Somali Cleric Calls for Pope's Death
The Age ^ | 9/17/06

Posted on 09/16/2006 1:19:13 PM PDT by bnelson44

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.

Islam will cause it's own extinction.

The ONLY reason they can get away with such cr@p is the whole world has been way to tolerant of them.

I think they are ending themselves.

To liberals fanatical murdering terrorist muslims are moderate. They just do not get it and never will, until they are forced to worship Allah and give up their freedoms or forced to their knees for beheading, at which point they will scream for help from US forces. Liberals are just as dangerous as the terrorists because they support them by making excuses for their behavior and glossing over what they do, while they condem and scrutinize everything our military and government does.

Wow! What a way to counter those who claim that you are violent.

"The Pope dares to say the we Muslims are violent! Kill him!!!"

LOL it's just too easy to parody. And it would be purely humorous if it wasn't so dangerous.

Libs hate Christianity, which is why they hated Bush from day 1. In their little minds, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Therefore, they are rooting for the Muzzies against all Christians.

Since the pope is German, Germany would then commit massive amounts of forces to fight radical islam. The Italians would then vote out their leftist government and commit more forces and the french, well they would run away like usual.

There was a rock star a few years ago who was pretty much out of control when he took his substances, which was all the time. One night he was so out of control he took even more to stabilize and in that he was successful. Completely stable, forever. Whatever substance this cult is on, they are going for maximum eternal stability.
