Nun murdered in retaliation for what Pope said

[LDSTexan]

I am glad that this man is condemned.


I don't know what to think about what the Pope said. I think, historically, and correct me if I am wrong...but Islam was largely spread by the sword. Not necessarily by compulsion, but by conquest. Did not Mohammed successor successfully take over much of the arab world by force?

Muhammed DID spread it by the sword. It was convert or die", and unfortunately the torch has been carried on till present day with Al Qaeda, etc. This was the same mentality that the Crusaders took to the Jews and Muslims. Kill the unbeliever. Satan is is such a liar as to twist doctrines as to allow a very shallow false justification for murder. I personally believe that the Crusaders were not inspired by God (but by Satan the Father of Lies) so I will never believe the argument that any religion has a God given right to compell conversion by force as it is against an eternal principle called "free agency" that even God respects. Where there is no choice there is no growth. Compulsion can never cause true conversion, and thus the taking of another's "free agency" is an abomination in the site of God and both groups Muslims/Christians have been guilty of it.


Here's a question. Why doesn't the Muslim world ever come out and condemn terrorist acts doen against non-muslims? The silence has me concerned. This world has gone mad. :banghead:
