Re: “Pope enrages Muslims”, Sept. 16.
I actually read the entire speech by Pope Benedict XVI that has caused such a ruckus, “Pope enrages Muslims”, Sept. 16, and feel it deserves an intellectual response from Islamic scholars and not the childish, violent and destructive rioting that is taking place.
Violence in the name of religion is a valid topic, especially in light of our current world situation. Muslims would go a long way in enlightening the non-Islamic world about the peaceful aims of their religion through intellectual dialogue instead of engaging in mindless violence at every perceived slight to their religion.
