The Pope and Islam
So the Pope made some insulting statement about Muslims. The insulting statements – more insulting when you consider he didn’t find him offensive to begin with, after all, these were not off the cuff remarks – comes after other Christian leaders making similar statements.
Muslims around the world were offended and jumped on the protesting bandwagon with amazing speed and intensity. Many Christians see these demonstrations as just another sign that Muslims are just too sensitive.
But, I ask you, do Muslims religious leaders make condescending and insulting remarks about Christians with the frequency that we see coming from Christian leaders?
I don’t think but maybe I'm just not paying enough attention. I could be wrong, but hard-core Christians seem more bent on confrontation than Muslims do.
