Some Australian Muslim groups have reacted angrily to comments made by Australia's most senior Catholic cleric, Cardinal George Pell.
The Archbishop of Sydney has backed the Pope's speech made in Germany last week, linking Islam's history with violence.
The Pontiff has since apologised, saying he is deeply sorry about angering so many Muslims, and that the 14th Century passages that he referred to in no way reflect his views.
Cardinal Pell says the pontiff did nothing wrong in making the speech, and says he does not rule out a link between Islam and violence.
"I'm not sure, I would welcome some clarification from our Islamic friends," he said.
Nada Roudee, spokeswoman for the Islamic Council of NSW, says Cardinal Pell should look at world history.
"And consider that violence has been a universal phenomenon, it's not confined to a particular faith," she said.
Ms Roude says Cardinal Pell's comments are unhelpful as Australia is trying to build a sound inter-faith dialogue.
The Muzzies give a whole new meaning to "hair trigger."
Jews and Christians Draw Breath, Angering Muslims
Angers Muslims!
Who the hell cares?
I myself am angry, that we haven't already killed a few million of the "angry sonsuvbitches"..
Semper Fi

"I'm not sure, I would welcome some clarification from our Islamic friends," he said.
And so would all of us...
How could the Pope make such a comment about the religion of peace. He was absolutely correct !! Mohammed sure taught peace !!
I dont understand why there are not more cartoons of Muhammad showing up on the internet? It would seem that anyone wanting to pi$$ off a Muzzie could think of something to get em' angered rather than letting them re-define whatever was said. No?
"Show me just what Mohammed 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." -Manuel II Paleologus
Is there anyone these days who DOESN'T anger the Muslims?
...Australia's most senior Catholic cleric, Cardinal George Pell.
Example just found at wiki - 2005 - Corrado Cardinal Bafile, Italian Catholic cardinal (b. 1903)
Is there a war anywhere on this earth that the muslims are not involved in?
Good grief, just who CAN they get along with! They even kill each other.
They conduct themselves like rabid animals.
I never hear any of them in this country condemning the killers.
I hear you. Dear Cardinal Pell is one of the bright lights in the Church leadership. I flat-out love the man. He's a beacon for Christ and a genuine leader. He'd make a wonderful Bishop of Rome someday.
John McCain won't like anyone angering the Muzzies. He wants everyone to play fair. Obviously, McCain is delusional.
Pell for Pope?
Let us pray!!!!

"Angers Muslims!
Who the hell cares?"
Semper Fi
My sentiments exactly.
LOLOLOLOLOL
"D--- it! This is a religious war and most will not say it!!"
The muslims have quite clearly said this.
When someone says they're going to wipe me off the face of the Earth, I tend to believe they intend to do so.
Thank you for posting this.
I've been advising folks for quite some time now to familiarize themselves with world history...it's repeating itself again.
Sole purpose...? To piss off the muzzie / Islamo crapheads.
Lot's of the right cartoons. Lot's of "Allah is so F***** up" jokes. Lot's of articles detailing specifically what that religion / cult has contributed to the cultural evolution of man.....
I volunteer for that last one.
tick...tick...
Ok, I'm done.
But we can have prizes - 100 points to the poster that starts a NEW jihad, etc, 75 points if we get a rise from the head Iran raghead, etc.
I've had enough of and heard enough from these a$$holes.
The Pope needs to come out and say, "sorry, just kidding about that apology stuff - you guys really are the idiots!"
I wish.
Australian newspapers are notorious for getting titles and honourifics wrong. The one that really annoys me is that Australian newspapers often refer to our last Chief of the Defence Force as 'Major-General Peter Cosgrove' - he's very popular and is quite often mentioned as a potential Governor-General so he's mentioned a fair bit.
He was a Major-General at the time he became well known in Australia - when he was given command of Australian troops in East Timor in 1999. But for some reason, Australian journalists couldn't seem to grasp that he stopped being a Major-General after that - he had two further promotions through Lieutenant-General to General - and the newspapers still constantly get it wrong. It's insulting that they don't take the care they should.
ping
lol!!
Indeed. What DOESN'T tick them off? It's become ho-hum.
I'm sure the ABC writer would have liked the Pope to say that but his phrasing wasn't quite that, was it?
"I am deeply sorry for the reactions in some countries to a few passages of my address at the University of Regensburg, which were considered offensive to the sensibility of Muslims," the pope said.
Give 'em Hell, Pell.
Anger for everyone...keep it comming.
If every religios christian leader soke out these boobs would start getting the message that all their ranting and dancing in the streets means ZILCH
Makes me wonder re: the Major-General - do the papers think that Major-General is a higher rank than 'just' General?
John Kerry. Nancy Pelosi. Al Gore. John McCain. John Warner, Ward Churchill. Howard Dean. Michael Moore. Cindy Sheehan . . . .
Thanks for the information. I appreciate it!!
I thought the Australian Prime Minister told the muzzies to chill out or get out a few weeks ago!?!
Answer the question, ragheads. What did Moohamhead contribute to the world other than murder and mayhem in the name of god? He was a mental case, a misfit, a psychotic fruitcake.
We've got a little list... :-)
One of my most ancient ancestors helped Roger the First of Normandy drive the Arabs out of Sicily in the 1100's. abouts It is recorded that he personally killed the Arab captian Mogat. His name was Leone Grifeo or Leone the Griffen. When I learned of this a few days ago it really made me realize for how long this clash between Arabs and the West has been going on.
"When I learned of this a few days ago it really made me realize for how long this clash between Arabs and the West has been going on."
Forever...it has gone and and will continue.
LOL! I love your picture stories! That one's a keeper!
LOL I missed your reply yesterday. With all the crocodile saving you mates are up to you'll need a lot of food for them I'd think. I understand they'll eat anything. ;^)
It began with Moohamhead didn't it? How can a doctrine ever significantly change from its founders actions and precepts?
