Pope Benedict XVI the Crusader

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ بِطَانَةً مِّن دُونِكُمْ لاَ يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالاً وَدُّواْ مَا عَنِتُّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاء مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الآيَاتِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ


There is a pattern of hatred that betrays this man's mind and true feelings towards Islam. It is clear that his agenda runs parallel with the Islamophobia that has gripped Western countries.
There is no 'philosophical' difference of opinion here, there is no 'taking' his speech out of context.

His speech and the juxtaposition of the opinion of an enemy of Islam (14th century Emperor Manuel II Paleologos of the Byzantine Empire) without any embarrasment for the sheer ignorance it displays, and without any apology for the misguided Emperor's hateful views towards Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam, speaks the contents of his heart.

Is he a coward that uses the speech of a man dead some 700 years to voice his own thinking? Then retreats to the excuse of 'difference of philosophy'? Is he not implying, in the faux apology and multifaceted-speak of the Catholic Church, that he STILL believes Muslims force people to convert on pain of violence thus 'philosophically' disagress with them?Would he just as happily quote the Catholic Church's anti-semitic, specifically anti-Jewish views?

Is his opposition to Turkey joining Europe due to his anger at the liberation of Constantinople by the hands of the mighty Uthmani Khilafah at the time?
Does he not see, that Islam is the fasterst growing Deen all over the world even without the Khilafah, even in Europe. Does he fear the Khilafah's return for it might liberate the whole world from ignorance such as his?

Let this be a lesson to those who believe the Catholics are sincere in their quest for dialogue between faiths. Let them see that despite their seemingly polite words, hatred, ignorance and consequent bigotry runs deep in their hearts, sometimes beyond the reach of evidence or thought.

وَلَن تَرْضَى عَنكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلاَ النَّصَارَى حَتَّى تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى اللّهِ هُوَ الْهُدَى وَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَاءهُم بَعْدَ الَّذِي جَاءكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلاَ نَصِيرٍ

And the Jews will not be pleased with you, nor the Christians until you follow their religion. Say: Surely Allah's guidance, that is the (true) guidance. And if you follow their desires after the knowledge that has come to you, you shall have no guardian from Allah, nor any helper. [2:120]

Hello Freelance and all,

More proof that religion is the opposite of truth, wisdom, and justice

Now we have the infallible Grand Inquisitor (the pot) lecturing Islam (the kettle) about spreading religion through violence (dark deeds) and quoting a Dark Ages text while the USA and Europe are in the midst of the Neo-Crusades. Does anyone else see the irony and absurdity in this situation? Dear Pope, ever heard of Karma? Ever stop to remember how the Vatican and western nations became so rich and powerful? What goes around comes around!

The West has killed far more Muslims than they have killed westerners, yet our press and leaders can only see Muslim desperation in the face of western military and economic dominance, (all in the name of God and country), as sources of evil in this world.

Guess what guys and girls, war and violence are evil, no matter what the excuse or cause or who is doing it to whom. Any idiot who thinks the Creator would judge religion, war, or any other profiteering at the expense of others as wise or acceptable activities has a very big surprise in store.

Here is Wisdom...
