Assalamau Laikum all,

I was dissapointed to be called a spammer by Maggie4life. This often happens when I post and people like Maggie don't like what I have written. Just because my opinion is different than yours does not mean it is not valid...heard of freedom of expression ever Maggie?

The Pope didn't have to bring Islam into the debate..HE chose to...now can you not expect muslims to answer?The fact that some muslims chose to answer by killing was most unfortunate...and I sincerely hope that the murderer(s) faces justice both on earth and in front of Allah SWT too.

In the meantime we have the pope trying to worm his way out of the situation ...with many Westerners saying he did not apologise based on some "technicality"...but let me tell you that nobody in the muslim world is listening..."what was that again?...sorry...yes OK". Divine inspiration has not been forthcoming to the pope so he has started using his own judgement now....the fact that he has now done it least three times shows the pressure is telling on him and his holy inadequate advisors.

Westerners and catholics are looking to him for leadership...but it's not coming from him anytime soon. You people are confused, leaderless and rudderless, but please do not blame Islam...we didn't ask to be part of the debate and this is no spam.
