Muslims are Outraged that the Pope Criticized Islam - But They Critize Christianity All the Time

Muslims are outraged at the Pope for expressing criticism of Islam. But it has long been common for Islamic imams to, not just criticise, but to utterly condemn Judeo-Christian religion. From Memri.org, here's a summary of Friday sermons from Saudi mosques, from 2002 - long before the Pope's recent remarks:

• Part I - 'The Christians and the Jews are "Infidels," "Enemies of Allah"'
• Part II - 'Jews - The Descendants of Pigs and Apes'
• Part III - 'It is Impossible to Make Peace With the Jews'
• Part IV - 'Muslims Must Educate Their Children to Jihad… and to Hatred of Jews and Christians'
• Part V - 'The Palestinian Struggle Must be An Islamic Jihad'
• Part VI - 'Muslim Women's Rights are a Western Ploy to Destroy Islam'

Daniel Pipes documents that it is common in Islam to refer to Christians by the very derogatory term, "kafir," or infidel. 

So Muslims think it's perfectly okay for them to criticize Judeo-Christian religions. But it's not okay for the Pope to critize Islam.

This is the behavior of the dictator and the bully. Islam is going to have to evolve and adapt to the 21st century.
