Al Qaeda threat over pope speech
CNN ^ | September 18, 2006

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- An al-Qaeda-linked extremist group warned Pope Benedict XVI on Monday that he and the West were "doomed," as protesters returned to the streets across the Muslim world to demand more of an apology from the pontiff for his remarks about Islam and violence.

The Mujahedeen Shura Council, an umbrella organization of Sunni Arab extremist groups that includes al-Qaeda in Iraq, issued a statement on a Web forum vowing to continue its holy war against the West. The authenticity of the statement could not be independently verified.

The group said Muslims would be victorious and addressed the pope as "the worshipper of the cross" saying "you and the West are doomed as you can see from the defeat in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and elsewhere. ... We will break up the cross, spill the liquor and impose head tax, then the only thing acceptable is a conversion (to Islam) or (killed by) the sword."

Keep repeating to yourself, "Islam is a religion of peace" . . .

Everyone is so afraid to say anything against the Muslims. Thank goodness someone has the leadership to call the Muslims on all the violence. I am worried for the safety of the Pope. When will the world realize that War has been declared on all of us by the Muslims?

I don't think the mullahs realize that if one of their followers gets the Pope, a "Final Solution" to the islamic problem will make a quantum leap nearer to reality.

This is not a religion. It is a murderous ideology that calls itself a religion in order to get the PROTECTIONS that the USA gives to religions!

I can't even imagine what the reaction would be if Muslims assassinated the Pope.

The term that a redneck would use in this case is "high octane"...ifing a dim Muslim fella felt a serious case of loser status, and desperately wanted his entire clan of members to reach heaven just a wee bit earlier...he might take an opportunity to take down the Pope. But seeing as how the mighty KGB couldn't even do it right...an open-faced type of hit job...would make the Jews situation in 1936 in Germany to appear to be minor league in nature. But then, we aren't exactly dealing with rocket scientists here...the Muslim leadership is amongst the least intelligent folks that exist in the world today. If I were Muslim and living in Europe...I'd go ahead and find some suitcases, and prepare for a hasty exit.

I am suspecting it will be a lot of light and heat, followed by a lot of glass.

"If you say that we are violent and convert people through violent means, we will kill you if you don't convert!
We are not violent! We kill anyone who calls us violent!"
I hope that more Americans see the truth about these people and DEMAND that the borders be closed to them.

The reaction of the church would be to pray, bury Benedict, and elect a new pope. I doubt that the new pope would be very sympathetic to the muslim cause.

What individual Christians, catholic & non-catholic, would do is anyone's guess. It won't make the muzzies any friends.

If it happened before the November election, it would be a disaster for the Democrats.

We are getting close to the times when the west IMO will be bombing cities instead of Radical Islamic military targets.
The west can allow only so much of this.

It is ONLY because we allow it that they can be enabled to get away with going after the Pope or anyone else.

It is a religion of shi'ite. Why else is the countryside dotted with small wooden buildings, adorned with crescents? Any one of them could be the seat of this new "caliphate" Allahu fubar!

I hope that when all those members of the Mujahedeen Shura Council die and get to heaven to meet and be with their 72 VIRGINS, that the VIRGINS turn out to all be HORNY, MALE, HOMOSEXUAL CAMELS.....
