An Iraqi militant group led by al-Qaeda has threatened to massacre
Christians in response to remarks about Islam by Pope Benedict XVI that
have caused offence across the Muslim world.

The Pope quoted a 14th Century Byzantine emperor who criticised the
teachings of Mohammad for endorsing the use of violence, in a speech to an
academic audience at a German university last Tuesday.

Have you ever noticed how gods never appear and speak and act for
themselves? not to mention the behavior of those who claim to represent
those gods?

You sure wrote the funniest subject line I have read today :-)

Let us hope those intolerant idiots make cartoons about each other.

Fatwa anyone?

QED.
Generally though, the promoters of Eternal Life Insurance (ELI) wouldn't
last long if obliged to register as normal business companies. They would
either have to produce proof of their product, or be prosecuted for fraud.
Also, why is drug addiction so desirable to those who profit from it, the
drug barons? Because there's nothing better than a captive market, and
addiction ensures this. Likewise with religion, except that indoctrination
of kids from birth is the equivalent process. In both cases, emotion tends
to overwhelm reason - the drug addict will do anything to get a fix, and woe
betide anyone who gets in the way. "Religion is the opium of the people",
in more senses than one.

The irony of the Moslem response to the Pope's quote is not lost on
those of us who can see where the problem lies. Hint: It's not Bush.

I doubt it. I read the entire text of the Pope's address. He makes reference to
someone else's words about how it is so ungodlike to use violence to convert
people but then quotes another author who counters that view. I can understand
Muslims being offended of he had been reinforcing the negative comments, but he
wasn't, and anyone who is protesting his words is acting out of utter
ignorance. Never mind how stupid and irresponsible they appear when they riot
to protest their religion being portrayed as violent

Not _just_ or even mostly George III-- but, of course, when you say "House
of Bush" you're saying "House of Saud", with the whole subversive crew
best being described as "the Saudi-industrial complex", including the Bush
clan and associates, the Saudi royals, the Saudi Wahhabite hierarchy, the high Saudi
commoners like the bin Ladens, Aramco, Exxon, Bechtel, Halliburton, etc.

Not to mention al Qaeda and the like, the only difficulty being that Osama
bin Laden turned against the Saudi royals when they turned to the US
rather than his "Afghani Arab" forces to protect Saudi Arabia when Saddam
took Kuwait.

Otherwise, they're perfectly sympatico, ideology- and morals-wise.

You have no sense of irony. The Jews bomb the Arabs for 33 days ....
dropping over a million anti-personnel cluster bombs ..... and the
pope denounces the violence of Judaism ..... no, wait, the pope
denounced the violence of Islam ..... even the pope is on the Jews'
side.
That's the beauty of it..... the US goes halfway around the world to
drop 100000 tons on bombs on Iraq .... "bringing democracy" ..... and
Iraqi defenders kill an invader with a homemade bomb .....
demonstrating that they are "Islamofascists"......
When you parrot the US govt, you turn reality upside down ......
