#1 Of course, had he said anything else but this, being in Egypt, he would have put the Copts' lives at risk.

#2 "any remarks which offend Islam and Muslims are against the teachings of Christ."

"[A]ny remarks which offend Islam". Boy howdy, that doesn't leave much now does it? Big clue time; Every-effing-single-thing offends Islam. Even the stuff that doesn't offend Islam offends it if they feel like it on that particular day.

Tell you what, Shenouda, I can count the number of your church's followers without taking my pants off. Benedict happens to sheperd a much bigger flock and gives a hot damn about whether they're going to spend the rest of their lives kissing Islamic ass, something you do so regularly, you blow your nose with toilet paper.

#8 Officially, they were on the other side on the Crusades thing. Not that they had any choice in the matter.

#9 "any remarks which offend Islam and Muslims are against the teachings of Christ."

The remark that Jesus was the Son of God offends Islam and Muslims, as does the statement that he died on the cross and was resurrected. You can only believe these things if you reject the Koranic accounts of "Isa's" life. You wouldn't want to be rejecting the Koran there, would you Mr. Pope or whatever?

#10 The poor man. His entire congregation in Egypt, what's left of it after a thousand years of Muslim ravages is hostage to his words. Even when he gets it right, the men will still be beaten, the women ravaged and married off, the children kidnapped and disappeared forever.

#11 Did he say this before or after they threatened to behead him?

#12 Did his mouth move when he talks?

He's a high-ranking Christian in a Muslim land. The threat to be beheaded is an assumed constant.

#14 "any remarks which offend Islam and Muslims are against the teachings of Christ."
Christ made quite a few remarks that would offend Islam and Muslims.

#15 Of course, Islam wasn't even a blip on the radar when Christ was on earth, and wouldn't come along for another 700+ years.

So if you are going to claim that something goes against Christ's teachings, you are talking about general principles and not specifics. The general principles are too well known for me to enumerate them here. I'll just repeat what I said yesterday. Christ was not a milk-toast, and he NEVER advocated getting along with evil at any cost.
