The pop's regret

may peace prevail.

while 1.3 billion muslims are not coming into the streets, burning and destroying infrastrucutre, the outrageous actions of these few hardliners and fundamentalists are determined to prove the pope right and further alienate and convince the west, who unfortunately do not seem to understand that islam is above all a belief system and does not fuel terrorism.

lfc123 do u know what u are saying????????hellooooo are u sleep writing...hahhaha

The popeis just showing his color. Afterall, he was in hitler's bootcamp as a child.

imi, i might not a muslim scholar or have studied theology, but i believe that islam is a religion, a belief system for more tahn a billion people. listen to what mainstream scholars have to say, how most citizens in the middle east feel.. they have never justified countless terrorist acts brought upon by these disillusion, mindless youths. as for thier frustration with america, well they may have the right to be frustrated. i dont' know much about that. i find some aspects of islam very disturbing personally, like the one to kill all polytheists and idolators and that applies to hindus and i am a hindu; so according to quran i should be killed. the command to slay and spread religion by sword is again is also quite violent. but i have never met a muslim who thinks that polytheists should be murdered or all jews and christians are enemies or that they should be killed. but again, all the muslsims that i have come are relativly moderate and liberal. my point is, islam is a belief system for more than a billion people around the world. yes tehre are some horrific, devastating tragedies brought about by some of these people claiming to fight for their faith, but it is not right or fair to the rest to make a judgemnt on thier faith.most of the muslism are just ordinary people trying to remain alive, trying to cope with decades of war, mournign the deaths of thier dear ones ........... just because the news does not claim : NEWSFLASH: BILLION MUSLISMS ARE NOT TERRORISTS AND ARE NOT ATTACKING NON-MUSLIMS does not mean we should believe all of them as alike. there is no black and white aspect of this. if there were, this new clash of monotheism would not be such a complicated, intricrate problem in modern history to this very moment.

i agree with you ..no religion teaches violence..but the difference comes here(i am not saying all are like that) - the interpretation of islam and how religion and politics are linked in these islamic states..there is the main problem. i donot claim billions of muslims are terrorist infact 99% of muslims are good .but that 1% is a lot these days to handle :)

there is nothing wrong with religion and politics being linked. while i am glad that church and state are sperate in nepal, but in places like saudi arabia, iran, egypt and algeria, church and state are very interlinked and just because they are interlinked does not imply they support terrorism. so there, the two being interlinked is not a problem imi. whiel a lot of terrorists adovcate for a strict interpreation of sharia law governing and leading the muslim countires, waht they reallyyyy demand in thier jihad is western countires stop interfereing in their personal matters, stop supporting israel, stop infereing in chechyna and kashmir, stop infering in almost all the islamic nations actually..they just want western influence out. again, some of these muslims may have the right to be frustrated because they too have have oppressed a lot, but they blatantly attack innocent lives and citizens, which mind you, is not permitted by quran. and with the islamic resurgence only growing aorund the world, this conflict is only getting bigger. as for religions teaching violence, please, all religions have some violent or militaristic aspect to it and so does islam and hinduiim (mahabharta?) and all the other wars that take place in the sky.

What an insecure pope!!! Had to insult others' religion/prophet to make his own religion look better.... Being such an influential person, if he HAD TO, he could have opened his gob to say something nice about Islam so that the average muslims could feel better about themselves... Instead of trying to narrow the gap between the two religions, this a$$hole had to create animosity and let this violence happen... Having said that, i do think that the offended muslims could have handled the issue in a mature manner... This could have been a not so bad opportunity for them to give the world a better impression about Islam... As if the so called Islamic terrorist acts are not enough to give Islam a bad name, these extremists had to use violence as the ultimate means *rolling eyes*...

oh cool down Moks, This is what i have to say about religion. Religion is a poison. If its not then its something that makes dumb a dumber.

lol Siddie i'm cool.. I just don't like the double standard that some of these christian leaders hold; be it the Pope or Mr. Bush....

i thought it was pope and not pop... never realized I had been wrong all these years.. i guess thats y they say u learn something new everyday... lol... take it ez u all... ps.. stop listenning to what pope has to say or what muslims react to anything. .. cause u know what it is gonna be.. maybe u might wanna check some books on buddhism ... just a thought..

This is what i don't understand: When biggest Religious leaders of ISLAM openly insults other religion..nobody dares to speak out...and when pope said something what he didn't really meant .All the muslims are mad along with few so called open minded psheudo liberals outhere. hahahaha Now all muslims dominated country christians have to be scared ...this is what i call freedom of religion.. freedom of expression is only when muslims speaks when other express themself then it is insult!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gajab cha ba...intelligent garu ko kunai kami chaina sajah ma...
