Something I would point out with the bit about the Pope. Considering the forum in which he made his now infamous comments, I think that they were taken WAY out of context. It was a scholarly debate about historical issues. If someone in a university quotes Hitler during a history seminar, does that mean he's an anti-semite?Given the (over)reactions of certain Islamic groups in the recent past, I'm thinking that they may be protesting a tad too much.Then again, it would be nice to see 5000 Muslims marching every time there's a bombing in the name of Allah. But, getting back to the original point, it's really just the same old story. 20 years ago, it was the Big Red Scare. Since that doesn't work anymore, the powers that be simply need yet another bogeyman to distract people.
