They're always mad about something. Just a matter of "what is it now?"

How do you really know that they are protesting the Pope? They act like this nearly every day.

[Pope learned a life lesson that day.]

I would think that the Vatican knew there was a possibility that the gift of the Bible might be rejected. IMHO, a great PR opportunity for the Pope to display the truth.

We certainly haven't seen Muslims protests on this scale against their own extremists, who purportedly give Islam 'a bad name'. They can threaten death to anyone deemed an infidel, but they can't handle words or cartoons with any hint of criticism. It sends the message that words are sacred, and human life is expendable.

These demonstrators have half the equation correct: It is OK to voice your opinion in demonstrations. The other half of the equation they still have not got: Kill someone who does not voice the party line. They better bone up on some arithmetic or they will be left in the 7th Century on the ash heap of history.

Actually, I think this is what happened:

http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2001/119/34.0.html

[In Syria's capital, Damascus, Pope John Paul made similar efforts to build bridges by reaching out to Muslims and their leaders. After exchanging gifts with Mufti Kuftaro—a picture of the Virgin Mary for the Islamic leader, a Koran for the Pope—John Paul said in a speech to dozens of Syrian Christian and Islamic leaders and scholars: "For all the times that Muslims and Christians have offended one another, we need to seek forgiveness.]

Looks like they are stomping on a big bag of Mohammad to me.

I think I'm gonna open a custom sign shop in the downtown capitol of one those loser-ass Ayatollah contries.

They seem to have signs ready for every possible occasion, often in English. It seems to be a very lucrative marketplace.

One very flexible sign could read:

"(Insert any object, person, organization, nation here) is the disease. Islam is the cure."


I wonder if they make their protest signs locally or if those jobs have already been outsourced.

And how do the media keep getting advanced warning about all these effigy burnings anyways? They must have somebody on the 'inside.'

Anyone know the fair market value of a Jihadist Protest Sign these days?

Yes, you focused on the most important point. All these signs are in English.
They want to effect American and European positions because if they control the will of the citizens then military efforts against radical Islam would fail.

Why does anyone bother to pay attention to these guys. After the first few times that they riot it's old news. Let them riot and act crazy. Who cares anymore if they are angry. I don't.

These people in this pic don't look angry, they look like they're tailgating outside of Lambeau field.
