"Don't Use Your 14th Century Quotes" Reflux REDUX

I should have said "Don't use your 14th century quotes on 14th century neanderthals mentalities". Yes, yes ~ they're burning sh*t in the street YET again


...to prove how advanced and tolerant Islam/Muslim culture really is.

Turkish official......compares pope to Hitler
Politician joins outcry across Muslim world over pontiff's comments in Islam

Everybody's Hitler these days ~ give it a rest, why doncha.
...Turkey's top Islamic cleric, Religious Affairs Directorate head Ali Bardakoglu, asked Benedict on Thursday to apologize about the remarks and unleashed a string of accusations against Christianity, raising tensions before the pontiff's planned visit to Turkey in November on what would be his first papal pilgrimage in a Muslim country.

...On Friday, Salih Kapusuz, a deputy leader of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's party, said Benedict's remarks were either "the result of pitiful ignorance" about Islam and its prophet, or worse, a deliberate distortion of the truths.

"He has a dark mentality that comes from the darkness of the Middle Ages. He is a poor thing that has not benefited from the spirit of reform in the Christian world*," Kapusuz blurted out in comments made to the state-owned Anatolia news agency. "It looks like an effort to revive the mentality of the Crusades."


*Isn't that the oddest thing for him to say?

..."Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said.

Oh, you're tellin' us...

Much of the Muslim world can be characterized as spoiled, immature children with guns.

Children with NUKES.

But that's not so much what disgusts me ~ it's your average Muslim in the street. What HE does to his fellow citizens in the name of all things holy ~ is terrifying.
