Rome - The head of the Roman Catholic Church in Turkey, killed last week by his driver, was decapitated in a "ritual Muslim sacrifice," the head of a missionary news agency said on Tuesday.
After the murder of Luigi Padovese, the driver reportedly shouted from the roof of the victim's house that he had killed the "great Satan," adding Allah akbar ("God Is Great"), a Turkish journalist told AsiaNews.
The news agency for overseas missionaries said Padovese "was stabbed in his home, and managed to leave his home to ask for help," AsiaNews director Bernardo Cervellera told Italy's Sky TG24 all-news television channel.
Vatican spokesperson Federico Lombardi, contacted by the religious news agency I-media, said he was awaiting clarification of the reports but would neither deny nor confirm them.
Turkish news reports said the 26-year-old alleged killer, Murat Altun, had been released from a psychiatric ward a few days before the murder.
He told police he had had a "divine revelation," the reports said.
Local authorities have ruled out a political motive in the killing, and Altun's lawyer and mother both said he had psychological problems.
The 63-year-old Italian bishop, Vicar Apostolic of Anatolia since 2004, was killed at his summer house in a Mediterranean seaside town near Iskenderun, close to the Syrian border in southern Turkey.
Pope Benedict XVI said shortly after the murder that it was "certainly not a political or religious murder but rather a personal affair".
......and the Mayor and City Fathers are going to allow a Mosque to be built where?
The religion of peace. How long until Americans who are also known as “The Great Satan” start being beheaded?
Not too long say about 5 to 10 years.
Daniel Pearl (October 10, 1963 – February 1, 2002) was an American journalist who was kidnapped and murdered by Militant Islamic terrorists. At the time of his kidnapping, Pearl served as the South Asia Bureau Chief of the Wall Street Journal, and was based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. He went to Pakistan as part of an investigation into the alleged links between Richard Reid (the "shoe bomber") and Al-Qaeda. He was subsequently beheaded by his captors.
What spirtual war?
Pray for America
You know, there’s a world wide need for parking lots.
Too, we need to do strategic weapons integration tests...
How foolish.
Sura (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…"
Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"
Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
Sura (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah"
Moslems are unfit fof civilization, or civilized exchanges.
What a few dupes call ‘good’ Muslims, real Muslims call heretics.
A vile cult.
The last large human sacrifice cult.
Allah (aka Satan) demanded another bloody sacrifice. It should be clear to anyone that this is a bloody satanic death cult.
“Pope Benedict XVI said shortly after the murder that it was “certainly not a political or religious murder but rather a personal affair”.
How foolish.

‘Fool’ was my initial thought as well.
Notice.... no screeching protests in the streets to condemn this.
If the mosque does get built, I'd love to see NYC get one of these studies done, with an emphasis on beheadings:
San Francisco Crime, Mapped in 3-D
But he does choose to expound on our healthcare legislation, immigration policy, our war with the Islamics, Israel's war with the Islamics.....
Things are becoming very clear, which is a good thing in the end.
It is good to know whom you can count on in a battle.
Where do they find these journalists? That’s one really misleading headline!
Yep. When I read that, pardon me but I thought “WTF?”. The Pope shouldn’t have said anything at all instead of making such an obvious politically correct comment. What ever happened to calling a spade a spade? It’s obvious this was an act of jihad or whatever BS these people believe in.
It will happen. Will DoD wake up then?
