An al-Qaida-linked extremist group warned Pope Benedict XVI on Monday that he and the West were "doomed," as protesters raged across the Muslim world to demand more of an apology from the pontiff for his remarks about Islam and violence.
The Mujahedeen Shura Council, an umbrella organization of Sunni Arab extremist groups that includes al-Qaida in Iraq, issued a statement on a Web forum vowing to continue its holy war against the West. The authenticity of the statement could not be independently verified.
The group said Muslims would be victorious and addressed the pope as "the worshipper of the cross" saying "you and the West are doomed as you can see from the defeat in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and elsewhere. ... We will break up the cross, spill the liquor and impose head tax, then the only thing acceptable is a conversion (to Islam) or (killed by) the sword."
Islam forbids drinking alcohol and requires non-Muslims to pay a head tax to safeguard their lives if conquered by Muslims. They are exempt if they convert to Islam.
In Indian-controlled Kashmir, meanwhile, shops, businesses and schools shut down in response to a strike call by the head of a hard-line Muslim separatist leader to denounce Benedict. For the third day running, people burned tires and shouted "Down with the pope."
Protests also broke out in Iraq, where angry demonstrators burned an effigy of the pope in Basra, and in Indonesia, where more than 100 people rallied in front of the heavily guarded Vatican Embassy in Jakarta, waving banners that said the "Pope is building religion on hatred."
The pope...cited the words of a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of Islam's Prophet Muhammad as "evil and inhuman" and referred to spreading Islam "by the sword."

These homicidal maniacs would kill us all if they had the right technology.
Good thing there's plenty of ocean between us.
Pay the tax or die (unless you convert)? I thought I saw two Islamic scholars on BBC say that Islam was never spread by the sword.
Just kill a million of them, and they will hide like Quaddafi for 15 years : )
"Pay the tax or die (unless you convert)? "
Finally....the Democrats plan for a new America is revealed.
Remember, every Christian who decides to limit their family size to one, two or none is working to make this guy's prediction come true.

Islam...requires non-Muslims to pay a head tax to safeguard their lives if conquered by Muslims. They are exempt if they convert to Islam.
And once they convert, they are killed if they try to renounce islam and quit being a muslim.
Here's an analogy:
The Mafia requires non-Mafia members to pay protection money to safeguard their lives and businesses if they live in a Mafia-controlled area. They are exempt if they become Mafia members. Once they become Mafia members, they are killed if they try to renounce the Mafia and quit being Mafia members.
Kill a billion of them and get some sleep
A "head tax"? Meaning you pay a tax to keep your head?
Someone needs to ask those Islamic scholars specifially about that one.
Hey I got three.
Know why??
Didn't want four.
Sounds like ACLU lawyers giving counsel to the muslims?
Ruh roh......we're dooooommmed! Can we just squash them like the cockroaches they are and get this over with?
If every conservative Christian had three or more kids the world would be better off for a variety of reasons.
I think everyone is sick of these idiots.
They have rioted one too many times.
WHO is going to feed, dress, house, and send all of those "extra" kids......YOU?
How many children do YOU have?

Poll: Sinking Perceptions Of Islam
(IN) Although Americans believe they are better informed about Islam than they were five years ago, a new CBS News poll finds fewer than one in five say their impression of the religion is favorable. Forty-five percent of respondents said they have an unfavorable view of Islam, a rise from 36 percent in February. Americans today are also more likely than not to believe that Islam encourages violence, at least in comparison to other religions around the world. The poll finds 46 percent of Americans believe Islam encourages violence more than other religions, compared with 39 percent of Americans who felt that way two months ago. The last few months have seen escalating sectarian violence... http://www.thepath.fm/news/newsitem.cfm?id=17759
Why?
Sounds like good ol' fashioned common sense to me.
