An attack on the Vatican would be a serious mistake on the part of the islamderthals. Even in secular europe it holds a great deal of significance.

In today's enviroment, it was the Pope's responsibility to begin a dialogue with Islam.....

Unfortunately, no matter what he states the radical element will claim foul....

These animals have been waiting on the sidelines waiting for this moment to exploit.....

It's part of their plan to escalate this into a fully religious war....

Accordingly, a real attack on the Vatican is imminent.

Muslims across the globe have been outraged and a hardline cleric linked to Somalia's powerful Islamist movement has called for Muslims to "hunt down" and kill the Pope, while an armed Iraqi group has threatened to carry out attacks against Rome and the Vatican.

That would be a very unwise thing to do.

Let us pray for our Pontiff, Pope Benedict XVI:
The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon earth, and delier him not up to the will of his enemies.
Follow with Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

This is all I have at the moment; just crossed the wire in the past 5-10 minutes. BTW, Ynet is usually a reliable source.

And thus the Pontiff's point is proven...

I'm not Catholic. But if they attack the Vatican I'll gladly volunteer to drive a Buick full of TNT straight into Mecca next time those bastards get together there.

An attack on the vatican would rile American Catholics even if some may disagree with the Pope. It has done nothing to harm anyone for a very long time.

Maybe the Pope's remarks will end up being what finally opens the eyes of complacent, appeasement-minded Westerners.

His point is being proven.
