Muslims Protesting Pope with Fire Bombs

[minha_raposa 0]

ISTANBUL, Turkey - Leaders across the Muslim world demanded Pope Benedict XVI apologize for his remarks on Islam and jihad, unmoved by the Vatican's assurances that he meant only to emphasize the incompatibility between faith and war.

The torrent of rage unleashed by Benedict's comments in a speech in Germany stirred fears of violent anti-Western protests like those that followed the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.

Two churches in the West Bank were hit by firebombs Saturday, and a group claiming responsibility said it was protesting Benedict's words. Scattered protests elsewhere, however, have been peaceful.

Benedict cited an obscure Medieval text that characterizes some of the teachings of Islam's founder as "evil and inhuman" — comments some experts took as a signal that the Vatican was staking a more demanding stance for its dealings with the Muslim world.

Well now...seems to me like the Muslim ACTIONS certainly give credibility to what the Pope said! Still, we NEVER, EVER see muslims proclaiming peace get get as fired up and protest against terrorists as they do against the non-muslim world.

This does not respresent the actions of any form of CIVILIZED society!
