Emperor's Words Cause Controversy


Horatius

I think it's true what the comedian Chris Morris said when he was asked if he was going to do a parody of the whole events that have taken place in the last few years involving terrorism and Jihad. He said something along the lines of to parody an event you make it ridiculous, but this whole situation is so riduculous there's no need to parody it.

 

When you've got Muslims burning down Orthodox churches (not Catholic ones) as revenge for the Pope's claim that they are violent, you beging to see his point. The whole situation would be silly if it weren't so depressing.

The Roman Pope never claimed that the moslems were violent!

 

Only Orthodox Churches?

I'm sorry, I got a bit mixed up. I was talking about one isolated incident where they attacked a Orthodox church and one Muslim man claimed it was revenge because "the Pope had said (sic) that the muslims were violent".

 

Re-reading my last post I realise that I haven't written it coherently ;). I do realise that the Pope didn't actually 'claim' that the muslims were violent (as he was just quoting the Emperor in a speech about religion and tolerance). Sorry for any misunderstanding.
