THE Pope has been told to wear a bulletproof vest during next week’s Easter celebrations.
The CIA and European security chiefs warned the Vatican of a “concrete threat” against him.
He was also advised to limit his outdoor appearances during Holy Week.
Italian MEP Mario Borghezio said there were several threats from “some extreme Muslims”.
The Pope’s spokesman played down the threats.

That's a real title, but it makes no sense at all. It should read assasination warning, or something similar.

Perhaps a more accurate headline would read "Islamofacist warning for Pope".
Gun, bomb, lead pipe or rope - they are all inanimate objects until activitation by an evil doer.

The threat of assassination is also real for the Dali Lama who travels with Ninjitsu trained bodyguards.
Preaching peace can become very dangerous.

I would like to put out an advance warning to the anticatholic freaks that show up from time to time. If the Pope is a victim of islamic terrorism - you better think before you open your mouth.

It's been tried before. Didn't work then, I doubt it will work now.
I don't think anyone who tries this could comprehend what would happen.

Bump for this good and decent man, who already has taken a bullet to help to defeat communism.

So if the Islamists kill the Pope, what will the world do about it? Anything? Blame Bush.
