I CAN'T think of any other religion whose followers would have reacted in such an extreme way to words of criticism by the head of another faith.
The Muslim reaction, worldwide, to the Pope quoting from a medieval text has been appalling.
Nuns murdered, calls for the Pope to be killed, effigies burned, and the usual condemnation of the western world.
Is it any wonder that Islamophobia is growing so rapidly?
