Shooting Nuns - More Evidence That Islam is the “Religion of Peace”

So the Pope reads a quote from the 14th-century Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus, and offends Muslims the world over.

Here is part of what the Pope said:

"He said, I quote, '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.'"

How do “peaceful” Muslims react?

They shoot a 65-year-old nun.

According to this AFP story:

Gunmen shot and killed an elderly Italian nun at a children's hospital in the Islamist-controlled Somali capital amid outrage over Pope Benedict XVI's comments about Islam, witnesses said.

There seem to be a limited number of actions that Muslims take when they are “offended”:

1) Shoot and kill someone.
2) Kidnap and behead someone.
3) Threaten to shoot someone.
4) Threaten to kill someone.
5) Threaten to behead someone (which I suppose is a subset of #4).

Case in point - the above article quotes a “a prominent Mogadishu cleric (who) called for Muslims to ‘hunt down’ and kill the pontiff for his remarks.”

"Whoever offends our Prophet Mohammed should be killed on the spot by the nearest Muslim," hardline imam Sheikh Abubukar Hassan Malin told worshippers at a mosque in southern Mogadishu.

Of course, the reporter adds the word “hardline” to emphasize that this isn’t a mainstream Muslim. There seem to be a lot of “hardline” Muslims these days, and very few “mainstream” Muslims denouncing them.

In other news, a “radical Muslim group” threatened a suicide attack on the Vatican”.

Oh, and Palestinians set fire to an Anglican church.




Yes, Virginia, Islam truly is the “religion of peace”.
