NO JIHAD TO SEE HERE!

[JerrySeinfeld]

Tripoli - The elder son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has called on Pope Benedict XVI to convert to Islam immediately, dismissing last week’s apology from the pontiff for offending Muslims.

“If this person were really someone reasonable, he would not agree to remain at his post one minute, but would convert to Islam immediately,” Mohammed Gaddafi told an awards ceremony on Monday evening for an international competition to memorise the Qur’an.

“We say to the pope - whether you apologise or not is irrelevant, as apologies make no difference to us.”

Gaddafi junior also hit out at “those Muslims who look for comfort in the words of a non-Muslim”.

He said Muslims “should not look for charity from the infidel... but should fight Islam’s enemies who attack the faith and the Prophet Muhammad”.

--SURE SOUNDS LIKE TOLERANCE TO ME!!!

Let's see we have radical Muslims suicide bombers. We have Christian priests raping and torturing children. Televangelists are using the bible to get wealthy and fat off of the poor. The KKK is using the bible to justify their hatred. Jews are killing Muslims and Muslims killing Jews for a dried out piece of dusty land. Catholics and Protestants bomb each other for who knows what. In general Christians, Muslims and Jews all use the bible as a reason to hate homo-sexuals. That's what's current. In history religions have slaughtered, maimed and exterminated for land, power, money, artifacts and redemption.

Jerry you're on to something here. Religion is dangerous...maybe it should be outlawed? What's your plan to stop evil deeds done in the name of a religion?

Simple, ban religions that promote violence as a way of spreading their religion. And that would not include Christianity, since the bible does not advocate violence or hatred at all. The Koran does.

What people do in the name of Christianity is another matter altogether.

Maybe not, but it's in the old testament...if you believe in the old testament.

How is "The elder son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi" considered a moderate muslim?

He's just another wacko mouth piece who gets world wide attention.

Has anyone considered that, like the 'silent majority', moderate muslims are never heard simply because their views don't sell papers? Coming form Alberta to Afghanistan I've met more muslims in the past 5 years than I ever knew. Trust me: there is a silent majority and they don't call it a 'silent majority' because they're actually silent. They call them silent because nothing they have to say is 'radical' enough to get printed.

Ever notice how it's only ever the freaks that make the front page?

Bottom line is that with more than a billion muslims in the world and much less than 0.0001% fighting as terrorists or insurgents or spouting off hate to the media it's easily seen that there most certainly is a 'silent majority' who are quite moderate, even compared to Gaddfi ( ). If you consider that the percentage of murderers or psychopaths in our society is far greater than that...

I suppose the fact that MightyAC was being sarcastic was lost on you? Any argument that begins with exempting yourself is just beyond dumb.

This is one man.

You posted in the plural.

The intollerance of one man you take and use it to brand all Muslims. What a sick display of true intollerance.

I don't know how to link to my own posts, but here's a cut and paste.

Like, oh, say, Yousef al-Qaradawi? Now according to Salim Mansur in today's Sun:

Within the Arab Sunni world the Egyptian-born Sheikh Qaradawi, 80, of Qatar, is the face of institutionalized Islam. He is the closest to what might pass for a titular head of Muslims akin to the Pope. Qaradawi's words, now broadcast by television network al-Jazeerah, are taken as authoritative pronouncements of Islam. He is the "spiritual" leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, a movement formed to repudiate freedom and democracy, and a defender of Islam's war against the West by any means, including suicide bombings.

Gee, and so mainstream too. The Muslim pope, and he's all about war and suicide bombing. How odd.

Well then, how about Sheikh Abd Al-Rahman Al-Sudayyis, the Saudi government appointed imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca? Surely he's about as mainstream as Muslim clerics get, right? Let us hear the softly spoken words of love and tolerance from Sheik Sudayyis.

Those whom Allah cursed, got angry with, and turned into monkeys and pigs, the tyrant worshippers among the Jewish aggressors and criminal Zionists. Their course is supported by the advocates of usury and worshippers of the Cross, as well as by those who are infatuated with them and influenced by their rotten ideas and poisonous culture among the advocates of secularism and Westernization.... The enemies of Muslims among the atheists insist on their arrogance and aggression against our people and our holy places in Chechnya? The idol-worshipping Hindus indulge in their open hatred against our brothers and holy places...in Muslim Kashmir, threatening an imminent danger and a fierce war in the whole Indian sub-continent?... O Allah, support our brother Mujahedeen for your sake and the oppressed everywhere. O Allah, support them in Palestine, Kashmir, and Chechnya. O Allah, we ask you to support our Palestinian brothers in Palestine against the aggressor Jews and usurper Zionists. O Allah, the Jews have oppressed, terrorized, and indulged in tyranny and corruption. O Allah, deal with them for they are within your power.

Boy, kinda puts a tear in the eye, eh?
