AN Iraqi armed group has threatened to carry out attacks against Rome and the Vatican in retaliation for Pope Benedict XVI's remarks on Islam, according to a statement posted on the internet today.
"We swear that we will destroy their cross in the heart of Rome ... and that their Vatican will be hit and wept over by the Pope," said Jaish al-Mujahideen (the Mujahideen's Army) in the statement, whose authenticity could not be confirmed.
The statement lashed out at "Zionised Christians and loathsome crusaders" and was accompanied by six films showing attacks against US military targets in Iraq, which it said were "dedicated to the dog of the crusaders (an apparent reference to the Pope) in retaliation for his remarks".
"We will not rest until your thrones and your crosses have been destroyed on your own territory," said the group, which has claimed many attacks against US and government forces in Iraq.

Get out the big can of RAID.
What concerns me is that the Vatican seems to be capitulating to these goons. They are issuing statements like "The Pope meant no offense."
Ya know what, if the Vatican doesn't stand it's ground they're going to come out of this the way they did after WWII when they didn't take a STRONG stand against the Holocaust. They need to grow a backbone and say, "Yeah, Islam IS evil and violent, and you morons are just proving the point!"
But I'm not gonna hold my breath.
This sums it it up!
Prayers up for the Holy Father and Rome. Muzzie really are homicidal maniacs.
You have lied that Islam is a violent religion, for this you must die! Your women will wail "Why, why did we think Islam was violent" as we rape and murder them. Your enslaved children will rue the day their infidel parents refused to accept Islam as the one true merciful religion.
A direct declaration of war against the Church.
BFD. So what else is new with the muzzies. That's their business--attacks, murders and rapes.
Can there be any lingering doubt that His Holiness spoke the truth?
RAID is right. The muslim killers in the ABC movie looked exactly like scurrying roaches in dust and dark alleys. No other animal came to mind - just roaches scurrying from light.
TROP indeed.
It is a "quote" that he read that engendered all this ruckus...
see Michelle Malkin for good coverage:

I'm no Catholic, but, such an event would strike so close to the essence of Christianity that the Muslims would certainly know what a "Crusade" is, and not mouth the empty word for propagandistic effect.
"A direct declaration of war against the Church."
Doesn't take much to get them excited...LOL
It seems they are either in a frenzy, or collecting virgins.
With nothing in between.
"Behead everyone except us Muslims....
....unless she wants an education... or unless he disagrees with Islam... or unless the innocent child can be used as a human shield... or unless the innocent's death could be used for political propaganda...."

If you want on (or off) this Catholic and Pro-Life ping list, let me know!
The Vatican would be about the worst possible place to attack.
As I've been saying, the bloodletting this century will make the wars of the 20th century look like Quaker church picnics.
We must release the hurt inner-child that is crying out for compassion. We need to become more sensitive to the needs of Islamic people, embrace them, hold their hands, wipe the tears from out of their eyes. . .just as you would your own child who has scrapped his knee and needs a Mommie to kiss his boo-boo and make it all better.
Wait a minute . . .BAAARRRRFFFFFFFFF. . .there, I feel better now.. .ate some of that bad spinach and had to purge it, quick!
The Muslims latest complaint:
You'd better not call us violent...or we'll get violent.
Does it have anything to do with the werds of muuuhamhead (Pigs be inseminating her)?
Quran-4:89— Take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah. But if they turn renegades, wherever ye find them; and take no friends or helpers from their ranks.
Sura 9:5 of the “Koranus,” “wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush.”
" upon such of those to whom the Scriptures have been given as believe not in God." Sura 9:29
"Strike off their heads then, and strike off from them every finger tip." - Sura 8:12
Don't make them mad! They're already commanded to murder allah mankind! Don't make them mad!
There's nothing worse than having an angry satan worshiper saw your head off.
But on the other hand if the slimes are happy maybe they'll use a sharp knife, and be mercifull!
Don't make them mad!
Aap aap ahh dap dap!!!!!
It's a religion of peace

Of course, the Pope individually is not the one who will feel the worst of Muslim rage -- Christians (even non-Catholic Christians) in Muslim countries are being attacked and having their churches burned.
Would you have him be like Salmon Rushdie, who went into hiding when his book inspired a fatwa against him and who nevertheless got out word that bookstores should display his book prominently, leaving minimum-wage clerks to risk the wrath of offended Muslims?
Is that not the way of the West now?
"Oh, we are so sorry we drew a cartoon of Mo.
"Oh, we apologize for saying some in the name of Islam are freekin' lunatics"
One thing all of this capitulation is doing is causing these Islamic idiots to become even bolder.
After all, the jihadists now know: Threaten the West with violence, they will back down and we will get our way.
"Islam will have signed its death warrant with an attack on the Pope.
I'm no Catholic, but, such an event would strike so close to the essence of Christianity that the Muslims would certainly know what a "Crusade" is, and not mouth the empty word for propagandistic effect."-
I wish that would be the case, but we let slide so many acts of violence, if there was an attack on the Pope I am sure that the react would be much less severe than it needs to be.
with every apology and capitulation, these bastards get stronger and more bold.
We are fighting this war with kid gloves while the enemy strikes us with bear fists-in this type of fight-who draws more blood?
That figure is roughly correct.

The comparison to "Mars Attacks" is so right on. Never thought about that before.
I'ts beautiful!!!
"Europe you will pay. Fantastic 4 are on their way!!!"
Is that supposed to mean something or has someone been photoshopping??
"Islam will have signed its death warrant with an attack on the Pope."
I assure you that many mosques will be burned and the streets will run red with the blood of Muslims across the world if they dare do anything to the pope. The Christian world would explode. Remember Nigeria and the Netherlands. Christians are capable of violence too.
I want this perverted cult to go away, too, but what temporal means will bring this about?
Can you imagine the retribution should some follower of the Prophet (cursed be his name) should off the Pope? Your average European isn't all that religious, but he or she still takes some things seriously, especially in southern Europe. There wouldn't be a Moslem alive south of the Danube within a couple of years.
If such an event did not turn 1% of Catholics all over the world into bloodthirsty, avenging warriors, then Catholicism needn't deserve to survive.
ROFLOL! That's funny. I just looked at the ones in the front. Of course as nutty as they are nothing is really surprising. I'm going to see if I can find this "protest" picture at another source.
Who said Christians would need any government to assist them in 'taking out the trash'?
Maybe they just like to rhyme. LOL.
"AN undercover investigation has caught leaders of a radical Islamic group inciting young British Muslims to become terrorists and praising the Tube bombers as “the fantastic four”." link"Most of the placards appeared on Friday, running through permutations on several themes. They read: "Butcher those who mock Islam", "Slay those who insult Islam", "Behead those who insult Islam", and "Kill those who insult Islam". Some evoked previous al-Qaida suicide bombings: "Europe you will pay, your 9/11 is on the way", or "7/7 is on its way", "Europe you will pay, fantastic 4 are on their way", and "Europe you will pay, Bin Laden is on his way". As well as the rhyming "Europe you'll come crawling, when the Mujahideen come roaring", there were splenetic varieties: "Freedom go to hell", "Liberalism go to hell", and "Freedom of expression go to hell".
When you pointed out the "Fantastic 4", a different mental image came to me. It seemed so bizarre I thought for a minute it might be a photoshop-like these people need to be photoshopped. They do fine all by themselves. LOL.
Appreciate it.

Every time a Western institution is threatened, the divide becomes wider for those who think about it for longer than 2 minutes or do not have another agenda.
President Bush, PM Howard, and PM Blair get it. So does the Pope. How much more will it take for the rest of the West's leadership wakes up?
The Pope says his words, intent were misinterpreted. It seems the misinterpretation is deliberate and that conversation is therefore impossible.
Come on Pope B, let's do the Islamic macaca grovel!!
They are upset the Pope quoted someone saying Islam is a violent religion, and so they are going to blow people up in protest at the slander.
Moslem men seem to think about about little more than sex and death. What a depressing life they have.
