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.

Islam doesn't just convert by the sword, it also appears to convert by inflicting a thousand tiny pin pricks.
I suspect there is much more method to their madness than we realize.
Watch the screaming Muslims (all men by the way - women aren't allowed in public) all over the world denouncing the pope for speaking the truth about Islam. Interesting that they are hollering the same phrases as when they cut off innocent journalists' heads. Nuts.
That is the question.
This is a very significant point. In this case, furthermore, the effectiveness of their "pin pricks" is vastly magnified by the media.
The fact that the Pope's criticism affects them, discredits their beliefs entirely and only is another example that they are not "religious".
I also find it ironic that, except for Angela Merkel, no other Western leader has defended the Pope.
This is the second time I've had to do this tonight.
You don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Read David Dalin's book A Righteous Gentile ... that's Rabbi David Dalin, BTW. Then come back and tell me the Vatican didn't take a STRONG stand against the Holocaust.
It's really sad when FReepers swallow every d--n lie perpetrated by the left and the MSM.
