#1 "The so-called Sword Verse from Chapter 9 must have been in the emperors mind: So when the sacred months have passed away, Then slay the idolaters wherever you find them.

'And take them captive and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in every ambush.'

This does shock many Muslims: extremists are angered by the implied criticism of those who quote it, while moderates who cannot disavow the terms of the Koran prefer more evasive interpretations."

While it might be true that some small percentage of Muslims form the extreme element, evidence supports the notion that a majority of the rest share the goal of a worldwide Muslim state and that said majority either give aid and comfort to the terrorist or contribute helpful denial/indifference. These less radical Muslims believe that the end result would not be the nightmare jihadi vision but a kinder, gentler one where they could do their slightly less fundamentalist thing and be in charge.

This parallels the left, which, while not largely of the violent Maoist strain, nontheless would not be upset if they were successful in subverting the West, thinking that in that situation power would devolve to a less virulent strain of the leftist philosophy.

#2 No it isn't.

"Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and then you shall find things only evil and inhuman...."

How could a Muslim not take offense?

The Pope poked them in the eye. Was it done deliberately? What could he have said that would be a worse insult?

#3 A well deserved poke in the eye.

As they react violently, it shows that he was, in fact, dead bang right about them.

#5 # 2 - How could a Muslim not take offense?

Fear not, they do; AT EVERY FUCKING LAST MORONIC DAMNED STINKING IDIOTIC LITTLE PERCEIVED OR INTENTIONALLY MISCONSTRUED SLIGHT THEY CAN DREAM UP. Muslims are skinless people living in a sandpaper world. As Victor Davis Hansen said:

If a ~~fart~~ ~~hiccup~~ ~~sniffle~~ ~~belch~~ ~~sneeze~~ ~~cough~~ ~~giggle~~ sentence, indeed a mere phrase can be taken out of context, twisted, manipulated to show an absence of deference to Islam, furor ensues, death threats follow, assassins load their beltseven as the New York Times or the Guardian issues its sanctimonious apologies in the hope that the crocodile will eat them last.

# 2 - The Pope poked them in the eye. Was it done deliberately?

You betcha. Benedict is out to expose Islam for the psychotic death cult that it is and Muslims are playing into his hands like a bunch of slavering rabid marionettes. When this is over, Benedict will be playing Islam like a violin.

# 2 - What could he have said that would be a worse insult?

Just about anything imaginable that was even slightly more truthful. Like:

1.) Islam practices abject gender apartheid.

2.) Muslims are responsible for the overwhelming majority of recent terrorist atrocities.

3.) Muslim-majority nations constitute a network of terrorist sponsoring regimes.

4.) Islamic jihad represents institutionalized crimes against humanity.

5.) Islam is an imperialist political ideology masquerading as a religion.

6.) Muslims singlehandedly seek to drag the entire planet back into the dark ages of illiteracy and feudal autocracy.

7.) Islam is the most violent major religion on the face of the earth.

8.) Muslims overtly or covertly seek to re-enact the Holocaust.

9.) Muslim majority nations are nothing more than cesspools of human rights abuse.

10.) Muslim majority nations routinely de-emphasize industrial development in favor of religious inculcation.

11.) Islamic governments are routinely among some of the world's most corrupt institutions.

12.) Islam is the new Nazism.

That's a clean dozen, straight off of the top of my head. I could come up with another dozen just as quickly if I felt like wasting more time. Is this clear enough or do I need to elaborate further, KBK?

#6 Those are facts. I'm talking about insults.

#7 KBK: Insults...oh do you mean like:

Muhammad's mother was so fat, flesh melt off her like hot fudge on a sundae. So fat, that she actually had the capacity to bend light and time. I mean like Fat Bastard, fat...get in my belly, fat.

Like that? Not necessary. As many have said previously and to far better effect, the mooselimbs will find insult wherever they want to. All we need to is draw breath.

#8 No. I mean like, "Your so-called prophet of your so-called god has brought only evil and inhumanity to this world." This is a somewhat stronger insult than, "Yo mama."

#9 teh very fact that they perpetrate violence, pedophilia, abuse of women and moon-God worship makkes that criticism valid. Fuck em if that offends them

#10 KBK: Ahhh, good points all. Stronger argument...not as much fun. Also, I just feel that many a mooselimb would simply look such an insult as more a kin to ......oh say, a very nice resume.

#11 Okay, KBK, how about these:

Islam is dumber than a box full of Ka'bahs.

The only thing more violent than Islam is two Islams.

How do you know it's time for the Dhuhr prayer? Only one terrorist bomb explodes.

Why are dogs haram? Because they chase away the goats.

Why are pigs haram? Because they're much harder to catch than goats.

Mohammed's momma was so ugly, they invented the burqa just for her.

Muslims wipe with their left hand because they're so stupid that they have to use their right hand just to find their ass in the first place.

I can make up some more if those aren't enough.
