A HARDLINE cleric linked to Somalia's powerful Islamist movement has called for Muslims to "hunt down" and kill Pope Benedict XVI for his controversial comments about Islam.
Sheikh Abubukar Hassan Malin urged Muslims to find the pontiff and punish him for insulting the Prophet Mohammed and Allah in a speech that he said was as offensive as author Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses.
"We urge you Muslims wherever you are to hunt down the Pope for his barbaric statements as you have pursued Salman Rushdie, the enemy of Allah who offended our religion," he said in Friday evening prayers.
"Whoever offends our Prophet Mohammed should be killed on the spot by the nearest Muslim," Malin, a prominent cleric in the Somali capital, told worshippers at a mosque in southern Mogadishu.
"We call on all Islamic Communities across the world to take revenge on the baseless critic called the pope," he said.
Reached by telephone on Saturday, Malin confirmed making the remarks that were echoed in less strident form by other senior clerics in the Supreme Islamic Council of Somalia (SICS).
Another SICS executive member, Sheikh Ahmed Abdullahi, vented similar anger at the pope's "barbarous criticism" but stopped short of calling for his murder.
"He must apologise because he has offended the most honorable person who ever lived in the world," Abdullahi said.
The German-born leader of the Roman Catholic Church has been condemned in the Muslim world for comments he made at a Tuesday lecture, in which he implicitly denounced links between Islam and violence, particularly with reference to jihad, or "holy war."
The pope also quoted a 14th-century Byzantine emperor who said innovations introduced by the Prophet Mohammed were "evil and inhuman."
Somalia, a Horn of Africa nation of some 10 million mainly moderate Muslims, has been wracked by instability for the past 16 years but has recently seen the rise of fundamentalist Islamists who seized the capital in June.

Revelation 13 [Context] [Commentary]
9. If any man hath an ear, let him hear. Si quis habet aurem, audiat.
10. If any man [is] for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. Qui in captivitatem duxerit, in captivitatem vadet : qui in gladio occiderit, oportet eum gladio occidi. Hic est patientia, et fides sanctorum.
Jerome is poetry, pure poetry.
We can either teach them about Democracy and help them thru their inward-examination of their Religion and their culture. (just like Christianity. We started during the Reformation and have continued til now.)
....or we have to put to death every member of the Muslim faith in the world.
The world is not a big enough place to put up with a part of it that would kill anyone who disagrees with them or says a joke about them etc.
...or we can all die and allow them to inherit the world.
Something that would not sit well with any (ANY) people who love Freedom.

Ok, the firewall was the issue. I finally got it to work by using the other link Michael provided. Thanks to you both for the help.
Even though it's not funny, I almost had to laugh at the childish artwork. It reminds me of a kid that is ticked at someone and they want to make their picture look really ugly.
Moronic!
Correct. Everyone needs to remember these important facts.
They become a Theme Park
My ancestors were thrown out of bell towers by French Catholics but I assure you that killing the Pope would be just as wrong.
If ONE hair on the Pope's head is harmed, ther will be OPEN warfare thru-out the world....OPEN. If they try to bomb the Vatican, that too will be OPEN warfare.
Kinda proves what the Pope said correct . . . don't it?
A perfect description of the koran!
shoot the little pr*ck
Bizarre. But maybe this is the way to convince the ones who doubt.

Let may get this straight, Muslim religious leaders call for the Pope's DEATH and no outrage. Benedict speaks the truth (and doesn't toe the ROP line) and sets off the thin skinned Worldwide Jihadists and their ally, the NY Times. Shocker, the NY Times and the Jihadists demand an apology. I'm so surprised. After several staged and very predictable violent ROP protests (for the benefit of the Jihadis Western enablers i.e. Socialists, CNN, BBC, Reuters...) we knew how the limp wristed Jihad enablers would react.
No need for the POPE to apologize. However, this Somali 'Cleric' should.
