This is just the beginning.

No doubt is was actually the Jews who did it.

Paging Mehmet Ali Agha.

I suppose these idiots can't see that they're proving the Pope correct?

[Brilliant]

They are assuming that he won't make such statements in the future, though.

More peaceful protests from the Religion of Pieces.

Christians in the Middle East are on the way to extinction. What good are they when they grovel in front of Islamofascists like dhimmis? What Muslims see are Christians unwilling to die for their beliefs.

(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )

So, I guess the Pope was wrong... these Muslims are perfectly peaceful... harmless little Islamic fuzzballs...

Problem is the Churches don't burn down easily. Whereas a mosque with go up in seconds because they are used as weapons caches for any muslim with a gripe.

In a wonderful display of Reconciliation, the Pope visited him in his jail cell and forgave him. How many Muslim clerics or Immams have done that?

[Dallas59]

But it's ok for the Muslims to say anything and back it up with bombings and beheadings...while we Non-Muslims fear insulting Islam...

[Cicero]

Relations between Palestinian Muslims and Christians are generally peaceful

And AP says that with a straight face. Sure, they're peaceful, except when the Muslims feel like throwing a few bombs or beheading a few Christians. But it's the Christians' fault for being so uppity, no doubt.

[Dutch Boy]

The are completely blind to the fact they are acting like spoiled little brats that whine when someone looks at them too long. This type of muslim is playing the offended card a little too much these days. In a few year they will have so complete desensitized the world to their whimpering that even if someone is attacking them for real, no one will care.

[Marysecretary]

The religion of peace is at it again, just proving that what the Pope read was the absolute truth! These people...

They wouldn't be alive long enough for a Imman to visit them

"Five churches attacked in Palestinian territories (Muslims go ballistic over Pope's comment)"

Why oh why can't Muslims keep their crazies under control?

[muawiyah]

Trick is the Pope didn't say anything that should offend any Moslem.

They generate their indignation internally and run off wildly in every direction.

Now if the Pope had responded to the nutcase in Iran by tellng him it was "Time to come to Jesus", some response on their part might be justified ~ I would, of course, suggest intense fear.

Not too late for the Pope to send that message.

[ncountylee]

These vermin are sub-human. There are way too many mosques in the world but doubt that any will be harmed unless the Pope is actually hurt.

He won't have to. They made his point!
