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.

They take everything literally. Islam as a closed system has no room for self-criticism or analytical reflection. The tiniest doubt expressed about their prophet or their holy book is enough to set them off on a murderous rampage.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus

[Playing 'Troll du jour'. Kinda fun!]

Freepers: always looking for a simple solution for a complex problem. Of course they're angry! Don't you realize what the French say about us? Try being a little more sensitive to the needs of...serial killers. (this is not so easy)

[river rat]

If there are any "Moderate Muslims" in the world, they had better get a handle on these assholes in their midst, claiming THEY represent Islam, or suffer the consequences...

There won't be time for us to sort good from bad when the time comes to destroy these Jihad fighting lunatics..

Everyone near them will die...
Allah will have to sort for himself...

Semper Fi

[Just mythoughts]

These French do have a history of escalation... and the NYTimes seem to be their North American counterpart.

[Right Wing Assault]

We were going to kill all of you anyway, but now we are REALLY going to kill you.

What will they do if we get them more angry? REALLY, REALLY kill us?

In the news today, al-Qaeda has announced that they will REALLY, REALLY, REALLY going to kill us.

[Bluebird Singing]

We will smash the cross . . . (you will have no coice but) Islam or death." hmmmmm

Pray tell, how will/do our godless liberals respond to this? The Christians must stop inciting the muslims . . . smash the cross!

From 2005, before the Pope ever said a peep...

[justa-hairyape]

Has anyone heard Allah complaining about the Popes remarks ? Perhaps he thinks they were accurate.

[shalom aleichem]

Exactly. The headline is misleading. All they say is we will *continue* to try to smash you. Islam or die.

[Cyclops08]

AQ has a group of terrorists, but they are scattered, not really an army.
If AQ really wants to do this, they will need to change their ways.
When enemy soldiers arrive, AQ has to actually fight them, and resist the training to run away.

Terrorist tactics are a coward's tactics.
Actual jihad means real live war with people shooting back.
--I don't think AQ is up to this challenge.

[backtothestreets]

This would be little more than more of the same trash al Qaeda rhetoric if not for the fact governments of Islamic nations are setting the tone.

The world just isn't big enough for Islam and any other religion. They've got to go.

Imagine, if you will, what the Moozies would do to the West, if only they could get their hands on our arsenal. .....Makes one think HARD about the footsie game we keep playing with the devil.

[skimask]

We need to understand their cultural differences. Set up a dialog with them. Invite them into our houses. Have them read the Koran to us. Then torture them and cut off their heads.

[Dimez Apart]

Well put. These guys give the best motivational speechs for the West. If only the West would start listening. Historically, the Pope called for the Crusades, yes? This Pope seems alittle more springy then John Paul. Wouldn't it be grand to see something along those lines? (Pipe dream, I know)

[yankeedame]

Are these people entirely irony-deficient?

LOL! Touché!

[dasboot]

Yeah, but:

Like, the commies think that by lending a hand to these most useful and dangerous of idiots, they can split the world, built upon the ashes of Jewish/Christian Enlightenment, Capitalism, and Western Civilization, in general, between the two of them...and each gets what they want. (in theory)

Then the commies ruthlessly try to kill the Brownshirt Muslims, while the Muslims work hard at devouring the body of the hand that 'fed' them.

It's that combination, born of hatred of a common enemy [reasonable blokes, like us], that makes the world very dangerous for folks who like bass fishin' BBQ, and Travis pickin' on the back porch, I reckon.

[wildcatf4f3]

so does this mean its no longer the religion of peace? Do these people understand the meaning of the word irony? I think we should kill them for being so boring and literal.

I can't get Travis to come over to my house. :)
