Somebody Hit a Nerve?
The other day, B16 quoted a Byzantine emperor who thought that Islam was inhumane and evil. He has also made some comments about "the darkness of barbarism" that is islamofascism.
And how does the Muslim community respond to these accusations? Do they condemn the comments and offer to discuss this with civil discourse and debate? (ok... a few did... sort of) Did they explain that Islam is just misunderstood, and they really didn't spread their faith by the sword. (ok... a talking head did try to do that on O'Reilly... but let's not forget that lying to infidels is not only tolerated but encouraged in the Koran.) What did they do? They bombed three churches. Yup... that was the civil way to handle it.
What makes their response so... morbidly humorous... is that only one of those churches was a Roman Catholic church. Evidently, ostracizing other Christian denominations is the way to win friends and influence strangers.
Good luck with that. Really.
