I am quite certain we will never hear that vicious sentiment from the Western world. The teachings of the founder of Christianity stressed tolerance, patients, forgiveness, and even love for one's enemies. Not that the bible thumpers ever really achieve perfection in such an undertaking, but it is a far cry from the vicious, petulent children that proclaim they are members of the cult of Mohammed with their riots and murders and blood curdling screams for the death and destruction of anything that dares speak even the mildest criticism for their beliefs or actions.
Gerard Henderson writes about this...reaction 'contrary to God's nature'.
His speech attracted scant attention initially. After a couple of days, some Muslim leaders began to attack it. Soon, Palestinian Muslims were burning the churches of Christian Palestinians in the West Bank and in Gaza. Not long after, a website of the Mujahideen Army threatened it would "smash the crosses in the house of the dog from Rome". All this in response to an essentially academic dissertation which had declared that violence is incompatible with the nature of God. Some Muslim leaders, however, confined their attacks to the verbal.
Now, the bigger question, especially for many here in the relativistic West, is how, exactly, do we know what the nature of God is?? Anyone?
