Nothing like proving the point-

But the crusades, the holocaust, and countless other examples disprove the notion that Islam is somehow special in that regard. At this time in history, that's where the religion is, but it's not a unique feature of the religion by any stretch.

No- I said that no other modern religion reacts with mob violence and threats of death or actual murder these days. Though if you want to start taking the Koran apart there are many verses that encourage and support that violence.

Sadly the Muslim faith has been like this for a long time- they just have scarier weapons now.

It just seems ironic, and throwing other faiths in is IMO a distraction. The Pope cites a quote that says that Islam is evil and inhuman and in response some Muslims demand his death- they demand his execution as the only way to right the "wrong" which I think- turns around and proves the point of the quote.

You come to me, and say that Christianity is evil and inhuman, and I'll likely be annoyed...but I sure as hell don't think Christians will rise up and demand your death as atonement.
