Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Lebanon today and urged peace at a time of great turmoil in the Middle East. The trip will take the pope to the nation with the largest percentage of Christians in the Middle East nearly 40 percent of Lebanons 4 million people, with Maronite Catholics the largest sect.
Violence broke out in Tripoli as Pope Benedict arrived. Hundreds of protesters set alight a Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Hardees restaurant in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli on Friday, witnesses said, chanting against the popes visit to Lebanon and shouting anti-U.S. slogans.
Hurry on down to Hardee’s where the Americans are charcoal broiled!
If anything happens to the Pope, then the Lebanese Christians will restart the Civil War.
It’s hard for me to see Pope Benedict as a fan of fast food, so I think they’re really wasting their time.
You betcha - big time.
Are we sure these were Islamic terrorists and not just NYC Mayor Bloomberg on another food crusade?
How sad, the little mohamad’s will have no where to get their bacon cheeseburgers.
” The trip will take the pope to the nation with the largest percentage of Christians in the Middle East nearly 40 percent of Lebanons 4 million people, with Maronite Catholics the largest sect.”
Once upon a time, the overhwelming majority of Lebanese were Christians - like about 30 years ago.
They thought they could co-exist with Muslims.
Once upon a time, about 1000 years ago, the majority of Egyptians were Coptic Christians. Them too.
Get it?
Hardees?
Where will they get their Steak Biscuts?
...and just like the scumbags who rioted in LA they’ll claim it’s racism when nobody wants to rebuild....
Oh what a world we live in... used to love the old gut bangers at Hardee’s, not served in Tripoli but.. sad that the local loonies don’t realize who actually makes a meager living at a place like that and who it affects most.
I just watched the video...it was great. Thank you.
The violence was just 40 miles away in Tripoli - Pope Benedict has a lot more spine than obama. :)
Refried chicken. Definitely multicultural.
What about their Bacon Bacon Biscuits?
“...pigmeat is what I crave...Yes, suh!”
