mutual acceptance

By Diogenes (articles ) | October 14, 2006 9:15 AM

Thirty-eight Muslim scholars and chief muftis from numerous countries have accepted Pope Benedict XVI’s apology for his remarks on Islam, the editor of a Muslim journal said today.

How thoughtful of the Muslim scholars to accept the apology even before the Pope offered it. Now that is the spirit of dialogue.

In the same spirit, I am happy to accept the Nobel Prize.

An appeal from our founder, Dr. Jeffrey Mirus:

    Well, several of your fellow bloggers are also under the impression the Pope has apologized. Of course, I put them in the same category as Muslims: deluded, probably stupid, unable to read, etc.

    Pseudo's remarks are always a blast.

    Uncle Di deserves the Nobel. His writings are dynamite.
