Reply to: Muslim anger at Pope speech

[bogeyman]

I think they should make a film about it

The Pope Must Die?

I think our Muslim brothers are probably already writing the screenplay

Mel Gibson & the Pope would be a nice pair to invite around to dinner.

A rabid jew hater and an ex Hitler youth member.

Come to think of it, they would probably fit in quite well here.

I wonder what they think about NL/IR35/SKA ?

Looks a bit like Mel Gibson...

I think Mel turned down a role in the Life of Brian.

I believe you are right. If he himself had opined that islam is bad, he'd be contravening it. But I'm not sure how it stands with him quoting someone else.

I've noticed over the years that the mullahs never knock jesus.

Hardly surprising given that Islam recognises Christ as a prophet, here is what wikipedia has to say ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_view_of_Jesus


Main article: Jesus

Islam holds Jesus (Prophet Isa) to have been a messenger and a prophet of God and the Messiah .

[1] According to the Qur'an, he was one of God's (Arabic Allah) most beloved messengers, a precursor to Muhammad, and was sent to guide the Children of Israel.

So for the uneducatd could you please explain what haram is ?

It’s how Japanese visitors pronounce a district of New York

Its marvellous to learn that the Popes words have been endorsed by this board!

You're cheating Alf.

That's just my opinion

Hang on a minute.

Hasn't he broken a cardinal rule (excuse the pun) that heads of religious orders are not supposed to defame other major religions?

I mean the Ayatollahs aren't allowed to say bad things about Christianity because Christ is supposed to be a serious prophet. I realise that politicians do this all the time but the religious top-brass aren't supposed to do this, wasn't it a 17th c agreement or something?

True or not he could work on the diplomacy a bit.

After all he is the Messiah.

Tony, I mean.

He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

[Jesus]

I asked the Pope to stir it up a little. I'm desperate to come back and spread love and peace, just need a bit of death and destruction first.

[Ardesco]

Sombody told me today that a lot of people think that Jesus and the Prophet Muhammed (sp??) are the same person!!!

Therefore both religions are tulip because they have the same genesis

I'm sure somebody will get uptight about this revelation

After the Pope's speech yesterday I'm seriously considering becoming Catholic...excellent.

Nobody can accuse the Catholic church of being racist, and all he did was quote theological literature. Very eloquent speech.

However the previous Pope did condemn the Iraq war and warned Blair not to go to War ... but Blair being a commited Christian knew better.

After all he is the Messiah.

Tony, I mean.

Sadly the Popes words on the Iraq War was met by great derision by members of the board at this time.

Will we be seeing a rerun of the Crusades then?

Some might argue we already are ;-)
