Does anyone else see the irony here??
The pope sends his regrets to Muslim leaders. : "The pope's suggestion that compulsion and violence are inherent features of Islam has outraged the Muslim world. In Afghanistan, where apostates are subject to execution, the parliament and the Foreign Ministry demanded an apology. In Yemen, where religious conversion is punishable by death, the president has threatened to sever diplomatic ties. In the West Bank, Palestinians attacked four churches with guns and firebombs. And a Somali cleric added his two cents: 'Whoever offends our Prophet Muhammad should be killed on the spot by the nearest Muslim.'"

Hello Steve 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 dark deeds and quoting a Dark Ages text while the USA and Europe are in the midst of the Neo-Crusades. The irony and absurdity in this situation is amazing to say the least.
Dear Pope, ever heard of Karma or the golden rule? Ever stop to remember how the Vatican and western nations became so rich and powerful over the centuries? Ever consider giving up your wealth and earthly power to end the blatant hypocrisy of your vane, materialistic, and duplicitous empire? Remember the eye of the needle and the log and mote parables? Is this a demonstration of your infallibility or wisdom? As another wise one once said; What goes around comes around!
The West has killed far more Muslims (and other dark skins) than they have killed westerners, yet our press and leaders can only see Muslim and "third world" desperation in the face of western military and economic dominance and oppression, (in the name of God and country, by the way), as sources of evil in this world.
Guess what guys and girls, war, violence, and injustice are evil, no matter what the excuse or cause or who is doing it to whom. Anyone 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!!
...and here too...
Well said, Seven Star. I downloaded your eBook: "Here is Wisdom". Indeed you have "Wisdom". Thanks for your commentary.
Five minutes ago I finished reading "Our Final Hour; A Scientist's Warning: How terror, error, and environmental disaster threaten humankind's future in this century -- on earth and beyond" by Sir Martin Rees: England's top scientist. In that vein: Religion = Ignorance. Stick with observable truth. Faith = gullibility. Science is our only truth.
