Gazans warn pope to accept Islam
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH
Citing the words of the Prophet Muhammad, Muslim religious leaders in the Gaza Strip on Sunday warned Pope Benedict XVI that he must "accept" Islam if he wanted to live in peace.
The warning, the first of its kind, came as many Christians in the West Bank expressed anger over a spate of attacks on churches in protest against remarks made by the pope about the Muslims and the Prophet Muhammad.
...
One of them, Dr. Imad Hamto, called on the pope to "repent and ask for forgiveness." He added: "We want to use the words of the Prophet Muhammad and tell the pope: 'Aslim Taslam'" Aslim Taslam is a phrase that was taken from the letters sent by the Prophet Muhammad to the chiefs of tribes in his times in which he reportedly urged them to convert to Islam to spare their lives.
...
They also called on the pope to direct his words to the Jews who, they claimed, were "spreading corruption and destruction."
Ummmmm so old mohammad writes letters basically saying: CONVERT & WE SPARE YOUR LIFE (or if you don't convert you die) and we have moslems in 2006 & all sundry apologists that islam has no compulsion in religion?!?
Are Westerners complete buffoons?!? Obviously, because there just cannot be any other explanation...
