If they'll attack the White House and the Pentagon, they'll attack the Vatican.
Even if the Muslims would do nothing, (like that is going to happen) Europe belongs to the Muslims in the future due to falling birth rate of native Europeans. Two Schools in United Kingdom closes due to Falling Birth Rate)
ZENIT - The World Seen From Rome -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Code: ZE05072505 Date: 2005-07-25 Terrorists Not Attacking Christians, Assures Pope INTROD, Italy, JULY 25, 2005 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI said that he wouldn't label the recent wave of terrorist attacks that hit London, Turkey and Egypt as acts against Christianity. Journalists asked the Holy Father today, after a meeting with priests, religious and deacons of the Diocese of Val d'Aosta, where is on vacation, if the attacks could be considered "bombs against Christianity." "I think that on the whole they are responding to a more general intention, and are not specifically against Christianity," he said. Asked if Islam can be regarded as a "religion of peace," Benedict XVI responded: "I wouldn't like to generalize. It certainly has elements that could make peace prevail; it also has other elements." "We must always try to identify the best elements," he said.
Now, look at the context in which the Pope made his remarks. Reporters asked the Pope if the recent attacks should be viewed as attacks on Christians. Its obvious the Pope's remarks citing Turkey, Egypt and London were in response to this question. Not surprisingly, in answering a question concerning attacks on Christians he DID NOT mention Israel. Since the attacks in Israel, I'm sure we all agree, are attacks on Jews.
You bigots have taken remarks made by the Pope in response to a reporter's question and twisted them out of context.
Moreover, it appears the Israeli Foreign Ministry has chosen to do the same.

Muslimes: touch Rome, we torch Mecca, Medina, Islambada, Cairo, Baghdad, Ankara, Riyadh, Karachi, Jakarta, Tripoli, Sa'na, Marakesh, Tunis, Teheran, Khartoum, etc.
Romans under Vespasian in 69 AD, when Christianity itself was but a group within Judaism. you want to accuse the Roman Catholic Church for work done by it's oppressors?
Good luck with that. You will never get the mid-evil war you speak of. You will get the "well this is what you get for pissing them off with Iraq" speech however.

That would be a serious mistake on the Islamonazi's part.
1.2 billion of us.
You're an idiot, the Pope has been a more staunch friend to Israel than almost any other nation on earth.
Marry me.
Should say "world leader," not "nation."
We wish.
Prayers for the Italian government to stand firm as well as the Vatican and Pope Benedict XVI.
I was pretty sure it was over one billion. I didn't want to throw a larger number out there and have the anti-Catholic hit squad come out firing.
In other words, you suggest plowing every nation of historical muslim ancestry?
August 15th is the Solemnity of the Assumption.
