She is imitating a British naval hostage. Look for her communique on how nicely she is being treated and how good the food is.

The Pope will visit the tomb of John the Baptist at the Ummayad Mosque in Damascus
Syria-Vatican, Politics, 3/7/2001

The secretary of the Patriarchy of the Catholic- Greek Church Ezedour Bateikha on Monday said that John Paul II will visit, during his visit to Damascus the tomb of Saint John the Baptist inside the mosque, and therefore he will be the first Pope to enter a mosque.

I hope the next 2 years are the high water mark for moonbats in power.

I would be offended if a muslim would would visit a cathetral and started to kneel down toward Mecca and started to pray to Allah

“she thinks it’s a mirror”

I don’t believe vampires can see themselves in mirrors. She is a blood sucking dem, isn’t she?

Some info on the Omayyad Mosque:

Sheltered inside the mosque is the small chapel and shrine of John the Baptist (Prophet Yahia to the Muslims) where tradition holds that the head of John is buried. One legend says that when the church was demolished, his head was found underneath, complete with skin and hair. This head is believed by some to possess magical powers and continues to be the focus of the Mandaeans' annual pilgrimage, when they press their foreheads against the metal grill of the shrine and reportedly experience prophetic visions.

In 2001 Pope John Paul II visited the mosque, primarily to visit the relics of John the Baptist. It was the first time a pope paid a visit to a mosque.

Why is John the Baptist buried in a Mosque in Damascus?

Because he was beheaded?

No, because he is dead.

YOU owe me some screener.

[massgopguy]

His head is in Rome.

The most important question is why is Nancy Pelosi making the sign of the cross. Given her views she should not be allowed any where near anything catholic.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

That would be a pretty bold action to take.

Why? Is it your house?

Paid for by all her non-union employees.

Not exactly a moustache!

[thinking]

yes...I was thinking along the same lines....I have concluded that women, rather like the Muslim rule, numerous, western women, have converted, and appear to enjoy “dressing” for the role, much the same as Queen Nancy....

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Just pointing out, traitors can be brave (and personally wouldn’t go so far as this being a sign of bravery—too strong a word—but “bold” or “gutsy” could be used).

Just her standard check:

“Is the body of John the Baptist ... inside a mosque?”

I would expect his tomb to be in the hands of orthodox or catholic?
What’s the whole story here?

I personally would make the sign of the cross there too.
