Pope offends Muslims
Once again, the Muslims are offended. This time it wasn't cartoons that offended them. It was the Pope.
Personally, I don't see where any human has the right to be offended about anything. No one is that holy or that pure. And if they were, they wouldn't be offended because they would realize being offended falls under the sin of pride.
Be that as it may, while I am not offended by the Muslims being offended, I am sick and tired of their constant whining. To be fair, fundamentalist Christians do a lot of whining too - another group constantly complaining about how offended they are about this, that and the other thing.
I think what all this whining is really about is there is a group of people out there who really hate being human. They would like to be pure spirits. To have a body, offends them. Flesh and bone frightens them.
If they were offended by the Pope - accidentally - let me see what I can do intentionally.
In my vampire novel "The Dancing Valkyrie" one of the vampire characters talks about the real Dracula, Vlad the Impaler, who, as she says, prevented the Turks from turning Romania into the Islamic mess they made of Yugoslavia and Albania. For the Romanians, Dracula was and is a hero! It was fear of the Muslim sword that caused many Christians to convert to Islam and create the problem that still exists in that area.
Yes, Christians should be ashamed of the Crusades. But the Muslim world has much to be ashamed of in their past. Pots and kettles shouldn't be calling each other black.
