"But for Muslim teaching, God is absolutely transcendent. His will is not bound up with any of our categories, even that of rationality"

The religion of Islam has at its center a God that is not bound to reason, morality or anything. The result is chaos and death, imposition of will as an end unto itself. Per Pope Benedict the problem begins in their conception of a God without reason.

Exactly. The Judeo-Christian God is bound by the same rules He hands down to His subjects and His mercy and loving-kindness have always been stressed over His justice. In contrast, the Muslim God is subject to no rules and the only one binding on his followers is jihad - the way of war. Gentleness is not a quality known to be associated with Islam.
