I knew it would only be a matter of time before someone posted something about this that made my skin crawl, but I didn't realise it would be so fast. Over in livejournal_uk, irving decides to throw in his Catholic take on those gosh darned Muslims who are upset that the Pope said Prophet Muhammad had brought the world only "evil and inhuman" things, etc etc. I'm ( Read more... )

Did you read the whole speech? If so, can you show me where he said all Muslims were "evil and inhuman" The quote was "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached". I believe what he is saying is that violence and hatred is evil. Not only that, but they weren't even his origanl words, but somthing he is quoting from another source.
If I am wrong, and believe me, I have been many times, please prove it to me.

::nods:: He certainly didn't say that about all Muslims, but he did say it about Muhammad. It would be equivalent, I guess, to saying Jesus had only brought evil into the world. So you're not wrong, you just misread. No harm, no foul. :)

The thing I don't egt is that God advocates violence hundreds of times in the Bible (admittedly, Jesus never does, but God certainly does) so I don't really see how Christians can denounce the violence in the Qu'ran without doing so for the Bible.

Actually, Jesus says (in the canonical bible) that he came not with peace but a sword, and later, when one of the disciples asks what they should do, he tells them to sell all their possessions and buy a sword (I can pull refs if it's really necessary). Of course, when you point those instances out to Xtians in the context of an argument, its "allegooorical."

Uh huh.

Please do find the references - not because I don't believe you, but because I'm interested. :)

"Think not that I am come to send peace: I came not to send peace but a sword." (Matthew 10:34) "He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." (Luke 22:36)
