the sub-text to this letter is; stop your crusades; for all your pretensions about being enlightened, scientific, rational, secular etc etc, you, the west continue to be led by the same blind hatred that your forefathers were guilty of. That the Christian clergy needs to take responsibility; that we know that messrs Blair and Bush and Brown are driven mainly by their christian zeal; that we wonder what you the christian leaders whisper in their ears in those private audiences.
Or am I reading too much into it.? :-)
best an inferior and subservient creature isn't going to ignite my support for either side.
Sorry, but I am actually a human being with equal moral agency and deserving of full social, moral, and legal rights. And I must politely decline inivitations from those who would degrade me
Muhammad is scary figure for most people in the west. We have been fearing return of Muslims ever since the days when Islam ruled entire Spain, Sicily, Sardinia, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Austria, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, and half of France. Oh yes. All these EU nations were under Islamic rule and there was no oppression nor persecution of minorities. Jews had their golden age only under Islamic Europe. Islam and Europe were at peace for hundreds of years. Then came along Vatican and the Pope took over these lands and expelled all Muslims. I am trying to be very brief. Then came back inquisition and burning of witches. Jews were slaughtered as Christ killers and even gassed right up to 1945. Muslims in Spain and rest of Eu were either expelled or were forced to convert to Christianity. I mean, I do not know which what cheek Pope accuses Muhamamd of inhumane things. His predecessors are responsible for horror which evebn Al Qaeda does not dream of committing. Compared to excesses of Popes and Christians, Muhammad is a an angel. One question: Has any Pope ever paid for a mosque to be built? It was Muhamamd who gave money out of his treasury for Churshes to be built and maintained. That was 7th century Arabia. We really have to stop frearing things we do not understand. Chidlren do this. Not adults.
