas Goat: The “Substitution” Theory of the Crucifixion

Apocryphal scriptures bear witness to the adherence of this belief. In the Second Treatise of the Great Seth, one of the Nag Hammadi scrolls, it states:


“I did not succumb to them as they had planned… And I did not die in reality but in appearance, lest I be put to shame by them …For my death which they think happened [happened] to them in their error and blindness, since they nailed their man unto their death … It was another, their father, who drank the gall and the vinegar; it was not I. They struck me with the reed; it was another, Simon, who bore the cross on his shoulder. It was another upon whom they placed the crown of thorns … And I was laughing at their ignorance.”

The Koran states something similar:

“…they did not slay him, neither crucified him, only a likeness of that was shown to them.”

That is plain and simple BS.

Centuries of Christian Thought precede the meeting with the muslim "thinkers" who did only one thing, as usual, REport what they had got from the Greek philosophy.
(Exactly as it happened with the Indian DIGITS).

And not only that: Christianity has its roots in the Jewish Religion, which was already thousands of years old when JC came.
And ALL the Religious Thought of the Jewish Thinkers is reflected, in a way or another, in the original Christian Religion.

You are right that their worldview is driven by the confusing concept that no matter what they do, the infidel world appears to be superior to the Muslim world. And the rational not being a high calling in Islam, everything is labelled as sin in the West, while all of Mohammeds sins are called "good" and elevated to holiness.

Their version of utopia is Sharia law. Yet obviously there are Muslims who cannot conform to this and move to the West to benefit from the fruits of Western philosophy and religion.

Thank you for the view from another perspective..
Respectfully, I do feel that the Pope apologized (diplomatically) for his remarks, and I'm a little disappointed that he did. So many are afraid to state the truth about Islam because of potentially explosive repercussions, and the Pope has chosen to speak out. If he doesn't want to expose himself, or his followers, to danger at the hands of angry militant Muslims, then maybe he should just go the appeasement route that most other world leaders seem to embrace where radical Islam is concerned.

And as we've seen with Hitler and Nazi Germany, that only works for a limited time..then there's hell to pay anyways.

"The comments showed an inadequate understanding of Islam and (warrant) ... an apology to Muslims, the followers of a religion of peace and reconciliation," Afghanistan's foreign ministry said in a statement.

The country's fledgling lower house of the parliament at the start of its Saturday session also "strongly condemned" the pontiff's remarks made to university professors in Germany earlier this week.

I certainly agree with you about Bush and the ROP comments. He shouldn't perpetuate a lie

Listen to sean Hannity in the coming days...He was invited to the White House and ask to lay off Islam...so yesterday he told a caller that Mohammad and Islam have nothing to do with the war...I lost all respect for him.

"The War Song"
Culture Club

War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters

War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers

People fill the world
With narrow confidence
Like a child at birth
A man with no defense
Whats mine is my own
I wont give it to you
No matter what you say
No matter what you do

Now were fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Wont somebody help me?

Man is far behind
In the search for something new
Like a philistine
Were burning witches too
This world of fate
Must be designed for you
It matters what you say
It matters what you do

Now were fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Wont somebody help me?

After the bird has flown
He walked ten thousand
Miles back home

You cant do that to me, no
You cant do that to me
You cant do that to me, no
You cant do that to me

Now were fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Wont somebody help me?

Too late. Vatican is already backing down -


and here's the ignorant part...


by backing down, you don't get things any better - you SIMPLY SHOW HOW WEAK YOU ARE IN THE FACE OF ALMIGHTY *spit! ISLAM.


SOONER OR LATER WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GROW A SET OR JUST SAY TO HELL WITH IT.


My greatest fear at this point, is that we will not have the guts or the speed to respond. This is going to get out of hand very quickly, and if there is not a response that the islamofacists understand, we will continue to slide down an already slippery slope.


LGF...we may have to wake the country ourselves...

how...i don't know...

everyone seems satisfied with chatting among ourselves...

but there must be more we can do to rally the troops, spread the word and the truth, and get people ready for the turmoil ahead...

or do we simply keep preaching to the choir.


Charles, Zombie and the rest of you who are actively engaged in this fight I commend you for your actions. Let us know what we can do. I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting to do something beyond complain and whine and get mad on my keyboard...

Yeah, I'm with you on that one. The problem is, Islam doesn't like questioning. And because of taqiya and kitman, you always have to question the sincerity of what they are saying.

Any questions you have about Mohammed, even if intended simply to get at the truth, are considered insulting to their prophet.

252 ibrodsky  Sat, Sep 16, 2006 10:06:49am

Maimonides and Aquinas are two of my heroes.

They can be difficult and tedious to read. Maimonides sometimes comes across the wrong way due to his manner of writing. Aquinas inspired ridicule of those who debate "the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin."

It's hard to overstate how much the civilized world owes these two brilliant and radical thinkers. Living at a time when religion ruled every aspect of life, Maimonides suggested that religion must not contradict reason and facts discovered through human inquiry.

Aquinas taught us how to resolve disagreements. He calmly and patiently articulated the point being debated, and then presented each of the competing arguments as if it were his own. He showed how arguments could be sorted out through discussion, analysis, and honest/fair evaluation.

But in the opposite corner--no doubt wearing a ski mask and toting an AK-47--was the Muslim philosopher, al-Ghazali. This man ridiculed those who revered rationalism. He basically said "Allah doesn't need no stink'in rationality. He can do whatever he wants."

And that is what the Sons of Allah believe.

Know this.

He wouldn't be the first guy!

But that's the first I have heard of this. Do you have a link



Sean Hannity said he had been to the White House yesterday on his show but wouldnt say why...But Michael Medved did on his show...He informed everyone that he met with the POTUS today for 90 minutes...

He was not alone, Sean Hannity, he Michael Medved, Laura Ingraham, Mike Gallagher, Tony Snow and a couple of others were there with him...

He said that President Bush really does think (paraphrasing here) that islam has been hijacked/perverted, etc...Because this war really cannot be religion v. religion because everyone will be a loser...
I dont listen to Medved a friend told me...all I know is when Sean told the caller the Mohammad and Islam had nothing to with war...My wife and I just looked at each other with shock...not like him at all.

Your claim:

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Ok, lets go over the interchange.

You said:

It was an apology in diplo-speak. Splitting hairs over the exact words is useless.

If the Pope backed down because he was afraid Muslims around the world would go on a Catholic-killing spree, then the Muslims have won. . .

So in response I said:

Congratulations on feeling so comfortable handing down your verdict given as I said there is no blood on the line with either of us babbling anything we want.

Personally I have to lay claim to an extrodinary list of sins but thank the Lord He has blessed me with just a tiny bit of humility and so I won't be setting myself up as morally superior to Pope Benedict under these circumstances.

But you go ahead and feel free.

Clearer now?

You came to the verdict that the Pope didn't perform according to your standards.

I congratulated you on your comfort with that but explained that I did not share said comfort in judging -- primarily because as a sinner with no blood on the line I was certainly not going to set myself up as morally superior to the Pope.

Your accusation:

It looks like you're descending into ad hominems and mind-reading . . .

I'm interested in your definition of ad hominem. Please feel free to provide it and to provide the example from my post where I engaged in it if you feel compelled to pursue that claim.

As far as mind reading, you directed your verdict on the Pope to me explicitly. I'm not seeing the mind reading either.

257 Owl  Sat, Sep 16, 2006 10:09:59am

ok,chatting to ourselves - not everyone is satisfied with that I'm sure...but most of us...including me to this point...have been happy to come here and make fun of islam, enjoy each others' company, and post about the downfall of societies around the globe. . . and that's all fine and well...

but isn't there something more we can do? I don't mean anything nuts...I mean can we not find a better, faster, bigger way to spread the truth than me linking this blog to 20 friends...and of course, none of them probably even bother to read it - they're all ASLEEP. They just want to go about their lives eating and drinking, marrying and going to little leagure games...( anyone see a Biblical refrence here?)...doing what they've always done without thinking about what's going on - and honestly, they are probably better off than I am. I'm possessed by the urge to do whatever I can to STOP islam in it's tracks - within reason and within the law of course.

If they hit a US city again though...i don't think Americans will need any prompting...and I think the muslim world will be in for an eye-opening @$$ kickin'.
At least I would hope so.

"Bertone, walking into the crisis only a day after taking over as "deputy pope," said the 79-year-old Pope confirmed "his respect and esteem for those who profess the Islamic faith" and hoped his words would be understood "in their true sense."

The academic speech was meant as a "a clear and radical rejection of religiously motivated violence, wherever it comes from," said the statement, which came as criticism of the leader of the world's 1.1 billion Roman Catholics swelled.

That is certainly a lie. Daniel Pipes also has the President's ear and promotes this falsehood as well.

Pipes does not understand religion.

Bush may understand that if religion becomes the core issue, then it will endanger Christianity and Judaism as well because there are people in this country who wish to push religion completely out of the public sphere and only into private life. And that this could perhaps fuel that.

I'm sure the Pope would be extremely pained if his remarks caused any harm to come to Catholics (and other Christians).

However, I find it hard to believe that the Pope did not put a lot of thought into including these remarks in his address. And if he put any thought at all into it, he surely would have realized the potential negative reception from members of the Islamic community.

I respect him for his courage...maybe more of his followers need to take up the cross and follow. (me included)

In my humble part time blog freemanlivingood.com, I suggest that we need to flood the environment with cartoons mocking Islam. This would cause the expected riots, exposing these people and their agenda.

Judging by the open outrage exhibited by the Danish cartoons, they cannot control themselves and must call for beheadings, etc.

Keep this up until people wake up and are ready to fight this movement. It would cause world mayhem at first, but would we rather wait for the inevitible conflict on their terms? Or worse, just wait for them to acheive world domination as they quietly infiltrate until they have all the power to bring us to our knees.

We need to adhere to the truth and not be afraid. Bush should rather say nothing than repeat a lie.

People of faith should know why they believe what they do and to have an answer when asked. It is foolish to do otherwise.

What would it take for some of you to decide to fight?


They don't have to convert to Christianity...or anything else...but they must renounce islam. Stop practicing it as it is written in the koran. period. stop killing. stop bombing. stop the beheadings. stop the violence.

so what would it take for you to fight them? What if they started beheading people here? Your wife? Your neighbors? What if we had a massacre of schoolchildren here, in America by islamic facists? Would you spare them then? Let them continue to practice their religion? That's what Europe has done and I ask you - are they better off? Has the violence stopped? Are they pushing back the tide of evil that islam creates?

NO.

There will come a time when you will have to fight or submit and I pray to God that there will be enough of us in America still willing to preserve LIBERTY AT ANY COST.


If you are willing to let them live here, practice their cult of death, and slowly conquer this Republic because you are worried about we are hurting someone's feelings or worried about the other evil( liberalism) making all religion illegal( which isn't likely to happen as long as people refuse to stoop to their level), then we are in deep, deep trouble.

perhaps no one in the world has the guts to do what it takes - whatever it takes - to stop islam?


perhaps we are all already doomed...

as islam takes step after step after step toward world domination, we backpeddle, and apologize and second-guess ourselves. We squirm at the thought of having to do more than type or write. We hope our President, our government, or the Pope will save us. We hope the military will be used to destroy the enemy, but the Commander of the greatest military in the world still thinks that a great religion has been "hijacked".

You tell me what kind of shape we're in? You tell me how we're going to stop this cancer if we are too cowardly to even call a spade a spade.

I've feared for Europe, and other countries...Dafur...Bosnia...Spain...India...but I'm now starting to fear for even America.


I wonder what Washington, Jefferson, Henry, Adams, and Reagan would say...

they'd probably all be sick.


May we turn the tide, call the enemy by it's true name...islam...and RESOLVE ourselves, with or without our government...to defeating this enemy and assuring that Liberty lives on.

Islam only link to Christianity and Judism was the fact that their prophet needed to give his cult credibility, so therefore piggybacked on those religions where it served his needs.

There was no "provision" for Islam. Only Muslims should believe that these religions are somehow connected.

Mo was selling his followers on mission statement, not a religion. He resented the Christians and Jews and used his "chat's with Gabriel" to empower his group over their enemies. It's blasphemy, and WE are the ones who should be angry.

How many muslims got into the Country today ?
How many children are they having ?
How many muslims are already here ?

Twenty years ago, to tell the truth, I got very angry with a French journalist who wrote (on Le Figaro Magazine) that the muslims were "INVADING" France.

I found it racist and bigot, and meaningless, they were about two or three million souls...

Now they are 25 % of the population of Marseille, whole neighborhoods of Paris are off-limits for the Police.

Twenty years go by in a second, when you look back.

And the muslims have all the time of the world to keep invading the Free World.

Islam is really not the main problem. Islam could not stand against a unified West.

The problem is the ideaological vaccum in the West. The Left and their "progressive" philosophies have brought us to this point.

If we reclaimed truth and reasoning in our culture, taught it to our children and rejected post-modernism and its humanistic religion we would have an incredible spiritual, moral and material defense against Islam and anyone else.

This was about one of the topics, another point is:

you need weapons to defend yourself and your family in case of a serious emergency: as we have seen in New Orleans last year.

As I said, I have a whole list of reasons to own firearms, and I certainly own my share.

But I didn't see how my guns would help me from the direct threat of radical Muslims within the US. My guns don't stop their suitcase nukes, or prevent the bridge/building that suddenly explodes. The guns could help, indirectly, in the aftermath of a horrific (terrorist) event, a la New Orleans; where there is a breakdown of government services.

However, your points are well-taken, and I'll add radical Islam to my list of reasons to buy more ammo.

The problem is the ideaological vaccum in the West. The Left and their "progressive" philosophies have brought us to this point.

I can agree with that totally. The way I see it...the last 20 years of political correctness, and the last 50 years of earth worship have been the perfect "set up" for the onslaught of islam.

But I believe that islam is the most immediate problem we face. I understand your theory and it's dead on...but the unfortunate circumstance that islam was there to fill that void, still puts the burden on us to destroy islam.

I'm not sure we can turn hearts back at this point...i'm only sure we can destroy countries harboring terrorists...(and yet we do not)...

and your point puts my soul in deep dispair...


the void, if not filled with islam...will be filled by something...and if Nazi's were the first filler...and communism the second, then islamic facism is the third...

I'm afraid the 4th will be more than any country or culture can bear...

i'm going to stop now and get up from here...before more than we are ready to hear is written.


I love you guys and I hold out hope that we can prevail.

My guns don't stop their suitcase nukes

Here I go with the script:

commotion in the street.
gunfire.
you run to help a man who has been hit.
He tells you: stop those men, they have a bomb in the case.
And shows his FBI papers.
The other agents are dead as well.

Three men are running away from the scene, one carries a large case. They have been heard screming allahu akbar.

Have you renewed you concealed carry permit ? Do you have your gun with you ?

I love how Pope Benedict says he is deeply upset at the Muslim outrage. I believe he is honest, but I also believe he timed his statement and made it, as a rallying cry against the murderous Islamic militants.

HE said what he said in his liberal homeland of Germany.

HE said it before his trip to Turkey, a nation he opposes entering the Christian (barely) EU.

HE has not apologized. Nor do I believe he will. Nor do I believe he should.

Meanwhile, the Mohammedan faithful firebomb churches and burn effigies of the most holy figure on the planet in response to a quote said 700 years ago. But The Prophet forbid you hit a mosque with a stray artillery shell.

Keep it up, Ummah... you're cruising for a bruising.

Well put, I agree 100%. Especially on the point of the Pope not apologizing; he expressed sincere regret at the Muslim reaction and called for rational discouse between the faiths, as a Pope should. His courageous statements about jihad and violence to spread Islam still stand.

I can definately appreciate your perspective and moreso I appreciate your courtesy.

I am a very blunt person (there's an understatement). I have little tolerance for pussy footing around.

And I'm thick headed.

It took until seeing those little girls being slaughtered in indonesia for it to really be driven home for me (as a Catholic even) the terrible burden on the Pope.

And I know from discussions with other Catholics that Catholics (in the comfortable west) do not want the Pope to back down.

But it's not just those of us in the comfortable west he has to worry about. Christians in the east and middle east are the ones that are vulnerable. While we can say we're willing to take up our cross they really have to and already are.

So actually I think you'd find that among western devout Catholics we don't want to back down.

Anyway, I can live with those who politely express concerns about what the Pope feels he needs to do for those that do have blood on the line.

What I hope I don't see at least this time is the piling on that has occurred even on the right by those with no blood on the line.

#112 Poitiers-Lepanto:

Why aren't the muslims rioting and burning churches in America ?
BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T THE NUMBERS, YET.


There's another reason too: American Muslims are a different demographic of Muslims.

Most American Muslims are still the native Black Muslim movement (Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan, etc.), who are more like African nationalists than like Arab jihadists.

Whereas in Britain, many of their Muslims are the worst kind of Muslims--Pakistani immigrants and children of Pakistani immigrants. The Paks are the most wacko Muslims of all, the ones who routinely beat their wives and think Osama bin Laden is a great hero and so on.

320 brenda  Sat, Sep 16, 2006 11:37:07am

Benedict is also in a tough spot because he could easily be a general with no troops. He does reside in Europe, where there is little support for a tough stand against the ROP. The secular moonbat press will work to diminish his stature by accusing him of being out of touch with modern realities -- just the opposite of the truth, naturally.

He also follows a dhimmi Pope, the Koran kisser, who spoiled the Allah boys to a dangerous degree.

I agree that being stronger sooner is the way to go, because demography is against us. But Benedict may have had a different strategy in mind than to have Mooskis go postal so early into his pontificate.

I hear you, and (believe it or not!), I agree with what you're saying. There are many Christians in other parts of this world who will probably suffer over the interpretation of the Pope's remarks by the Radical Islamic community. And I'm sure the Pope will be heartbroken.

Here is where my problem comes in:
The Pope must have included these remarks in his speech purposely (I would assume he prepares his speeches in advance). I find it hard to imagine that he did not anticipate angry backlash from Islamists, who appear to take offense at any less-than-glowing reference to Islam. (eg: Danish cartoons). Was it a mistake? Was it a call to the leaders of Islam for a truthful dialogue with the Catholic Church? Was it a wake-up call to his flock that Islam is not as peaceful as many world leaders purport it to be? (Obviously not directed to those Catholics already victimized by Islamic radicals!) Only the Pope himself will ever know.

I truly believe he knew what he wanted to accomplish (whatever that was)when he included this quote in his speech, or he would have probably used more general terms to get his point across. If he had second thoughts after the fact, or truly wasn't aware what the repercussions would be, then an apology for hurt feelings probably was in order.

I also thank you for your courtesy...

Superninja, I agree with you wholeheartedly. We wouldn't have to plot to fight Islam in such a desperate manner if we didn't have leftist looneys among us, weakening and destroying our nation and our people.

But Owl, I agree with you too, that we should try to DO more, rather than just sit around and draw comfort from talking about our fears and concerns with other like minded people.

Perhaps there is a way to merge both of your points. Maybe some slick, factual brochures to be handed out everywhere and left everywhere, in public places, in doctor's offices, on car windshields, in bathrooms, in restaurants, on college bulletin boards, etc, etc. The brochure should include quick facts at a glance as well as links to LGF and Robert Spencer and other good blogs. We have some good people on our side (zombie and Charles and Robert Spencer and Michelle Malkin, Melanie Phillips, Debbie Schlussel, and so many more -- too many to name) but we need even more, and we need to support them in any way we can as they try to get the word out. I would hope that at least SOME moonbats would be "awakened" by that information effort, and others who are on our side but not yet activated might get "activated." We do need more consciousness raising in this country, though to tell you the truth, I am hard-pressed to know what would do it if airplanes plowing into buildings and scores of everyday innocent Americans plunging to their deaths from the dizzying heights of fiery infernos didn't do it already. Still, we must not give up. There has to be a tipping point, somewhere, and we must press on until we reach it.

I agree, I see it as a given that the Pope fully anticipated that churches would be attacked and that Christians would suffer and die as a result of his remarks.

I believe he had already started a very careful and elaborate dance though and this is part of it.

This is far from the first time he has stood up for the truth on the Islam front.

But he must do his dance on a tight rope.

And even so there will be much suffering among our most vulnerable brothers and sisters.

This is the ultimate no win situation. There is going to be suffering no matter what -- Catholics died for the danish cartoons -- they will die no matter what. The myrid questions start with things like what is gained and sacrificed under the various courses. I'm happy that I'm not the one burdened with making the choices and I believe he is doing what he must and I can do nothing but offer my prayers that our Lord holds him close and makes him strong in the face of this because I believe he fully anticipated and accepts responsibility for the suffering in his flock. My heart just breaks for him and those that will pay.

"Congratulations on feeling so comfortable..."

I never informed you about whether I was feeling comfortable or not. I might have been quite uncomfortable saying it. But you assumed you knew. That's mind reading.

"...handing down your verdict..."

Characterizing my stated opinion as me "handing down a verdict" is ad hominem argument since it's about me, not about my stated opinion.

This is really basic stuff, KG.

There are ways to talk about the ideas without an attempt to be outwardly insulting.

I think the Pope's remarks, for instance, are talking about the foundational thinking in Islam.

If they are so insulted, refute it.

Islam is really not the main problem. Islam could not stand against a unified West.

The problem is the ideaological vaccum in the West. The Left and their "progressive" philosophies have brought us to this point.

If we reclaimed truth and reasoning in our culture, taught it to our children and rejected post-modernism and its humanistic religion we would have an incredible spiritual, moral and material defense against Islam and anyone else.

Right you are. Jihad is an opportunistic infection taking advantage of a cultural immune system that has been continually weakened by the left's assault.

If the left were able to focu even 10% of the rage they feel toward Bush, Republicans, conservatives and Christian we might actually have a chance of saving our situation.

Given how many are still asleep 5 years post 9-11, I'm afraid it's going to take something even more horrible before a critical mass will begin to wake up, and even that is not assured, I'm afraid to say.

Well, it was bound to happen:

Iranian paper: Israel, US wrote Pope's speech
Published: 09.17.06, 12:50

An editorial in the Iranian newspaper "Jomhoria Islami" accused Israel and the United States of writing the speech for Pope Benedict XVI which angered many Muslims worldwide.

The editor of the paper, which is thought to be associated with the Iranian spiritual leader Ayatollah Khamenei, claimed that Israel and the US are looking to divert the international public opinion from "the defeat of the Zionist army against Hizbullah in the war in Lebanon."
