What do you think about the Pope's comments?

I'm catholic so my opinion is probably biased but I think he was dead on. He should, however, been politically correct enough to keep that comment to himself. Pope John Paul was a friendly looking guy, perfect for spreading the message of love and peace. This new guy looks like the emporor from Star Wars.

Imho, if we ever reach the day when religious leaders have to be politically correct we might as well sleep in on Sundays. No reason to go to church if the preacher is afraid of offending someone with the truth...
The Pope made a comment that was true, that we've seen evidence of recently, that made people act exactly like he said they had in the past.

SOTO:
I had forgotten about the Nazi thing. Apparently I paid better attention in US History than World History. You caught me running at the mouth before I saddled up my brain.

I don't think this Pope will back down (I could be wrong...I'm allowed to be wrong just as much as the next guy, more if you talk to my wife).

Any race that wipes their anus with their hands need to be eradicated. Before this gets deleted or I get banned, they are doing a fine job killing their own people. They have been acting that way since before Christ, so no Pope or war or time will change it. Anyone been to Michigan lately. It's like the little mideast. Holy Crap!

Your mixing up arabs and muslims yes their are alot of arab muslims but not everyone that is a muslim is arab and not every one who is arab is a muslim. Also Islam has only been around 1400. Which is 600 years after Jesus.

ok i found it: :notsure:
"There is no compulsion in religion". According to the experts, this is one of the suras of the early period, when Mohammed was still powerless and under threat. But naturally the emperor also knew the instructions, developed later and recorded in the Qur'an, concerning holy war. Without descending to details, such as the difference in treatment accorded to those who have the "Book" and the "infidels", he addresses his interlocutor with a startling brusqueness on the central question about the relationship between religion and violence in general, saying: "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached".
yeah its pretty offensive. if you want to read more i will post the link next.

The Pope isn't like Madonna or

Just like the President and the Prime Minister, they speak for their own. That is his right, to speak his mind. Just because someone is a high-ranking individual in society doesn't mean they should 'keep something to themselves'. He spoke about something very important.
