Muslim nations 'should separate church and state'

I sure would like to hear more comments like this coming from the non-Muslim world. Why we've put up with Muzzie's "My Allah is better than Yours" attitude for this long is beyond me.

More anti-dhimmitude from Australia, where it is getting to be quite a common sight. From Australia's ABC News, with thanks to Rosie:

Federal Treasurer Peter Costello has called on Islamic societies to disconnect church from state.

Mr Costello has said Islamic states should adopt a secular view free of all religion, in an address to the Australian Christian Lobby at a Christian Conference in Canberra today.

He also says Muslim societies should allow robust debate, after reaction to comments made last week by Pope Benedict XVI that sparked outrage across the Islamic world.

"How can one religion exercise the freedom to speak on its values, its faith, without prompting a violent response from other religions?" Mr Costello said.

"It can only happen where we all accept a set of rules, the right to freedom of speech without receiving violence in return."

Mr Costello says separating religion from government allows religious freedom.

"Now, I have argued that separation of church and state is good for both and further consistent with Christ's teaching," he said.

"I believe that a secular, national state can be adopted by Muslim societies and what is more, in doing so, will lead to greater technological and economic progress."

The federal Opposition says Mr Costello should not be making comments on international politics. Labor's treasury spokesman Wayne Swan says Mr Costello should leave the political comments to Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander Downer.

But Australian Christian Lobby managing director Jim Wallace says Mr Costello was merely expressing his views.

"We've got to be free to say what we believe and to criticise, if necessary, any ideology or faith," he said.

"I think it doesn't help for us to allow ourselves to be intimidated into either silence or denial about the reality of ideologies or faiths that are out there."

Read it all.

Pope Rage

Last week in Germany, the pope quoted a medieval text that characterized some of the teachings of Islam's founder as "evil and inhuman" and referred to spreading Islam "by the sword."

The "Pope, and all Infidels, should know that no Muslim, under any circumstances, can tolerate an insult to the Prophet (Muhammad).... If the West does not change its stance regarding Islam, it will face severe consequences," Pakistani clerics said. Sept 21.

Also,

A leaflet issued by militants on Tuesday threatened to "target all Crusaders [a term frequently employed by Muslim Arabs to denote Christians] in the Gaza Strip until the pope issues an official apology."

Calling themselves "The Army of Guidance," the group announced that "all centers belonging to Crusaders, including churches and institutions, will from now on be targeted. We will even attack the Crusaders as they sit intoxicated in their homes." Sept 19

Also,

Sheikh Abubakar Hassan Malin told worshippers at his mosque to hunt down and kill whoever offended the Prophet Mohammed. Sept 15.

Gunmen have shot dead a 65-year-old Italian nun and her bodyguard at a hospital in Somali capital, Mogadishu. The attackers shot the nun three times in the back at the women and children's hospital in the south of the city before fleeing the scene. Sept 18.

Sounds like the Pope's quote of a 14th Century Christian emperor's comments were right on the mark. No wonder Muzzie has is panties in a wad.

The Pope spoke the truth!

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."

The Pope's comments were right on the mark.

And the Muslim response is so fucking typical: We are a religion of peace. This is another attack on Muslims and Islam. Muslims are not violent. Blah, blah, blah.

Well fuck you and a violent pedophile prophet wanna-be Muhammed. With so many examples of Islamic violence and hatred towards all things non-Muslim, do you really think the non-Muslim world believes anything you say?
