Convert or Die

Let me see if I have this right:

- The Pope, Benedict XVI, gives an academic talk where he briefly discusses that you shouldn't spread religion at the point of a sword, and references a 14th century passage that implies that Islam did just that

- Adherents of the "Religion of Peace" immediately invoke their snappy marketing slogan (same slogan last 1400 years!) and tell the Pope to "convert or die". Then the wrongly impugned peaceniks proceed to murder a nun, burn churches, and demand the hanging of the Pope.

Kinda proved his point, didn't they?

He owes no one an apology. He wasn't wrong.

When will the West wake up?
