Some of you know me as a (somewhat) liberal who always appeases our Islamic counterparts. During the cartoon scandal this lessened but they really done it now!
As I opened my morning paper I saw a picture of angry muslims in the streets of Karachi (Capital of Pakistan, for those who.....) They are madder then hell because Pope Bendictus XVI used a quote from a Byzantine Empreror from the fourteenth century.
So here I am getting all worked up because muslims all around the world demand an excuse from the pope, because he quoted Manuell II Palaeolus in a theological lecture at the university of Regensburg. The quote said that Mohammad ordered the islam to be spread by the sword.
So here is my question to you: What do the muslims expect? Do they seriously expect the pope to apologize for using a quote, which isn´t so untrue after all? Do they expect us to self censor ourself in debates in our own countries? I they don´t like what they see on our Satanic television, why don´t they turn them off? In short I am fed up which people who are wrapped so tight they crap diamonds and what to impose there values and believe to people on other continents..... What is your opinion on this?
