Help! Irony meter pegged! Medic!

Direct from the “I couldn’t have illustrated unintentional irony better myself” files, here’s Pakistani (our allies, remember?) foreign ministry spokesman Tasnim Aslam (Via LGF):

Pakistan’s parliament unanimously adopted a resolution condemning (Pope Benedict) for making what it called “derogatory” comments about Islam, and seeking an apology from him. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry also called the pope’s remarks “regrettable.”

“Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence,” Aslam said.

So…to recap…Islam is not a violent religion. Mmmm-hmmmm. And anyone who says it is will die by the Islamic sword. Gotcha.
