Muslim Dances on the Central Altar of Florence's Cathedral
Atlas Shrugs ^ | 10/17/10 | Pamela Gellar

R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Muslim (from Somalia) jumps up on the alter of the Florence Cathedral and dances.

Where is the worldwide outrage? A fringe pastor tweets something stupid, and the world is set afire.

The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore is the cathedral church (Duomo) of Florence, Italy, begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to the design of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed structurally in 1436.

The cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Florence, whose archbishop is currently Giuseppe Betori.

On last Monday night a Muslim jumped up and danced on the altar of the Florence cathedral. Here are the exclusive pictures of the sensational incident Monday, 11 October morning in the Duomo of Florence. Check this video out. More news out of Italy here.

Nothing about this on the English language news wires as far as I can see. The guy was praying in Arabic as he danced.

Video at link in article.

Let him try that at St. Patrick's in NYC.

I'll administer the kerbing myself.

How DARE the bastard!

Of course, no worldwide outrage over this. After all, its only a Christian place of worship.

Very weird. And as someone said on the comments about the YouTube video, his dancing sucks, too.

Judging by the commentary in the Italian news report, this seems to be causing quite a stir in Italy, but I haven’t heard anything about it here in the US (except on FR, of course!).

Much worse than burning a Koran, so what would the Muslims do if it were one of their places of worship?

The reaction is what I would expect from a nation and a culture where actual Christians are a very small minority with little real influence. Much of Europe is no longer Christian. America isn’t all that far behind in this. We have many who profess to be Christian but few who will act to defend their faith forcefully. The lady who went after an insulting pornographic depiction of Christ out in Colorado is one such. So naturally she will be roundly criticized for her “extremism” and use of “violence”.

The mooslim must be a “moderate”. He didn’t defecate up there.

Trying to “get along” with idiots like this dancing fool is a waste of time.

If he didn't blow up the place, he's a moderate.

Of course, this might only be a dry run...

Anytime I clap my hands a stupid genie called the American ambassador appears to do my bidding. When the Americans die in my service their bodies are frozen in metal boxes by the US Embassy and American airplanes carry them away, as if they never existed. Truly, America is my favorite slave."

There are many of us who are simmering just below the threshold level.

Try the same thing at a Mosque in Saudi Arabia and see how quick your dead.

If he had burned every Bible in the world. If he burned every man, woman, and child in Florence the Palestinians would have danced in the streets.

And Obama would would have gone on the TV and debased himself to the Arab world begging for forgiveness. What have we evil white people done to make them hate us so much?

While disrespectful...I’m certainly not going to call for his beheading or burn cars. Jesus and God don’t live in an Altar.

There are relics of a Saint in that altar.

I dont call for his beheading , but opening a can of Whoop-ass on him would not be inappropriate.

I'd say that security was a little slow on the uptake in this cathedral.
