#1 Great ! Great ! We need more theologians coming forth to reinforce the Pope. Keep applying pressure to the mad dogs. Very soon, they will have no response, because there is no defense.

#2 Their response is what the Pope said it was. Violence. Blowing shit up. Raging.

Faster please. The more people see of what Islam really is, the less the MSM will be able to cover it up.

He said he agreed with his Muslim friends who claimed that true Islam is not a violent religion,

So long as you ignore Mohammed, Mohammed's example, and the bulk of Muslim history.

#5 whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power.

Reverse that..."People who are convinced in the inferiority of their culture, and are obsessed with hating the superiority of their power"...

Who does that sound like?

#6 Or that the Koran is literally God's word and not subject to questioning or rational analysis.

Kirk: Excuse me... Excuse me... I just wanted to ask a question. What does God need with a starship?

#7 Lord Carey said that Muslims must address with great urgency their religions association with violence. He made it clear that he believed the clash of civilisations endangering the world was not between Islamist extremists and the West, but with Islam as a whole.

It is Islam, a different civilisation whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power.

He described the two civilisations as polarised and uncomprehending and said that the Danish cartoons controversy last March showed two world views colliding in public space with no common point of reference.

[golf clap]

Why wasn't THIS GUY addressing the UN yesterday?

#8 Or that the Koran is literally God's word and not subject to questioning or rational analysis.

What sort of "god" would choose an unholy hole-ly man to transmit his message? If he came yesterday, no doubt, a read-only dvd would have been used, not a book. What's so great about any man written book? Only impressive sounding in a an age and scenario where 95% are illiterate and easily awed.

Lord Carey dished it out nicely, bravo! Go dig a hole and hide, Rowan.

#10 Can someone explain how they let this guy go and got the Druid?

He was just as bad as the current ArchDruid - and worse in many ways - when he was ArchDruid, IMO. Now that he's cut loose he can talk a bit more freely. Heard anything about this from the current one? ... crickets ...

#11 Kirk: Excuse me... Excuse me... I just wanted to ask a question. What does God need with a starship?

Or the late Akbar Bugti on jihad:
"What use do I have for a god that needs me to fight his battles?"

#12 6, I think the whole "opposites attract" is true in some sort of twisted way.
