Since last week, when the Pope denounced religious violence, especially in the name of Islam, Muslims around the world have gone to great lengths to prove that Islam is indeed equated with violence. Or so it would appear.

The Pope has been burned in effigy, Christians have been killed, churches attacked, threats have been made against the west in general and now Al Qaeda has threatened the Pope himself. Why, why so much violence from the peaceful Muslim world. Perhaps someone in the Netherlands made another cartoon? Perhaps a British author exercised is God given freedom of expression and wrote a book? Perhaps a Lebanese pop star named her dog a sacred Islamic name? Perhaps it’s the continued existence of Israel or perhaps the Muslims are still reeling over the expulsion of the Moors from Spain? No this time it is because the pope had the audacity to denounce religious violence.

So what exactly are these Muslims upset about? Clearly they condone and endorse religious violence as evident by their reactions, perhaps they are angered because the great ruse that Islam is a religion of peace has been permanently discredited, no longer can the mad mullahs speaking in the name of Allah work clandestinely to undermine the western world…henceforth there intentions are known.
