Last week (Sept. 11th to be exact), Pope Benedict XVI gave a speech and in it, read these words from a 14th century Byzantine emperor�s hostile view of Islam�s founder. �The emperor comes to speak about the issue of jihad, holy war,� the Pope said. �He said, I quote, �Show me just what Muhammad 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.�� Benedict added �I quote� twice to make it clear these were someone else�s words.
Needless to say, the Islamists knickers got wrapped into a twist and they are calling for the Pope to be killed, jihad, more jihad and just generally ululating their pointy little heads off.
Pope asked to convert to IslamUnreal...
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".
On Sunday, the pope said he was "deeply sorry" for the reaction to a speech he made last week in which he quoted an obscure medieval text that criticised some teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as "evil and inhuman".
The speech sparked several days of protests in Muslim countries against the leader of the world's 1.1 billion Roman Catholics.
