Iraq al-Qaida Says Pope, West Are Doomed
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 9/19/06 | Anna Johnson

Posted on 09/18/2006 10:54:20 PM PDT by XR7

An al-Qaida-linked extremist group warned Pope Benedict XVI on Monday that he and the West were "doomed," as protesters raged 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-Qaida 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."

Islam forbids drinking alcohol and requires non-Muslims to pay a head tax to safeguard their lives if conquered by Muslims. They are exempt if they convert to Islam.

In Indian-controlled Kashmir, meanwhile, shops, businesses and schools shut down in response to a strike call by the head of a hard-line Muslim separatist leader to denounce Benedict. For the third day running, people burned tires and shouted "Down with the pope."

Protests also broke out in Iraq, where angry demonstrators burned an effigy of the pope in Basra, and in Indonesia, where more than 100 people rallied in front of the heavily guarded Vatican Embassy in Jakarta, waving banners that said the "Pope is building religion on hatred."

The pope...cited the words of a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of Islam's Prophet Muhammad as "evil and inhuman" and referred to spreading Islam "by the sword."

Well, I guess that will teach the Pope to be more specific in his comments - ie. Islam teaches terrorism. Then at least we could have a dialog regarding that rather than "kill the opposition". Seems their only response is violence whenever something is said that they disagree with - typical response of barbarians.

Should I duck!

I'm pretty sure this isn't authentic. According to news reports I've seen, these Muslim "activists" only resort to violence in self defense and if we imperialistic Americans (and our butcherous Jewish friends) would just LEAVE THEM ALONE they'd only be too happy to live their lives in peace and harmony with their non-Muslim neighbors.

On March 9, 1945, a date that few Americans living today have ever heard about, U.S. bombers killed 100,000 Japanese in Tokyo in a single night of fire-bombing.

If Islamist radicals ever succeed in igniting the rage of America the way the Japanese did, radical Islam will be preached only in Hell.

"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."

Their intent is clear, as they so state. I really think the time has come to extirpate ALL Muslims from our country, close our borders and get ready to defend ourselves. To hell with all this PC crap, lets just end it now! Our politician's will continue to chant the mantra that "Islam is a religion of peace, Islam is a religion of peace"....ad nauseum. We need to vote them out of office asap.

We better wake up soon and put a quick end to all this horses**t. There is no question that they want to kill us, period. If I hear Bush say that Islam is a religion of peace one more time I'm going to set the new hurling distance record by blowing chunks 100+ feet.

Stop staying at their motels, stop buying gas from Muslim owned gas stations and mini-marts. Yank all their visa's and give them one week to get out of our country.

The war is on, folks. Unfortunately, half of America seems to think that they'll just go away and all will be back to normal. Ain't gonna happen. They must be driven from our shores starting tomorrow.

rant over........for now......

I'm actually glad these maniacs have put this so bluntly. Obviously, the hard-core libs are too deeply enmeshed in their fantasy of BUSH AS ENEMY to pay attention ... but perhaps now those who have been on the fence, or who are just too busy with their own lives to pay the attention they should to matters of this sort, will get the message:

If people tell you they intend to kill you, you should listen. Most of the time they mean it.
