If the Pope gives an implied criticism of Muslims for violence, why do they answer with violence?
It doesn't make sense- they should answer with kindness, or at most argument.

The Muslim world operates under a shame/honor paradigm. Whenever they are shamed (criticism is levied against their tradition), it is incumbant to regain honor.
Apparently, there is no honor in kindness, neither in argument. Blood must be spilled for honor to be restored.

I totally agree.
As to the answer, Semites, both Jews and Arabs, seem to have always been this way. It's a way of life.
They go to buy a camel and they argue and shout and call each other names, but eventually come to financial terms and walk away from each other muttering about the other fellow.
This seems to be their way of life.
I see lots of Christans do that too!
I watched a girl, a white girl, argue at McDonald's the other day over a LARGE OJ. IT seems MickeyDs don't offer a LARGE OJ. What THEY CALL a LARGE is put into a MEDIUM soda glass and she wanted the SUPERSIZE OJ and they had to create a price for her and she argued and argued and argued.
Well, that's how Semites do everything in life. And they do it loudly, with big arm gestures and sometimes it looks like it's going to come to blows!
Yet in the End the guy with camel wants to sell it and the guy looking at the camle wants to buy one.
There are lots of other camels around, so if the guy who wants to buy starts to wander off the camel owner is stuck with the beast for another day or two and some other camel owner will get the money.
So, they reach truce.

it fairly is so some distance from the reality it isn't humorous, it really is not what the pope stated in any respect, you may bypass to his internet website and browse it for your self. He develop into having a communicate on the courting of the Muslim and Christan religions in history and develop into reading a letter written over 600 years in the past. it would want to be really effortless for the Muslim leaders to educate the letter incorrect by employing deliver interest to it and then forgiving the previous, attending to renowned from it and occurring to make stronger the courting between everybody of the international. fairly by employing employing the 600 three hundred and sixty 5 days previous letter in this way, and taking it completely out of context and employing it to incite hate and mistrust contained in the international, the Muslim leaders are doing extra to educate the 600 three hundred and sixty 5 days previous letter develop into maximum suitable. Sounds as if the Muslim community develop into in basic terms imparted with a chunk of the recommendations and informed that they were the words of the Pope and did not educate each and every of the reality.

you do not live in this part of the world, you measure everything by the way you got it in the west. People there got nothing but their believe. The western society will never be able to understand!
I do not really care about what this old man said, we are what we are. If you think we are good or bad, terrorists or not!!! what this old man said is a part of an agenda by Bush and extreme right wings in the west to trigger more hate and anger in the Muslim world. He knew well what he said, he knew what the reaction would be. He saw this few month ago when the newspaper from Denmark drew insulting picture of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Unbelievable, they steal the land (Iraq,Palestine, Afghanistan), steal the wealth and oil, kill the people, insult the most precious symbols that these people got left which is their faith! and still think that we are over reacting!! We believe, love and respect Jesus. I say it because our religion has taught us to do so unlike some other low people claim to be civilized

Not all Muslims react in violence. Just those that are being herded and gulled for someone's personal agenda. Don't judge all Muslims for the violent acts of a few. That's like judging all Christians for what the KKK does or what some charlatans and cult leaders did (Garesh, Jim Jones, Rev Moon... ).
If YOU are a Christian, live YOUR faith and do not criticize (Judge not so ye may not be judged) and leave others to their own beliefs.
This constant need to criticize others and find fault is what has this world in such chaotic and hate-filled times. Leave it alone.
