Ironically challenged

So the pope quotes someone to the effect that the only new things Muhammad has brought into the world is evil and violence. The response to the accusation? Uhm... jihad.

That's right. A source inside the camp calling for jihad quotes a jihadi:

"We will respond to accusations of being violent with violence!"

And:

"How dare the pope say that we are violent! We will show him the error of his ways by calling on followers of Muhammad to do violence to him."

Peter: No need for made-up quotes when you have this gem (amongst others) to point to:

"Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence," [Pakistan's] Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said.

As self-defeating arguments go, that one's pretty good, I think.
