Pope Benedict XVI has been targeted by the Mujahideen's Army movement in Iraq for a suicide attack, according to the Jerusalem Post.

The threat — revenge for the Pope's recent comments about Islam and jihad — was posted on a Web site used by rebel movements in Iraq. A message posted by the Mujahideen's Army said members of the organization would "smash the crosses in the house of the dog from Rome."

European religious and political leaders have backed the Pope in the wake of the Muslim protests over his academic lecture at Regensburg University Tuesday, saying the Pope's words had been misinterpreted.

"Rather than criticizing Islam, the Pope is actually offering it a helping hand by suggesting that it do away with the cycle of violence," Father Samir K. Samir, one of the Vatican's leading experts on Islam, wrote in the Catholic newspaper Asia News.

The Pope's academic lecture "was trying to show how Western society — including the Church — has become secularized by removing from the concept of Reason its spiritual dimension and origins which are in God," Samir stated.

This is a great way to win friends.

If anyone ever wanted to know the definition of irony, this has to be it.

"smash the crosses in the house of the dog from Rome."

When is enough going to be enough?

[TommyDale]

Oops, left off the /sarcasm tag, in case someone thinks I was actually serious. These radical murdering terrorists need to be nuked. Give them their wish and send them all to their "heaven" where they can burn forever.

Just when you thought the Islamists couldn't get any more charming.

I WILL KIIILL YOU for pointin out I am violent.

[areafiftyone]

I am truly scared for the Holy Father's life!

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

Wonder how long it will be before the left starts bleating about the Pope being more understanding and multi-cultural?

Oh ... nevermind.

Dhimmi's all!

[tcostell]

Killing the Pope for the glory of Allah.....

Careful losers... Jihad goes both ways.

[Quilla]

Terrorists in Iraq, who'da thunk it?

[LIConFem]

"We are NOT violent, murderous people! Take that back, or we'll kill you!!"

*sigh*

[jpl]

Time for the Papal Swiss Guard to be heavily armed and well-prepared!

[WV Mountain Mama]

I think we can also properly define insanity as well. We keep saying sorry to the muslims, hoping they will make nice with us and it NEVER works. Yet, the powers that be keep doing it, telling us how peaceful they are, blah, blah, blah... barf.

[NurdlyPeon]

What a surprise.

[areafiftyone]

Not only there he will be targeted everywhere he goes. These people are out for blood. They already threatened to kill him in Turkey, Somalia, Pakistan and other muslim countries.

[nonliberal]

Religion of peace.

Behind the funny uniforms and halberds, they're well trained, highly motivated light infantry with modern weapons and equipment. There are only about 150 of them ...

All this about suicide attack and Pope threats are not needed. All that the Pope has to do is to convert to Islam, and this can all be averted.

... oh, and after that, all that the Pope has to do to avert this is to then convert the rest of the world's Christians to Islam.

[the invisib1e hand]

Catholicism = Reason; Islam = Insanity.

Not exaggerating.
