Muslims peacefully bomb churches in protest

Pope Benedict correctly commented on the inherently violent nature of the religion of peace last week in Germany, and in order to lend the lie to such a horrid mischaracterization of Islam as a violent religion, Muslims throughout the world protested... violently.

According to ABC News (which has historically proven to be sympathetic to the religion of peace, so this is hardly an unbiased source):

Two churches were set on fire in the West Bank, raising to at least seven the number of church attacks in Palestinian areas over the weekend blamed on outrage sparked by the speech.

There was also concern that the furor was behind the shooting death of an Italian missionary nun at the hospital where she worked for years in the Horn of Africa nation of Somalia. The killing came just hours after a Somali cleric condemned the pope's speech.

Police across Italy were ordered to step up security out of concern that the anger could cause Roman Catholic sites to become terrorist targets. Police outside the pope's summer palace confiscated metal-tipped umbrellas and bottles of liquids from faithful.



Golly, how unfair is it that Islam continues to be unfairly characterized as being a violent religion?
