Quick round up of the Papal intifada from IRIS;
Muslims are now attacking churches and Christians worldwide, under the pretext that they were offended by remarks made by the Pope. Actually attacks on Christians and churches occur continually, but this week is different in that they are actually being reported.
For example, on September 9, a YMCA was torched in the Palestinian city of Qalqilya by Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists and a Nexis search 4 days later found zero references to the attack in the mainstream media. Similarly, zero reports of the murder of a convert to Christianity on September 7. The death penalty for converts is consonant with all normative Muslim Law (sharia), despite the MSM's repeated downplaying of its significance.

Via Wuzzadem, check out the Islamic Rage-ometer:
Islamists at Westminster Cathedral
Worshippers coming out of services at Londons Westminster Cathedral today were greeted by a gang of Islamists, reports Joee Blogs - a Catholic Londoner.
I'd wager not one, not one, of the masked morons read what the Pope actually said. Of course if they did read it, they wouldn't understand it.
link: 491 comments "This wasn't a blunder, this was an intentional gambit made by someone who understands a clash of civilizations exisits. Millions of Catholics have probably never heard of the Danish cartoons. But they notice when someone threatens their Pope." Never mind the Pope. Whatever you do, don't make fun of you know who's you know what.

One of the most vilified people on the internet right now is Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs. It is the only website that I will check at least twice a day. Charles has been called a racist, a bigot, and much worse. He is personally threatened daily. Charles is attacked personally, and with a viciousness rare even among the most vicious out there, because there really is no other defense against the arguments that LGF makes, many times a day, than to attack the man.
But Charles Johnson is not the issue. I could counter with the fact that I have met him several times; he is, like Steven Den Beste, an extraordinarily gracious, soft-spoken and gentle man. None of this matters.
What does matter is what Little Green Footballs does on a daily basis. Charles Johnson does not sit down and write five essays a day on why he thinks Radical Islam is a deranged and poisonous and growing Death Cult. Charles simply links to newspaper articles, usually from Arab and Islamist sources like Arab News and Reuters, that show without question that Radical Islam is calling, daily and nightly, for the destruction of the West, the murder, enslavement or conversion of its citizens, and the establishment of a world-wide Caliphate where Shariah - Islamic Law - is the only law.
This is not his opinion. This is not the opinion of Western editorial writers. This is a filter (and of course its a filter - thats why it is useful) that looks at Islamist thinking and behavior daily and shows what Islamists are saying and doing in their own words.
I and many others view Little Green Footballs as the equivalent of the Cold Wars D.E.W. Line - the Distant Early Warning radar system that searched the Polar skies, looking for incoming threats. This is why Charles is attacked personally. He is attacked personally in an attempt to discredit him and his website because the fact remains that almost everything he links to are articles by Islamists, about Radical Islam - and what they say in their own words is so totally compelling, damning, and downright blood curdling that anyone not seeing the danger brewing does not deserve to be part of this argument.
THE AGENDA OF ISLAM - A WAR BETWEEN CIVILIZATIONS
The Pope must die, says Muslim --Right on schedule!
The following is a description (slightly modified) from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat. www.frontline.org.za/books_videos/sti.htm
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness.
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs [Europe, Australia, USA and Japan]. Six percent of US prison inmates are Muslim. Like any other minority, they wont integrate, but work to build their own separate community.
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. South Africa's Muslim population is 2%, but they control 35% of the businesses, a large percentage of the banks and have five Cabinet seats while Christians (77% of the population) have none.
They will push for the introduction of halaal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves (along with threats for failure to comply).
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia; Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world, but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. (Ei: car-burnings in France last October.) Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats.
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning (India, Mindanao, Philippines).
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare [Indonesia].
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya (infidel tax). (Sudan, Kosovo, Lebanon and Egypt).
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide [Western Papua (New Guinea), Iran, Biafra, Turkey and North Nigeria].
100% will usher in the peace of "Dar-es-Salaam" - House of Peace - as in Saudi Arabia, Libya and Yemen.
