The Jihad Joes are at it again.....

I was just reading an article in the paper about some of the reactions in the Muslim world over the weekend:

A NUN was killed by gunmen and churches were firebombed in an apparent escalation of violence over the Pope's speech about Islam last week.

Sister Leonella Sgorbati (65) was shot four times in the back by two men at the front of a hospital in the Somali capital Mogadishu.

Her bodyguard was also killed.


also:

An Iraqi insurgent group, the Mujahidin Army, threatened a suicide bomb attack against the Vatican.

Addressed to "the dogs of Rome" it said: "Our minds will not rest until we shake your thrones and break your crosses in your home."


The reason? The pope quoted from a 14th-century Byzantine emperor, Manuel II Paleologus, in a conversation with a “learned Persian” on Christianity and Islam — “and the truth of both.”

“Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread the sword by the faith he preached,”

He apologized yesterday but "stopped short of the full apology or retraction demanded by some Muslims. Most still insisted his speech portrayed Islam as tainted by violence."

Tainted by violence? No shit? "Someone said that our religion is a violent one. Let us refute their argument by torching some buildings and killing some people". So at exactly what part of becoming a muslim do you achieve the emotional maturity of a 4-year-old? It's like the Mohammed cartoons earlier this year - again the fuzzy-wuzzies went ape-shit. Yes they may be offensive to islam. Yes what the pope said may be offensive. But you have muslim clerics saying way worse about the "western zionist crusader infidel dogs" every day, do you see us rioting in the street and burning mosques?

I have one message to all the rioters and pissed-off

GROW THE FUCK UP! GET A SENSE OF PERSPECTIVE!

If you have a problem with what someone says, tell them you have a problem and try to deal with it in a civilized manner. Throwing a strop whenever someone says something you don't like is not a way to make people take you seriously.
