Hee Hee. No casting of pearls before swine, dear narses!
I hope you never have to say that as one of their hostages.
Benedict XVI is set to visit Turkey in November, for those looking to descry omens, heres one thats not terribly encouraging: A potboiler novel currently on bestseller lists in Turkey titled Papaya suikast (Attack on the Pope) predicts that Benedict will be assassinated.
Written by novelist Yücel Kaya, the book is subtitled, Who will kill Benedict XVI in Istanbul?
I am really afraid of that visit.
Interesting violent reaction proving the comment is more-or-less true.
And every violent Islamic act will continue to prove it to be true. Which is why the comment, quoted by the Pope and predictably responded to with violence by radical Muslims, is so incredibly brilliant. I wonder if he recalled the quote himself, or someone else brought it to his attention.
'Zactly!
"Could you provide any citations?"
No, I do not go hunt for citations when someone can Google or crack any basic encylopedia or history of Switzerland.
This would presumably work for you.
