senseless

You know what's ridiculously funny about what's been going on with the pope's comments on Islam's founder?

Pope Benedict quoted the Byzantine emperor who said that the teachings of Prophet Mohammed is evil and inhuman. Why? Because muslims were encouraged to spread their faith via violence.

Of course, the muslims got enraged about what the pope said about Islam being a religion where violence is okay and in some ways, encouraged. So they went on a rampage attacking churches and also threatening the church with a suicide attack for the pope's remarks.

Which just further proves the point, doesn't it?

So, the pope apologized. Yes yes, sorry sorry! But no, they just don't understand? Uh.. hello?? What more else could you want? The pope did not outright say anything horrid about the Islam religion.

He was just commenting on the ongoing violence that is going on in the world. And most are unmistakably done by muslims. I realise that this is a very sensitive issue to debate over or to write about.

I have nothing against muslims. I have nothing against the religion. My friends are in fact, muslims, and I respect them. But the point of the matter is.. why would you further prove someone's else's point and then demand that they take back what they said or do something about it?

It just doesn't make any sense.
