Wonderful place, Sicily. Wonderful people there, too.

Why the hell aren't ALL journalists implanted with RFID chips? It's like we haven't made any damn progress at all with this crap since the Lebanon hostages in the 1980s. Disgusting ignorance of cheap and easily usuable technology.

Condolences sent.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said of the killing: "There are no words for an inhuman act which all at once wipes out centuries of civilisation and returns us to the dark times of barbarism."



anything else to say? welcome to the year 1,400

I think it's time we start " beheading " some Shrines and remove that dome, sell the gold and pay off any victims family explaining that this religion "didnt work" and therefor not needed in a world of too much violence. If the real Muslims don't take offense that a bunch of thugs have hijacked their religion, then they werent worth a sh*t in the first place and its time to move on to something that works for their people.

Prayers from a fellow Italian for a speedy entrance into paradise... Theologians in the Church have provided supporting arguments that victims like Mr. Baldoni and those who died in 9/11 can be classified as "martyrs" for the faith, since they are targeted largely based on their Judeo-Christian persuasion ...

My father is Sicilian/Calabrese. He's the kindest and one of the most compassionate people you will ever meet.

I grew up dreading the Evil Eye, but cherishing the affection of a father who I always knew would be in my corner...

Just don't piss him off.

They'll be in hell for eternity IF they don't repent and recognize the Judeo Christian God. Eternity is a looooonnngggg time. Hopefully we'll get them while on this earth and punish them.

God bless Italy and God bless the man who was butchered. May there be a special place in hell, hotter than all the rest, for these militants.

My grandmother and grandfather were Calabrese.

I know what you mean. I can't think of anything bad enough to describe thier actions. Monsters is a good as any word for them. Monsters to the tenth power. My heart goes out to the family.
