Since we're all currently ruminating on how threatened the world's billion or so Moslems are by the recent words of the Pope quoting the 600 year-old words of an obscure Catholic philosopher, we're indebted to Tom Gross for getting to the rootest of root causes.As we learned from the tragic affair of the Danish cartoons, this is all far from being a joke. People die when the Moslem mobs are unleashed.The Iranian daily Jomhuri Islami claimed that Israel and the United States dictated the pope's comments to distract attention from the recent war between Israel and Hizbullah.
The newspaper commented that "the reality is that if we do not consider Pope Benedict XVI to be ignorant of Islam, then his remarks against Islam are a dictat that the Zionists and the Americans have written (for him) and have submitted to him... The American and the Zionist aim is to undermine the glorious triumph of Islam's children of Lebanese Hizbullah, which annulled the undefeatable legend of the Israeli army and foiled the Satanic and colonialist American plot."
Another Iranian daily newspaper, Kayhan, argued that "There are many signs that show that Pope Benedict XVI's remarks regarding the great prophet of Islam are a link in a connected chain of a Zionist-American project... The project, which was created and executed by the Zionist minority, aims at creating confrontation between the followers of the two great divine religions."

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
