The Abu Hafs Brigades who claimed responsibilty for the two London bombing attacks published a fresh warning Monday, July 25 on their internet web site.
'After London, it is now Rome's turn.' An earlier warning by the same group gave Denmark, the Netherlands and the UK and Italy until August 15 to pull their soliders out of Iraq.
The Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was warned that by failing to withdraw Italian coalition troops from Iraq, he would 'by his own hand turn Rome into a graveyard.'
The statement threatens the Italian capital with harsher and more painful strikes than the London attacks.
'As long as a single Italian soldier remains in Italy, you the prime minister can look forward to nothing but 'more and more blood.'

You should come with me to Georgia next spring in fact. You can hardly imagine the experience of being so hugely a majority of faith in a country (90% Orthodox) and watching the rare muslim here or there being so small and unimportant.
It's a wonderful healing experience. Icons in stores, taxi drivers crossing themselves, Christianity is out of the closet in Georgia and expected, mainstream. Policemen pass a church and stop to cross themselves and bow. It's just incredible to experience.
I kept thinking, this is what it should be like. Church is everywhere. You're at church, but you're not, where ever you go.
At some point many are going to hear the words "I never knew you".
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again...
Poland has troops with us in Iraq.
SOME intel sources think Poland's on the short-list, too.
Arrogant?
Maybe. But the usual term is "chutzpah."
Another term for DDP's "observation" that 'the Jews don't matter to the Pope' is: hogwash. WHINY hogwash.
France is a Catholic-In-Name-Only country, and has been since around 1940.
I apologize...my last post might have been a little over-the-top.
Know what you're talking about before you accuse someone of being a bigot.
Muzzies, now them I despise. No doubt there.
Let's not forget that the most important appearance and message(s) of the Blessed Virgin took place in a town named for the daughter of Mohammad. That didn't happen by accident. Her Immaculate Heart will triumph in the end...
Don't worry. Nothing will happen to the Vatican. But even something did happen, the Church would walk away mostly unharmed.
Don't you mean all of the world?
Sounds like they aren't exactly expecting the Spanish Inquisition!

Everytime I read this stuff it is depressing me. My vacation is in Italy in September and I hate having to have this "crap" in the back of my mind and, thus, taking away from some of my vacation enjoyment.
"Arrogant?
Maybe. But the usual term is "chutzpah." "
Yes, and other well-worn cliches about Jews appearing in other posts on this thread, such as "overly-sensitive," "whiny," "hidden-agendas," etc., etc. Couldn't you guys come up with some ORIGINAL stereotypes - these have been floating around since the Dark Ages. Your posts would be SO much more interesting.
You get the riposte you deserve.
"You get the riposte you deserve."
Excellent - that proves my point better than I could ("The Jews deserved what they got.")
