What's up with the Pope Lately
Now I am not a Catholic so I never much cared for the Pope. Recently it seems like he is being attacked for reading some statements written over 600 years ago. I think he is being attacked needlessly but that is my opinion. He must have said something true and struck a nerve in the Muslim world.

Muslims cant take anything, or talk about things normally. The world is blackmailed by the islam.
From the news: "blablablabla - people in Jordan trew monokovcocktails at churches because the pope linked the Islam with violence.
Being so moronic that it becomes ironic
ontopic:
The pope can say those things, and he gave a perfectly fine explanation, while our great Iranian leaders fail to do that. I haven't heard them apologies for anything they said. Maybe its time to make a nice fire at the local mosk, and smack some one to death like they did with the italian non.

Re: What's up with the Pope Lately
it would be the same as if there was a leader of the muslim faith reading something derogatory about mary/jesus/god/etc, i would imagine you would be upset about something like that - even if it was written by someone else 600 years ago.

Re: What's up with the Pope Lately
i wouldnt rule it out, the way all religion is becoming radicalised and extremist nowadays. - besides such things im sure happened in the past around the time of the crusades.
edit : as an afterthought, its also concerning the number of cults there are like scientology, and the 'tactics' they use to deal with people.
Thats a group i can easily see turning violent

Re: What's up with the Pope Lately
Could you show me a few examples of Christianity or Catholicism becoming radicalised and extreme?
I really dont see how you can ever compare the actions of Christianity/Catholicism with the actions of the Islamists. Especially with the recent cartoon gibberish.

Re: What's up with the Pope Lately
obviously you are blind to the fundamentalist nutjobs that are around.
Also, certain states in america contain a high number of such extremist christians and catholics, such as texas or louisiana.
theres also things like this

Re: What's up with the Pope Lately
I'm not denying there arent nutjobs, however comparing these nutjobs to the embassy attacking, flag burning, death-to-the-west calling, murderous mobs that we see replicated all over the world, is pretty damned ridiculous .

yes, since you (and thefoundation who seems to just be a troll ) were the one who brought the extremists and their actions up.
the outrage to what was said as far as i can tell from various news sources is universal, as it would be if the positions were reversed im sure.

Yeah. Because that's the only way people ever get annoyed at something bad said about them. If it's true.

That's more a socio-economic issue than one specifically connected to the nature of the religion itself.

Re: What's up with the Pope Lately
Yeah, i just thought the whole "we're not violent, and if you say we are we'll burn churches and murder 80 year old nuns just to prove you wrong" was actually quite amusing.
Except for the nun, ofc.

Don`t forget the "Inquisition" set up first by the Roman Catholic church in the 12th century. Himmler and Stalin learnt from these people.

When 8 out of 10 Muslim organisation who responded on the pope's statings use violence, then i must say the pope is pretty correct.
i can only say that al-qaida is retarded, you said where violent so we're forced to kill you. The pope probably made a statement to provoke a discussion not violence. ****ing retards.
And for the person who brought christian extremism into this discussion, **** you, take my 5 cents and buy a brain. The scale is different, a few KKK mainly racial extremist cant be compared to the Islamic extremism. Hippie, bet you will remain non discriminant till the world is 1 war zone. Well this isn't discrimination this is the world biggest enemy. This is the truth and this is risk analyzation.

Yes, using a historical example of why forced conversion is bad definitely doesn't apply now and will never apply in the future. Human society changes 1000% with each generation, and people never react the same way to anything ever. It's why we no longer have newspapers, they were invented over a hundred years ago for christ's sake.

Re: What's up with the Pope Lately
Our past is a good example of how those muslims are now
Religious fanatics, that react the same as we would have a few hundred years back
Trying to convert people by force

Your argument would receive more sympathy if it was against 'organised religion', rather than simply 'the religion receiving most media coverage at this moment in time, after having been subordinated and degraded by the West and Western religious leaders'. As it is, you just look like a racist idiot.

Re: What's up with the Pope Lately
I can never understand why we refuse to actually speak plainly. Shall I do it for the world?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Islam, Christianity has a far worse history of violence. But we are not playing a blame game pretending that Islam or Christianity are one unified religion. The problem here is wahhabism. Just like the anabaptists once were. Wahhabism is wrong.

It's not a question of civilisation. It's poverty inspiring hatred. There are always radicals and terrorists. What differs is the extent to which desperate populations will support them. If you look back through Islamic history this becomes readily apparent.

Of course they don't. They look at it through the eyes of desperate people.

Yes, but it is easier to look back at the context 600 years ago than it is now. Scholars usually point to the general direction of the truth through debate and academic journals. In the present time it is more difficult due to conflicting media. I would be inclined to give the Pope some slack until we fully realise the context in which his comments were made, because at the moment the stage we at is who's shouting the loudest between the two world views involved
