Aa, I think we're all agreed that the pope the other day was at the very least ill-advised to use that quote. However his actions have been backed up by Archbishop Carey. Carey having now expressed the view that Islam and violence are intertwined and issues a challenge to the muslim community to address this reported connection. So what do we do?
Do we choose to get angry and wave our fists during this holy month of Ramadan? Do we simply dismiss it as ignorance and do nothing? No, I do not think so...
How about we make the best of a bad situation? How about we bring a positive to a negative and actually answer this man's question...
Carey and the Pope may be anti-islamic, but why not give them and the rest of the world the benefit of the doubt and teach them?
So let's discuss...is our faith intrinsically violent? And how do we find backing for our views in the qur'an? How do we answer the verses that might be construed to be violent?
I look forwards to hearing your answers?
