Story notes “Several of the Islamic leaders who rose to condemn Benedict in the last several days have cast him as part of what they see as a vast Western conspiracy against Islam, and have put him in the same category as President Bush.” (LA Times) From a 39 year-old lawyer in the UK: “The Muslims take their religion very seriously and non-Muslims must appreciate that and that must also understand that there may be serious consequences if you insult Islam and the prophet. Whoever insults the message of Mohammed is going to be subject to capital punishment." (Daily Mail)
My two cents: Get over it. Tell your other Muslim brothers to stop beheading people on the six o'clock news and then we can talk. A nun was shot dead in Somalia by Islamic gunmen and churches came under attack in Palestine. That doesn't really help your case Islam.
One yahoo was quoted in the paper as saying "Whoever insults the message of Mohammed is going to be subject to capital punishment." Ahh no, that's not the way the world works. You see, one guy was holding a sign that read "Jesus is the slave of Allah". Well that offends me, but I'm not going to kill you or burn a pile of bed sheets that sort of look like you. Just when that whole cartoon thing died down the 'religion of peace' now wants to kill the pope. Get over it!
