Somali cleric urges muslims to kill Pope
September 16, 2006, 1 day, 7 hours and 22 minutes ago.
By Zimgreats. com
Johannesburg (AND) Sheikh Abubukar Hassan Malin, a muslim cleric in the Somali Islamic Courts has urged muslims to kill Pope Benedict XVI after the later made controversial comments about the Islamic faith.
Malin equated the latest controversial comments by the Roman Catholic Church Pope to Salman Rushdie's novel "The Satanic Verses". Rushdie was sentenced to death after the release of his book and has been living in hiding ever since.
Malin said the Pope had to be punished for insulting Prophet Mohammed (the Islamic faiths spiritual leader) and Allah.
"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," Malin was quoted in the local media as having said during his Friday prayers.
"Whoever offends our Prophet Mohammed should be killed on the spot by the nearest Muslim," added Malin whose Islamic Courts recently took over much of Somalia and introduced Sharia law.
The furore stems from the Popes comments at a lecture on Tuesday in which he denounced links between Islam and violence. The pope further quoted a 14th-century Byzantine emperor who said innovations introduced by the Prophet Mohammed were "evil and inhuman."
There was no immediate comment from Rome, where the Pointiff is based.

Everyone should take big stock in the fact that their taking offense isn't often our fault. They should be looking inward at the weaknesses in their religion. We can longer accommodate them.
This problem is rapidly becoming the elephant in the living room.

If the turds assassinate the Pope they will have it easier being skinned alive IMO.
Who's going to do
that dirty work?
A brute squad of specially trained cardinals and bishops?
It would be very un-Christ-like to avenge such an assassination.

Possibly true, but
avenging such an act is
very Catholic!

How about we return the favor and put a bounty on the head of this POS representative of the "religion of peace"?
I've had it with their intimidation - it's way past time WE put a little fear of God onto them.

I think the western world and especially the United States at some point will feel enough is enough and bury a whole bunch of them.
Until they have fear of the consequences of their actions, they will not stop killing and destroying others.

All true but there is one problem.....loony liberals have taken over the Democratic party and in their world perpetrators are made into victims, the end justifies the means, hypocrisy is a state of being and feelings always trump facts. Their PC bull will aid in all of US getting our throats slashed.

Loony liberals fail to realize that their throats will be the first to be slashed. They are too consumed with their hatred of the Right.

Well Mr. Moral Relativism, it isn't the Christians that are converting at the point of a sword. Just ask Steve Centani and his cameraman. As for killing their leaders...no problem there. I'd take out Muqtada Al Sadr and Ahmadinejadh myself for starters. But the number one for me is Al Zawari, then Bin Laden. Then in reference to invasion, no problem there either, because at least we don't subjugate the inhabitants. We leave it better than when we went in, which is more than can be said for the Muslims.
Check out Mussolini's speech of 1921 in which he states that moral relativism is the foundation of fascism.
You must love Rosie O'Dopeful.

"islamic 'culture' must be destroyed."
Agreed. islam must be destroyed, utterly. Some will argue that is too extreme; there are some "good" muslims.
I acknowledge that there are some (a rather small percentage) that may behave in a civilized manner, and indeed even help us a bit; but to say that the cult of islam itself is not the true enemy because of these few is ridiculous. One can argue that not all Nazis were evil also, but does anyone today not acknowledge that Nazism was/is evil? Anyone who pledges allegiance to the cult of mohammed (CPUH) can at some point decide to become more devout and should be considered a potential enemy.
Although I think she was being somewhat tongue-in-cheek, Ann Coulter's quip about "We should invade their countries, kill all of their leaders, and convert them all to Christianity." is probably still the most sure way to end this war once and for all.
Unless the word "islam" is regarded like Nazism as evil itself and renounced by the whole world, this war will never end.

Your picture of the battle. BTW, profanity in any form demeans the conversation.
