The Pope suggests that followers of Islam are violent and irrational and it enrages Muslims to the point of violence and irrationality!

As usual, the violent followers of Islam engage in a frenzy of church burning. Followers of Islam threaten to kill yet another Pope. An Italian nun is shot multiple times and killed along with her bodyguard, in Somalia! Nuns need bodyguards in Islamic countries. I am sorry, but we must celebrate the bravery of Christian nuns and aid workers living and working to help the poor in Islamic countries. They are braver than suicide bombers any day, because at least they are doing good works and taking care of the poor while waiting to die.

The suicide bombers, by contrast, usually have imparted little to the society they lived in prior to their suicide missions. One day in the far, far future the followers of Islam may surprise me by remaining peaceful and refusing to engage in extreme violence. They will refuse to murder good people who are trying to improve the lives of Muslims by rebuilding infrastucture in Islamic countries. They will decide against killing aid workers who help feed and shelter refugees after Israeli offensives. They will refuse to saw the heads off journalists trying to tell the story of Muslim sufferring.

I am starting to sound like John Lennon, in his song Imagine. Until then, I have to agree with the theologian the Pope quoted, the followers of Islam seem to be more and more falling into the pit of irrational thinking. How rational is it to engage in violence to prove that you are non-violent?
