Because Muslims are in denial. Because they dare not ask themselves the hard questions. Because they will not like the answers if they stare into the deep, dark soul of Islam.

This is a shame. If anyone could modernize and moderate (?) Islam, it would be the Turks. They are a crazy, fun, fierce people with a zest for life. We owe them a lot – and thanks for the coffee, too.

The sad part of this is that a group of Muslims has taken offense where no offense is due. The Pope only expressed his opinion, and stated a few undeniable facts. Until the people of Turkey accept freedom of expression, religion, tolerance, equality and human rights, they do not belong in the EU. They should, instead, stay with their Muslim brothers where these are not found, and continue to subjugate and mistreat women (see above!).

This Pope ‘thing’ is surreal. Let me see:
1. The people out in the streets protesting probably didn’t actually read what the pope said. I read the speech and yes, it did imply that Islam had problems and needed to change, but in a mild and very indirect way.
2. Muslims are promising violence because the Pope said Islam was violent. Why don’t they just carry signs saying “The Pope is right. Islam is violent.”
3. And how about the facts? In case you have never read the Islamic Traditions (hadiths) which 99.9% of Muslims accept are gospel, they clearly say that Mohammed and his men attacked villages and caravans, plundered, killed, tortured, raped, enslaved and that Mohammed even beat his own wife. Maybe there is some violence there somewhere – what do you think? It looks like it is Pope 3 x Muslims 0.

Talk Turkey is right and wrong. Right because Muslims are suspect – often unfairly – and wrong because it is their own fault. They do not change, the same things keep happening and they keep blaming others. I would like to know, oh please tell me, why I should trust anybody that writes and says “Praise be unto him” after Mohammed’s name when he did many things like this and worse: Ibn ‘Aun reported: …The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) made a raid upon Banu Mustaliq while they were unaware and their cattle were having a drink at the water. He killed those who fought and imprisoned others. On that very day, he captured Juwairiya bint al-Harith. (Bukhari),

Why can’t Muslims be honest? Radical Muslims kill, moderates make excuses and blame others.
