I have the greatest respect for sister and am sure she is in heaven with God. But, time for turning the other cheek is passed.
Muzzies have said little about this murder, yet they are offended by the Pope's remarks or any time someone stares st them.

Everyone needs to get REALLY angry, which this nation is not capable of doing.
this nation needs to rally together as one, and as long as the feel good socialists are here, it ain't going to happen.

The Sister's forgiving of her killers was amazing. How many of us could be so benevolent while being murdered. Her act offers an amazing contrast between those who kill in the name of religion and those who forgive even their murderers. Her approach is not, however, a model a country could follow. Our leaders are in charge of protecting us and our way of live. They are not responsible for the salvation of our souls.

Her forgiveness and the Pope's forebearance is part of their vocation to serve God. Those of us who don't have the same vocation are obliged to stand in front of them and be hard and ruthless in their defence.

Last week, the Pope said he had deep respect for Islam. Another Infidel who apparently hasn't read the Koran or Hadiths. - tom

Our leaders are in charge of protecting us and our way of live. They are not responsible for the salvation of our souls. This is a very important point that many people do not understand. The duty of a secular leader is to protect his people and his country; if he himself is murdered, he can forgive personally while dying, but as a leader, he cannot leave his people vulnerable to evil.

What to think of anyone, no less a Pope, who backs down when things get tough.
"...which shows the victory of love over hate and evil."
They're coming for your throat Benedict. Get some spine before it's severed.

I think MadIvan said it best. It is our job to defend the Pope, who has nothing but a few Swiss Guards between him and the terrorists.

I'm waiting for the Pope to declare Islam a threat to civilization and Judeo-Christianity, and to call for a new "Holy War".
Or, is he looking for personal martyrdom?
I do not trust that once a dedicated fanatical muslim gets it in his head that a call by fellow nutcases for the Pope to be "eliminated" that he (the jihadist) will view it as just bluster for the Arab street.

Another Infidel who apparently hasn't read the Koran or Hadiths. - tom He's read them, maybe even in the original Arabic, although possibly not, since he's not known to be as much of a polyglot as John-Paul.

I can say (I know one of his Colleagues) that once He was fond of Al-Ghazali and Averroè, but found Ibn-Taimya "UGLY"....

But, time for turning the other cheek is passed.Are y'all allowed to just decide that?
I had no idea the Bible was supposed to be a living document now! Neat!

I can say (I know one of his Colleagues) that once He was fond of Al-Ghazali and Averroè, but found Ibn-Taimya "UGLY".. I suspected as much. He was a pretty high powered academic theologian. Stands to reason he'd have studied "the competition" so to speak.
