Muslim paper: "Pope goes berserk"
"Pope Benedict XV1 has deplorably gone berserk. With his uncouthly [sic] and uninformed assertions about Islam, he has not only deeply hurt the sentiments of the 1.5 billion followers of this noble religion of peace, love and affection worldwide but has also belittled his own exalted office. (...) "With just one stroke has this pope trashed his entire endeavour and showed himself up as a begot [sic] and a rabble-rouser. This doesn't fit in at all with the highest ecclesiastical office that he holds.
"The pope, after all, couldn't be unaware of how his calculatedly disparaging pronouncements would be received by a Muslim fraternity which already is reeling under a painful sense that it itself as also its noble faith is being purposely maliciously demonised by mischievous elements in the Christian West."

Here's a clue: stop flying airplanes into buildings, stop shooting nuns in the back, stop setting fires everytime your itty bitty wittle feewings are hurt over the slightest of slights -- and we'll stop with the "demonising", m'kay?
Although I kinda like being called "mischievous" -- makes me feel so young!
