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?

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.
