AN Iraqi armed group has threatened to carry out attacks against Rome and the Vatican in retaliation for Pope Benedict XVI's remarks on Islam, according to a statement posted on the internet today.
"We swear that we will destroy their cross in the heart of Rome ... and that their Vatican will be hit and wept over by the Pope," said Jaish al-Mujahideen (the Mujahideen's Army) in the statement, whose authenticity could not be confirmed.
The statement lashed out at "Zionised Christians and loathsome crusaders" and was accompanied by six films showing attacks against US military targets in Iraq, which it said were "dedicated to the dog of the crusaders (an apparent reference to the Pope) in retaliation for his remarks".
"We will not rest until your thrones and your crosses have been destroyed on your own territory," said the group, which has claimed many attacks against US and government forces in Iraq.

Get out the big can of RAID.
What concerns me is that the Vatican seems to be capitulating to these goons. They are issuing statements like "The Pope meant no offense."
Ya know what, if the Vatican doesn't stand it's ground they're going to come out of this the way they did after WWII when they didn't take a STRONG stand against the Holocaust. They need to grow a backbone and say, "Yeah, Islam IS evil and violent, and you morons are just proving the point!"
But I'm not gonna hold my breath.
This sums it it up!
Prayers up for the Holy Father and Rome. Muzzie really are homicidal maniacs.
You have lied that Islam is a violent religion, for this you must die! Your women will wail "Why, why did we think Islam was violent" as we rape and murder them. Your enslaved children will rue the day their infidel parents refused to accept Islam as the one true merciful religion.
A direct declaration of war against the Church.
BFD. So what else is new with the muzzies. That's their business--attacks, murders and rapes.
Can there be any lingering doubt that His Holiness spoke the truth?
RAID is right. The muslim killers in the ABC movie looked exactly like scurrying roaches in dust and dark alleys. No other animal came to mind - just roaches scurrying from light.
TROP indeed.
It is a "quote" that he read that engendered all this ruckus...
see Michelle Malkin for good coverage:

I'm no Catholic, but, such an event would strike so close to the essence of Christianity that the Muslims would certainly know what a "Crusade" is, and not mouth the empty word for propagandistic effect.
"A direct declaration of war against the Church."
Doesn't take much to get them excited...LOL
It seems they are either in a frenzy, or collecting virgins.
With nothing in between.
"Behead everyone except us Muslims....
....unless she wants an education... or unless he disagrees with Islam... or unless the innocent child can be used as a human shield... or unless the innocent's death could be used for political propaganda...."

If you want on (or off) this Catholic and Pro-Life ping list, let me know!
The Vatican would be about the worst possible place to attack.
As I've been saying, the bloodletting this century will make the wars of the 20th century look like Quaker church picnics.
We must release the hurt inner-child that is crying out for compassion. We need to become more sensitive to the needs of Islamic people, embrace them, hold their hands, wipe the tears from out of their eyes. . .just as you would your own child who has scrapped his knee and needs a Mommie to kiss his boo-boo and make it all better.
Wait a minute . . .BAAARRRRFFFFFFFFF. . .there, I feel better now.. .ate some of that bad spinach and had to purge it, quick!
