Pope statement not enough: Muslim Brotherhood
Reuters ^ | 09-17-06 | Staff

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood said a Vatican statement on Saturday saying Pope Benedict was sorry for upsetting Muslims with his comments on Islam did not go far enough.

"We want a personal apology (from the Pope). We feel that he has committed a grave error against us and that this mistake will only be removed through a personal apology," Muslim Brotherhood Deputy Leader Mohammed Habib told Reuters.

"Has he presented a personal apology for statements by which he clearly is convinced? No," he said.

In a speech on Tuesday the Pope repeated criticism of the Prophet Mohammad by the 14th century Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaeologus, who said everything the Prophet brought was evil "such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."

The remarks sparked outrage across the Islamic world.

"The Holy Father is very sorry that some passages of his speech may have sounded offensive to the sensibilities of Muslim believers," Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone said in the statement.

The Muslim Brotherhood is a political Islamist group founded in Egypt which has inspired movements across the Arab world.

A terrorist group, no doubt.

Apparently the notion of changing their murderous behavior, as way to stop these sort of statements, hasn't occurred to them.

Someone needs to explain "degrees of outrage" to the so-called brotherhood. Their outrage has one degree: full-on and rabid, whether it be a silly cartoon, an author or artist questioning the Islamic culture, or a world-figure reasonably quoting an ancient offensive statement to serve as a backgound for intelligent discussion and dialogue.

It doesn't matter to these ignorant loudmouths, it all means jihad. Which is what it is all really about anyway. Anarchy, thy name is Jihad.

Qur’an 8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels.
So wound their bodies and incapacitate them
because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”

Qur’an 8:57 “If you gain mastery over them in battle,
inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them,
so that they would learn a lesson and be warned.”

Yawn.

What are they gonna do? attack us with hijacked airplanes? They'd do that w/o the Pope's statement.

Have riots and kill their own? Go for it.

Use it as an excuse to do whatever they wanna do? Like they need an excuse.

Cause them to hate us? I wasn't counting on a Christmas card anyway.
