It=E2=80=99s good to see the rise once again of the eternal, internecine hatred between Christianity and Islam. The world would certainly be a far better place if the 2 billion benighted followers of these fear- and ignorance-based "religions" suddenly vanished from the face of the earth.
WHY these two sects are constantly at war is an unanswered question; they have more basic SIMILARITIES than dissimilarities:
=C2=B7 Both are human-constructs. =C2=B7 Both are intolerant of other religions and viewpoints. =C2=B7 Both urge adherents to hate "infidels." =C2=B7 Both have histories that mainly are filled with killing, war, torture, violence, and intentional denial of education for their followers. =C2=B7 Both are based on hypocritical, exclusionary doctrines. =C2=B7 Both teach and insist upon the inferiority of women. =C2=B7 Both childishly insist that there=E2=80=99s an "afterlife" that only "members" may enter. =C2=B7 Both teach that their "god" is a wrathful, take-no-prisoners despot who "guides" his followers by fear and threats of damnation. =C2=B7 Both fearfully and ignorantly insist that their "holy" books of fiction and fantasy are the "word of god." =C2=B7 Both have hierarchies of "holy men" (not women) patterned on kingdoms, with long legacies of child molestation and rape.
I=E2=80=99m sure some of you can think of other similarities. Point being that Islam and Christianity are at the top of the world=E2=80=99s GREAT DIVIDERS of HUMAN BEINGS!
And that=E2=80=99ll never change. ------------ "Remarks by Pope Prompt Muslim Outrage, Protests"

BEIRUT, Sept. 15 -- A medieval reference in an academic lecture by Pope Benedict XVI unleashed a wave of denunciations, outrage and frustration across the Muslim world Friday, with officials in Turkey and Pakistan condemning the pontiff, Islamic activist groups organizing protests and a leading religious figure in Lebanon demanding that he personally apologize.
The reception to the pope's speech in Germany on Tuesday was a reminder of the precarious, suspicious state of affairs between a West that often views Islam as a faith in need of reform and a Muslim world that feels besieged in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Some of the criticism evoked the Crusades; others accused the Vatican of joining a Western-led war on Islam.
"We ask him to offer a personal apology -- not through his officials -- to Muslims for this false reading" of Islam, said Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, one of the world's leading Shiite Muslim clerics, who lives in Beirut... (more)
