Thanks for posting. If you get a chance, go to Michelle Malkin's website and The Jawa Report to check for updates on the cartoon jihad.

Violent attacks on Christian clergy are virtually unheard of in Turkey in modern years, which takes pride in its recent history as a meeting place of different cultures and religions, despite having killed or driven off most of them decades ago.

They're Just Like us. Really.

Except insane.

I love when religion imposes its peaceful dogma upon the world through bloodshed. It is the height of hypocrisy and absurdity.

Speaking of absurd, I love your name.

"The gunman's motive was unclear. Turkey is overwhelmingly Muslim and has only a tiny Christian population."

The latter sentence explains the former. ROP my ass.

Maybe the kid's a Catholic the priest sexually abused as a child; who knows? But all this 'Har-de-har ROP' business is a little premature.

Turkey is overwhelmingly Muslim and has only a tiny Christian population....

....Ever since the muslims invaded and slaughtered the Christians who had been there since the time of Christ.

Even the President was warned to be sensitive towards Muslims, even 'tho they castigate him with words and drawings; think Isreal has no place in their world nor do Christians.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim civil rights group, says President Bush should avoid using "loaded and imprecise terminology" when he refers to Islam in his State of the Union address.

In a letter to President Bush, CAIR Board Chairman Parvez Ahmed suggested that the president be careful to "avoid the use of hot-button terms such as 'Islamo-fascism,' 'militant jihadism,' 'Islamic radicalism,' or 'totalitarian Islamic empire'" in his Tuesday night speech.

Wow, now no Turkish embassy will be safe, the Turkish flag will be burned, and Turkish goods will be boycotted! Not really, that's only justified by cartoons.

Round up the usual suspects; Jamal, Abdullah, Mohammed....Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad...

And so the cartoon death toll has begun.

[Xargoth]

There is no evidence that the murder is connected with the Cartoon crisis. And also Trabzon as far as i know is a city where everyone is armed. A few days ago even two famous football player's car was shot 5 times each.. So it can even be mafia, don't judge with your prejudice over the current cartoon events...

Anyway, EU has acted very childish in this situation. They knew what kind of reaction there will be, they knew all the things Muslims will do. Yet, they still published the cartoon and defended it.

Then the question is; why did they chose to publish it, while they already knew the consequences. Muslims are generally uneducated, extremely sensitive and under threat of radical islamism.

Why would you do something that will help the radicals? Knowing the consequences...

Anyway, the Muslims to my knowledge have not yet published anything about Jesus Christ or anything associated yet. You should ask yourself why?

Why can we feel free to disrespect their beliefs, while they do not publish anything about ours but show different anger? Anger towards a flag, a newspaper, a government etc. but noting against things Christians accept Holy?

And to those who say "we should attack them like they do attack us", i am sorry but before the cartoon was published there were no problem. Now, West generally considers an attack physical. It is not the same with the East, the problem is Western Countries and citizens can not comprehend this.

They scratch the head thinking, "Why do they attack us? We didn't attack them!" Dead wrong, you were disrespectful and insulting. In eastern culture this is worse than punching someone in the face. I think i have made my point clear

One more proof that it's not safe to be a nonMooslim in a Mooslim country (and not safe to have Mooslims in your nonMooslim country).

Stop further Mooslim immigration to the U.S. and start deportations of any suspect Mooslims.

P.S.: If Condaleeza Rice or any other administration flak starts with the Religion of Peace lecture again, bring out the pies and rotten vegetables.

>>>>>>>Turkey is overwhelmingly Muslim and has only a tiny Christian population<<<<<<

After murdering and ethnically cleansing millions of Christians. This detail is something MSM prefers not to tell.
