Palestinian firefighters extinguish flames at the entrance to a Catholic church hit by a firebomb in the West Bank city of Nablus, Saturday Sept.16 2006. Palestinians wielding guns, firebombs and lighter fluid attacked four churches in the West Bank town of Nablus on Saturday, while gunmen opened fire at a fifth in Gaza, following remarks by Pope Benedict XVI that many Muslims view as disparaging.

This is just the beginning.

Paging Mehmet Ali Agha.

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

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.

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.

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...

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.

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

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

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.

There is no reason to burn our churches,'' he said.

mooslims don't need a reason to bomb a church. Just ask the Serbs of Kosovo. They especially like to burn on March 17th........................the rotten bastards burned 35 orthodox churches and killed scores in a 2 day pogrom called 'Kristallnacht'

Relations between Palestinian Muslims and Christians are generally peaceful, and the attacks on the churches sparked concern that tensions would heighten.



I think that is leftist talk to say that those dirty rotten Christians may get mad and even retaliate instead of taking in on the cheek.

I think what the Pope said was right on money. However, like it or not, we have to be prepared to see more incidents like this in the future.

It comes to a question whether Christians--especially those who live in Islamic countries--ready to go to war, or at least see their churches attacked.

I expect Liberal & Islamic media will play "the consequences of Pope's speech" again and again that many people including Christians will start to think whether it was wise for Pope Benedict to say so.

Now, they have a new slogan: It's Pope's fault!

It's called stepping it up.
First there was the Koran that a magazine reported to have been used for toilet paper, resulting in riots from Pakistan around the world.
Then came this Swedish caricature when masses went wild, but the western media learned to shut up, and now it's the Pope.
The rest of the world keeps getting more and increasingly silent with the end result that leads into a blackout for whatever these "unselfish" murderers, killers take upon themselves to kill or destroy.
Final stage: Islamists won and are free to kill, suppress, rule and to Islam-convert as they please.
