The motive of the attack remains unknown.

Do they have the F.B.I. Office of Public Affairs working over THERE, too????

[hellinahandcart]

That was my first thought, too. Nuns in a hospital need bodyguards. What a country.

FoxNews Alert:

FoxNews reported that the Nun was shot in the back.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yes, and that was precisely the inferential center of the Pope's address at the University in Germany the other day.

And the actions of the evildoers are proving him correct in less than 48 hours.

That which is not of God, i.e, evil, is not of reason nor can it be reasoned with.

The only demand of the fanatics is that we become Muslim. There are no other 'negotiating points' than this. It is we enroll under the Crescent Moon and Star Society, or we be shot down like this nun in Africa.

Oh Dear God. I just saw this on TV (Fox News). This is terrible.

What barbarians...

[MadIvan]

See post 20. She was shot 3 times in the back. The nun was in her 70's.

The terrorists show once more they pick on the weak, the vulnerable, the very young and the very old. They're evil and must be destroyed.

[Kakaze]

They have no value for life, none.

They are simply incompatable with civilization.

It's good to see you back Mad Ivan, the place feels a little more like home with you here:)

[tiredoflaundry]

I fear for the safety of the Holy Father.

Ivan, glad to see you again. I have missed you!

This was also reported on Sky News; this is merely the first report on the internet.

Fox News just had this on.  It happened in Somali.  So sad.

Don't tell me that Catholics are going to be blown away now............

[TomGuy]

The attackers shot the nun three times in the back

News agencies will probably appeasingly alter that in the back part when CAIR and other Islamic groups start their whining about the terminology.

[AmericanInTokyo]

We are at war with ISLAMOFACISM. The point is no longer open to debate or submissive politically correct handcuffs.

The New York Times cannot tell me otherwise.

The offended C.A.I.R. types in the US can shove it.

Nobody can tell me I don't see what I am seeing with my own two eyes. Millions of Americans can see it too.

The cut and run Democrats, positioning themselves before a fatigued and impatient American electorate, will not like it when the Americans actually wake up and realize what is at stake and that the Democrat approach of cut and run will only hasten our own Western demise.

[MadIvan]

This story, in all its ugliness, needs to be screamed from one end of the globe to another. It merely proves what Manuel II Paleologus said was absolutely correct.

The Islamic world apparently has no sense of irony.

The Pope did not apologize further in his Sunday remarks.

"...I am deeply sorry for the reactions in some countries to a few passages of my address at the University of Regensburg, which were considered offensive to the sensibility of Muslims," he told pilgrims at his Castelgandolfo summer residence.

"These in fact were a quotation from a medieval text, which do not in any way express my personal thought. I hope this serves to appease hearts and to clarify the true meaning of my address, which in its totality was and is an invitation to frank and sincere dialogue, with mutual respect," he said.

[TomGuy]

This sign pretty much summarizes Islam for the rest of the world. They are deadly serious.

[Zeon Cowboy]

Those filthy bastards. What repulsive beings. They may not be the ones personally committing these atrocities but they are just as evil.

[Kakaze]

" Don't tell me that Catholics are going to be blown away now............"

We are no different than anyone else who rejects the bastards cult.

Theres only one way this is goig to end, and thats with the elimination of islam and the removal from the gene pool of it's most rabid followers.

[spectre]

Good to see you again, Ivan..

Shooting a nun in the back is monstrous indeed. It's shocking.
