Islamic militants denounce Pope, threaten Rome
CWN ^ | 4/15/2008

Posted on 04/15/2008 3:20:52 PM PDT by markomalley

Rome, Apr. 15, 2008 (CWNews.com) - Representatives of the Al Qaida network have renewed their attacks on Pope Benedict XVI, in a message posted on the Islamic miliant web site al Hesbah.

The latest message from Al Qaida expresses continuing anger at Pope Benedict, who was denounced by the terrorist network in March for leading a worldwide "crusade" against Islam.

The message from Al Qaida also decried the electoral victory of Italy's former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, whose People of Liberty party won a solid victory in national elections. (In a bid to end Italy's "birth dearth," Berlusconi's coalition has announced plans to provide parents with a bonus of €1,000-- about $1,575-- at the birth of each baby.)

In related news, a Palestinian Islamic leader predicted that Muslims would conquer Rome, in a sermon broadcast on the Al Aqsa television network controlled by the Hamas movement. Yunis al Astal described Rome as "the Crusader capital," but assured listeners that "Rome will be conquered, just as Constantinople was conquered."

Yeah, it’s because the Pope issued another fatwah. Damn his violent nature.

More about the “stuck in the middle ages” crowd. Of course they don't like the Pope, OR the win of a Conservative in Italy!

Nothing like a little tolerance from the “religion of peace.”

Bet Jimmeh Carter is proud too! He is an supporter of Hammas.

Yunis al Astal described Rome as "the Crusader capital," but assured listeners that "Rome will be conquered, just as Constantinople was conquered."

Admitting thereby that Islam was spread by the Sword, and that it took Christian lands by force of arms. Yet let the Jews take a little Arab land, in self defense after being attacked by Jordan and Egypt in 1967, that's cause for International condemnation and Jihad.

Maybe it is time for another Crusade, or a little game of Cowbys and Jihadies?

The proper authoritys had better pay attention..
Since "the Attack" could be the easyist attack to perform..
And the result on western culture would be immense..

Most protestants could care less but the effect on RCC and EO cultures would be massive..

Unfortunately, they are correct because neither Europe nor POTUS H. Clinton will defend Italy from ultimate invasion.

Farakahn and the Nation of Islam are there right along with them. The NOI, the BLT, and the NBPP are all joined at the hip.

Yes it would and ir would result in a massive strike of Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBM)on key muslim sites, terrorist hideouts and hostile population centers.

This is a war of civilizations we are engaged in. It is Judeo-Christian Western Civilization against the islamic hordes. Islam itself is the most barbaric religion on the face of the earth and they won’t stop their fascist rampage until they are destroyed. Islam must be defeated on the battlefield. Its about time we take Tom Tancredo’s advice and nuke their little “holy land” if they ever attack American soil again.

I say the Pope should declare a Holy War of his own. If its the middle ages the islamo-fascists want then its the middle ages their gonna get.

Really to which country?.. You might want to rethink your scenario.. It would take several nuke strikes for anything like that to happen.. UNLESS they stuck MOSCOW.. which it wouldnt since Moscow/China is finagleing most of it already..

Global liberals(leftists) are using the Muslims like a rented donkey..

I kind of think that’s why they selected this german to be pope. Germany is the heart of the matter with respect to recognizing and addressing a growing problem in Europe. Selecting this Pope is putting Germany on a guilt trip. Popes are selected for their special expertise in whatever challenge currently faces the west. The last Pope was installed to bring faith back to eastern europe and then see what happens. He did a very nice job indeed. This Pope is the warrior Pope IMHO.

We have four new SSGN/SSBNs (Ohio class conversions: USS Ohio, USS Michigan, USS Georgia and USS Louisiana) which carry about 160 Tomahawk cruise missiles each. We don’t have to go thermonuclear to deliver massive devastating conventional strikes anywhere. Each one of these littoral missiles is like a 2,000 lb bomb.

Fact: In 1499 Constantinople fell due to the indifference of Western Europe.

Fact: In 1840 the Otoman Empire was no more, forced to capitulate. The world enjoyed a little bit over 100 years of peace from Islam.

Another fact: If Rome is to fall as well it will also be due to the indifference of the same Western Europe.

Clearly 600 centuries is not enough for the world to learn history and clearly Western Europe is continuing to miss the point.

I must beg to differ. Donkeys are perfectly respectable animals, and they were good enough for Jesus.

If we have another Crusade ...

1) Let's keep our focus on the real enemy this time.
2) Let's finish the job.
