____________

Crusade wars in Western history portrays Saladin [a hero] as an antagonizer where he was defending his people on the contrary. Spread of Christianity with sword at the time was no where mentioned. Now accusing ancient muslims of using their filthy method. Too much tv for Benedict is bad for his brain, doesn't he know? Oh I get it, "Bin Laden" represents Islam.

Answer 1

FUNNY, WHOS PERSPECTIVE. WHOS HISTORY. IF ITS NOT WHITE HISTORY WHY DO THEY HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY.

Answer 2

The fact that even so-called "peaceful" Muslim clerics have long been insulting and slandering Christianity and call for an outrage whenever someones dare question even a little, Islam.  Also the fact that Muslims love to call themselves the "religion of peace" yet adamantly refuse to apologize for the violent actions of their extremist members (who seem to have an awfully high number for being a "very small part of the faith").

Oh and if you've actually been brainwashed into thinking Saladin was a HERO you might wanna pick up a history book sometime and check out all the raping, pillaging, and murdering for fun he did.

Answer 3

I  think its likely because of Muslim Extremists, all the fighting and Terror and the fact that Muslims seem to hate Americans so much and also that they worship a false Prophet.  However I dont agree with all Catholics do either. Im just a Christian from Texas.

Answer 4

wat about Muslim Jihadists??

Answer 5

The pope was just reading a quote, but the implication is agreement with it.  Besides that, he failed to mention the Crusades and if he wanted to make a comparison or a value judgment of some sort he would need to take the Crusades into account.

Other than that, I find organized religion quite amusing. People go nuts over fictitious dogma that has no bearing on anything.  It's truly amazing.

The result of all that religious idiocy is that more people have died in religious wars than from any other cause, a very bad reflection on these hypocritical religious nitwits, the pope included.

Answer 6

Absolutely anything "insults" them, even bathing.

Answer 7

Any so-called religion that calls for killing all infidels that will not convert to Islam is killer dogma, not a loving religion. Conversion by  force is not a real conversion. Terrorists will torture at every chance they get, and always have...there is no negotiating with them. Weak liberals want to protect the rights of terrorists over the protection of Americans. Conservatives are willing to torture one or more terrorists to save YOUR life...will you let them do it. Would you choose a slow death at the hands of terrorists or a quick death by having your head cut off. Question of the day: Which would you choose, [1] 9 tortured terrorists and 9000 live Americans, or [2] no tortured terrorists and 9000 dead Americans. The terrorists have a goal of killing millions, not just thousands. War is war. Let's do what has to be done, and then the war can end. The Pope is a courageous man simply quoting another historical person. The so-called "good" muslims are not being outspoken against the "few" that are willing to kill most people on the earth and even more willing to die a martyr. The top leaders of the terrorists, however, are exempting themselves from martyrdom for a time long enough to show mothers and fathers how to strap bombs onto their children and go kill Jews, and then you and your family.

Answer 8

Personally, I think a lot of power hungry politicians and the media just want to keep adding fuel to the fire. And sadly, it's working... :o(
