An elderly nun was murdered, attacked from behind by gunmen who had a problem with Pope Benedicts recent speech.
Oh, excuse me, the press is only speculating on that connection, its not clear to them - theyre not sure this woman wasnt simply cut down by her pimp, for holding out. Or, you know, maybe this was just a drug deal gone bad. Theyll get to the bottom of it, soon. The cowardly shooting-from-behind of a septegenarian nun might actually have something to do with Muslims rampaging because Benedict dared to address issues of faith and reason, and to suggest that Muslims might better dialogue with the rest of the world if theyd put down their swords, but the mediating intelligences in the fourth estate cant make that connection just yet. Theyll get back to you on that.
UPDATE: Greek Archbishop Christodoulos has his own words for Islam, and they are much harsher than Benedicts, but just as straight up:
Many Christians on the Black Continent (Africa) suffer from fanatic Islamists. The example of Roman Catholic monks who were slaughtered last year
because they wore the cross and believed in our crucified Lord is still recent, said Christodoulos.
