Muslims are in the streets AGAIN, making more demands, exhibiting their "peaceful" nature and their brand of tolerance.
Look at these photos. They just drip with peace and love, don't they?

LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) -- About 1,000 Muslim clerics and religious scholars meeting Thursday in eastern Pakistan demanded the removal of Pope Benedict XVI for making what they called "insulting remarks" against Islam.
Benedict "should be removed from his position immediately for encouraging war and fanning hostility between various faiths" and "making insulting remarks" against Islam, said a joint statement issued by the clerics and scholars at the end of their one-day convention.
The "pope, and all infidels, should know that no Muslim, under any circumstances, can tolerate an insult to the Prophet (Muhammad). ... If the West does not change its stance regarding Islam, it will face severe consequences," it said.
...The meeting came after the pope said Sunday he was "deeply sorry" about the reactions to his remarks and that they did not reflect his own opinions.
...The clerics and religious scholars said they did not regard Benedict's latest comments as an apology.
"The pope has neither accepted his mistake, nor apologized for his words," it said.
The statement also said jihad was not terrorism and that "Islam was not propagated with the sword, but it became popular and was accepted by the oppressed peoples of the world because of its universal values and teachings."
"Jihad is waged to rid an area, state, or the world of oppression, violence, cruelty, and terrorism, and bring peace and relief to the people. History is full of incidents where Muslims waged jihad to provide relief to people of many faiths, especially Jews and Christians," it said.
First, a note to the protesters: The Pope is not going to resign. The Catholic Church is not going to remove him from his position.
These people are nuts!
Have these fanatics ever accepted an apology?
Really. I'd be interested to know. Educate me.
This statement is a killer: "Jihad is waged to rid an area, state, or the world of oppression, violence, cruelty, and terrorism, and bring peace and relief to the people."
These militant Muslims are demanding Pope Benedict's head, literally and figuratively.
THEY ARE PROVING THAT THEIR STYLE OF JIHAD IS VIOLENT AND DEPENDS ON THE SWORD.
What an embarrassment to the more moderate Muslims!
Actually, I shouldn't make that assumption.
Are moderate Muslims disgusted by the actions of the radical wing of Islam?
(Crickets chirping.)
