Al Qaeda vows jihad over Pope remarks

AL-QAEDA in Iraq has said in response to remarks by Pope Benedict XVI linking Islam with violence that it will wage jihad until the West is defeated, in a statement posted on the Internet today. "We say to the servant of the cross (the Pope): wait for defeat ... We say to infidels and tyrants: wait for what will afflict you. "We continue our jihad. We will not stop until the banner of unicity flies throughout the world," said the statement attributed to the Mujahideen consultative council. "We will smash the cross ... (you will have no choice but) Islam or death," the statement added, citing a hadith (saying of the Prophet Mohammed) promising Muslims they would "conquer Rome ... as they conquered Constantinople". Two other armed groups in Iraq, Jaish al-Mujahideen and Asaeb al-Iraq al-Jihadiya, have already threatened the Vatican with reprisals in statements posted on Islamist websites.

Makes me wonder if Ann Coulter wasn't right. Invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity.

Whoo-hoo. You wonder if they ever stop and look at themselves in a mirror.

I think they tried that for awhile, but the mirrors tended to shatter, so they stopped.

You are right on, the Pope's remarks are like chamber music compared to the insanity out of that tortured soul.

Amazing isn't it how it is we (US) have a dedicated piece of the most expensive real estate in this world, for the trouble makers of the world to come and stick their pointed fingers in our eye.

Did it cross your mind that the Pope might be a wee bit more cagey than we give him credit for, and he set this whole thing up, knowing that the "Religion of Peace" would threaten to murder every Christian in the whole world?

I thought of it. And he is probably one of the best academic minds to hold the title in centuries. I'm not sure we have anything in his past to indicate he operates quite that slyly. But his use of a quote by a Byzantine emperor (and not a Roman Catholic source) was a little clever, I think.

You speak the Truth my friend. Now we must face the real enemy and not some fictional representation of Islam presented by the multi-cultural world.

When someone declares war on you then it is wise to take that threat seriously, especially when accompanied by such radical threats.

The Free world talks about fascism vs faith and liberty.

AQ says, JIHAD!

The enlightened talk about reason.

AQ says; JIHAD!

The Pope talks about faith and reason.

AQ says; JIHAD!

Does anyone else see a pattern here?

That's why they call Muslim riots, "demonstrations."

Perhaps they need to declare Jihad on me as well for taking little pictures Mohamed and conducting toilet bombing runs on them.

Sometimes I even conduct liquid waste strafing runs when I get bored.
