All I get instead are .. blah blah blah .. inventions.. blah blah blah.. Israel-U.S relations .. blah blah ... oil... blah blah .. suicide bombings...blah blah blah....Arab world.. blah blah..
The thread topic is the Pope saying something against Muslims. Therefore, I am trying to link a major religious Muslim leader in saying the same thing. Yet, people have decided to twist things around because they are filled with hate and misinformation-knowledge
Sorry I'm late, just got here.
I believe this qualifies as "speaking out against" and the source is from a "religious Mulsim leader"...
"Christian Zionists are a group who adopted Satan as god who drives their crazy nature. They have praised depravity and cursed virtue, they have turned the moral scale upside down and have reached [a point] in which forgery, deception and lying have turned into descriptions of world policy, which is led by the Zionism on both its branches ? the Jewish and the Christian." - Cleric Hamed Al-Tamimi, director of inter-religious dialogue for the Palestenian Authority's Judicial Council.

In your retort you are of course welcome to discredit the above quote for whatever reason but rest assured it was not a difficult google and there are plenty more. I'm sort of surpised that it was even necessary to go find a quote to demonstrate this. Also know that I am already aware of equally horrindous quotes that can be found coming Christians regarding Muslims.
The Pope's sermon when taken as a whole is not actually even about Muslims let alone against them. Nobody is, of course looking at the entire Sermon. I also think his sermon only qualifies as inflamatory rhetoric when reduced to it's single out of context quote who's words are not even his own:
"Show me just what Muhammad 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"
These words were said by Emperor Manual II Paleologos of the Byzantine Empire (1391-1425). Although ~600 years old do these words still sting even today? Is it because the words are so far from the truth or because they are uncomfortably close to the truth?
Let's ask Abdul Rahman what he thinks..

As a trivial side topic regarding the (quite silly) ?invention argument? you found yourself caught in earlier...

How about: The Automobile.
Invented by Henry Ford, a Christian (and some say anti-semite?). Actually another Christian disputes Ford's claim as the original inventor but since both were Christian it doesn't really matter for the purposes of answering your question.
