| Kynes said: If it would have a net positive result for the Spanish economy, then I'm almost sure the protests would be minimal, if any. The problem is that atheists in Spain, and mostly in the entire world, protest against Christians in general, and Catholics in particular, but they almost never protest against Muslims. The problem isn't that a religious leader has come to Spain, the problem is that he's the Pope, and what he represents. |
No, the problem is that this is a religious event funded by taxpayer money. A Government (in a democratic secular country at least), is not allowed to fund such an event. Believe it or not, but lots of people actually care about things like freedom of religion, and dislike it when it is broken, this being such a case. And I don't see any Western Governments funding trips to Mecca for muslims, so why would anyone protest against them?
