How Did I Forget Muslim's Day of Rage ?

I've been caught up in projects most of the day, and managed to get only one post up for Muslim's "Rage Day" (work with me now, I know it seems like every day is Muslim rage day but this is suppose to be a "more" rage day). Fortunately, I happened over to Jihad Watch and Robert Spencer has been covering it:
The Day of Rage is in full swing, and we are certain to see more, now that Friday prayers are wrapping up. From Iran comes this gem: Ayatollah Abdullah Javadi Amoli informs the Pope that without the Qur'an, "American Christianity and the Zionists would not left anything of the divine Christianity and Judaism." Amoli, of course, is working from some core Muslim assumptions: that Judaism and Christianity as we know them today are corrupted versions of the original messages of Moses and Jesus, and that Moses and Jesus were actually Muslim prophets who taught Islam. Thus only the Qur'an preserves true Christianity and Judaism.More at "Pope should know that had it not been for Islam and its divine book, nothing would have been left of Christianity and Judaism", "On 'Conquering Rome is the Answer' - And Other Sick Pervertions Of Islamic Extremism", "OK, but only if you stop jihad", "I'm so mad at the Pope, I think I'll burn an Israeli flag", 'Green flag of Allah will fly over Vatican', and "If the pope comes here we will hang him on the Cross".
You can just feel all the love going on today with the followers of what appears to be a religion of perpetual outrage. Unless moderate Muslims (Hellooooo out there!!!) begin to speak out more loudly than the presently far more vocal extremist cohort of their community, Islam's reputation for being a religion of perpetual outrage will only increase. As I said today in an earlier post, there's really no other way to put it: "If Islam is a religion of peace, and if the majority of Muslims do indeed reject violence and support freedom of religion and speech, they should make their voices heard." Otherwise, the consequences will be of their own doing.
