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.

Cannot be any clearer:
"We will smash the cross ... (you will have no choice but) Islam or death."

Is this a separate jihad from all the other jihads they have pronounced?

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, D'uh! What was 9/11 (among others)? They already declared jihad against the West. Maybe it takes a more "nuanced" mind than mine to grasp these fine distinctions.

That's right. The civilized world will never be defeated by Islamofascist savages alone. However, combine the efforts of the Islamofascists and the fifth-columnists like the French press and the New York Times, and we're in danger.

Okay. Let me get this straight.
In response to remarks by Pope Benedict XVI linking Islam with violence, al Qaeda says it will wage jihad.

Are these people entirely irony-deficient?
To: maryz
They don't really mean it...lashing out. Cuz their in poverty. N' stuff. Bush's fault. They just need affirmation. Dialogue would be nice. Halliburton. The CIA is controlling the weather over there. Except Israel. They get all the rain.

For them jihad's as central as reason is to us. I don't see how you can have a dialogue with those who want us dead.

See, this is what happens when you're not culturally sensitive. If the Pope had not made these statements, they wouldn't have said they'd kill him. He was rather far down the kill list, right next to Ronald McDonald. But now, sheesh, he's right up next to that girl who sticks her head out the window in the Wendy's commercial.
I'm sure that CAIR will have something nice to say about all of this...
