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.

I'm not Catholic, my Lutheran ancestors got chased out of Switzerland by Catholics, but, that being said, if they touch the Pope, I have my own jihad in mind.

When is the civilized world going to wake up and stop kissing the rags a$$es? If the Pope is harmed by these low lifes the crap will really hit the fan. The rags are making a huge mistake on this one.

It's about time someone did. I lost any hope of anyone in our government doing it a long time ago.

Don't they realise that every individual in the whole world is entirely free to NOT like, admire or follow Mohammed.

Uh, no they don't. Neither do they accept that.

Don't forget, in recent years, Mohammadans have tried to kill a Pope at least twice. Though the communists secret services, including the KGB, were behind the failed assassination of Pope John Paul II, it was a Turk who was the hitman. Ramzi Yousef (probably with funding from bin Laden) tried to assassinate the same Pope in 1995 in the Philippines.

Somali Cleric Calls for Pope's Death

This headline I can believe.

A headline I could never believe would be: Pope Calls for Somali Cleric's Death.

And therein lies the difference between Islam and normalcy.

Thank you for trying Sandy, but it failed again. All I see is a blank frame.

Which part of tolerance does that come under?

Which section of the Religion of Peace covers that?

These muslims show their true color --- red --- for the blood of others they spill.

How much more blood of innocents will soak into the earth before our Western civilization wakes up to what we are facing?

The mohammedans are one major atrocity away from getting the global war they apparently are champing at the bit for.

Don't hold your breath. We are a long way off from the (western) world actually understanding what they are dealing with.

A vast majority of the world is still in the "appeasement" phase

I don't think michellemalkin.com allows hotlinks. You should be able to see it individually via one of the links I posted.
