Pope conveniently forgets Christian history
Hey, Ratzinger, while you're attacking Muslims, does the Inquisition or The Crusades mean anything to you? Do you have any idea how many innocent men, women and children were slaughtered in the name of the Baby Jesus? What do you think radicalized the Arabs in the first place? The Crusades, you Nazi fuck.

When Islam ruled Spain, the Jews did quite well. Along came Isabella and Ferdinand and their fucking Inquisition and the Jews were either tortured or expelled.

Next time, think before you open your yob, Rat Boy.

1. Guess he forgot this part
Matthew 10:34: Don't imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! No, I came to bring a sword.

2. What I can't beleive is that
he was actually surprised at the reaction he got. He insulted Muhammad and was surprised when he got death threats. Sounds like a fucking moron to me.

4. Tell me about it, John.
You'd think he'd realize how inflamed things are out there right now, and not add to it.

I feel terrible about that poor nun that was shot while taking care of mothers and children, because "His Holiness" has a big fucking mouth.

5. I think he should be suprised to get death threats.
Its totally out of hand. If you were to say something about Christianity here, namely that it promotes violence, which I have heard MANY times...Should you expect to get death theats? Should you expect atheists to get killed as that nun was? No, you shouldn't expect that, ebcause speech is free for you, as it should be for the pope.

3. I seem to recall that many Jewish parents were forced
to give up their children so they could be raised as Roman Catholics too.
