Steel Cage Match: 1. Taiping Heavenly Kingdom vs. 2. Johnny and Luther Htoo of God's Army vs. 3. Jesus "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword (Matthew 10:34)" H. Christ with the fighting forces training in the Jesus Camp trailer on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RNfL6IVWCE vs. 4. any Open-Mic Night Islamofascists vs. 5. L. Ron Hubbard Now that would be a righteous smackdown. Where's your money? I’m calling shenanigans!

And poverty, among the other things listed at the end there, is not a cause for any of this. Those things exacerbate the problem, not excuse it. @ Phoebe

Did you see loads of Christians getting arsey about it? If people want an excuse to fall out they'll find it. I find it all pretty scary. PS Chris, is there no poverty in the Christian world?

PS Chris, is there no poverty in the Christian world?

I don't want to sound like I'm endorsing the "few bad apples" approach, but in some way it is. The problem, it seems to me, is that moderates and Muslim peaceniks (I've met a few) let it pass. Maybe it's condemned somewhere, but we're not hearing about it. In the meantime, the bad guys are taking advantage of the Pope's dumb comment to stir things up. There's also issues of poverty in the Muslim world, lack of free speech in those same countries, diversity issues, and a host of other things I won't clutter your comments section with. I have my own blog to clutter with aimless ramblings. ;-p My suspicion, and it’s only that, is that we’re seeing the more radical elements taking advantage of something incindiary to squelch moderates and push an internal debate within Islam towards the extremes.
