Text of Pope's Speech
I came across this comment from a Muslim reader in response to the Pope's recent speech, which I found interesting. Let me know what you all think of it. I will comment on this recent controversy in a bit.
"The text of the pope's speech confirms what is written in the Koran : the Church changed the words of the book of genesis to adopt the "reason" as was then championed by the Greeks who were pagans. The church's faith is then not following the first book of genesis, but is pagan at its foundation, and considers reason as something outside of God's message. The Old Testament, the New Testament (the non-modified version), and the Koran are the only true texts from God. Koran is the only text from God still unchanged and practiced today on earth. Reason is something internal to the Islamic faith as opposed to being external to the church's faith, an aspect explained by the pope himself. Therefore, from the point of view who anyone who is following the words of God and not modifications of these words, the pope is a pagan, the church is pagan, its followers are pagans, and it is rightly for Muslims to defend God's words against the pagans and dis-believers. The Pope well explained how and why John changed even God's words to suit the reason of the ancient Greeks. The pope will find peace by converting to Islam, and performing shaddah and the sallat if he wants to go to heaven. Pagans have always been big mouths throughout history, because inside themselves they feel empty and they know that they changed the words of God. We Muslims are at peace with ourselves and with God, and we are right and the only non-pagans on earth today".

I do not think we should call Christians "pagans". Afterall, they are called "People of the Book" in the Quran. But it is also important to realize that Christians are following a modified man-made religious construct, as you have aptly pointed out. They are not the same kind of believers as Muslims, and can never be. And Christians should not be treated as fellow Muslims - I disagree with the premise that Muslim men are allowed to marry Christian women, for example. Maybe so, if the Christian woman was the Christian of eons ago...
But of course, we should treat them we would a fellow human with mutual respect and. And if they don't respect you, don't respect them. Simple.
