Islamic militants denounce Pope, threaten Rome
CWN ^ | 4/15/2008

Rome, Apr. 15, 2008 (CWNews.com) - Representatives of the Al Qaida network have renewed their attacks on Pope Benedict XVI, in a message posted on the Islamic miliant web site al Hesbah.

The latest message from Al Qaida expresses continuing anger at Pope Benedict, who was denounced by the terrorist network in March for leading a worldwide "crusade" against Islam.

The message from Al Qaida also decried the electoral victory of Italy's former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, whose People of Liberty party won a solid victory in national elections. (In a bid to end Italy's "birth dearth," Berlusconi's coalition has announced plans to provide parents with a bonus of €1,000-- about $1,575-- at the birth of each baby.)

In related news, a Palestinian Islamic leader predicted that Muslims would conquer Rome, in a sermon broadcast on the Al Aqsa television network controlled by the Hamas movement. Yunis al Astal described Rome as "the Crusader capital," but assured listeners that "Rome will be conquered, just as Constantinople was conquered."

Yeah, it’s because the Pope issued another fatwah. Damn his violent nature.

More about the “stuck in the middle ages” crowd. Of course they don't like the Pope, OR the win of a Conservative in Italy!

Nothing like a little tolerance from the “religion of peace.”

Bet Jimmeh Carter is proud too! He is an supporter of Hammas.

Yunis al Astal described Rome as "the Crusader capital," but assured listeners that "Rome will be conquered, just as Constantinople was conquered."

Admitting thereby that Islam was spread by the Sword, and that it took Christian lands by force of arms. Yet let the Jews take a little Arab land, in self defense after being attacked by Jordan and Egypt in 1967, that's cause for International condemnation and Jihad.

Maybe it is time for another Crusade, or a little game of Cowbys and Jihadies?

The proper authoritys had better pay attention..
Since "the Attack" could be the easyist attack to perform..
And the result on western culture would be immense..

Most protestants could care less but the effect on RCC and EO cultures would be massive..

"Islamic militants denounce Pope, threaten Rome"

A classic example of "overreach!"

Unfortunately, they are correct because neither Europe nor POTUS H. Clinton will defend Italy from ultimate invasion.

Farakahn and the Nation of Islam are there right along with them. The NOI, the BLT, and the NBPP are all joined at the hip.

“And the result on western culture would be immense..”

Yes it would and ir would result in a massive strike of Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBM)on key muslim sites, terrorist hideouts and hostile population centers.

What’s the BLT? Bacon, lettuce and tomatoes?
