The head of Australia's 5.1 million-strong Catholic church went as far as to say that violent reaction "justified one of Pope Benedict's main fears" about Islam. Cardinal George Pell said this showed "the link for many Islamists between religion and violence, their refusal to respond to criticism with rational arguments, but only with demonstrations, threats and actual violence."
Local Muslims called Pell's comments "unhelpful."
Unhelpful? I thought they were very helpful.

They lay claim to America as this country, in some rural areas, has small wooden buildings, with what are presumably Islamic crescents on them. Allahu fubar!

I'm lousy at satire, humor, and sarcasm, so I'm going to enter a lifelike portrait of the unholy prophet mohamMAD (pork be upon him) instead:
Many thanks to the artist, Tatiana Soskin

Very nice.
Here's mine: I apologize to you butchers of Islamofascism for letting you know in advance, only, of my intent to nab and/or kill you before you can slaughter me and those around me.

You know the old cliche when someone would ask you something obvious and you'd reply, "Is the Pope Catholic?" Well, the new response to stupid questions should be "Are Muslims violent?"
Sorry; couldn't resist.

They are never satisfied. Give them an inch and they want a mile.

I'd love to see the Pope (and his proxies) simply refuse to say another word on the subject. Go right on to whatever his next topic is, just as if nothing happened.That is what needs to be done. It is the only way.

This is absolutely Monty Python's material. How ridiculous is this? Don't say I'm violent or I'll kill you!
Reading about their crazy behavior is becoming a joke.
To: AmericanArchConservative
Good point.
To: wideawake
"I hereby declare that the Muslims are big crybabies whining about nothing and that the pope should demand an apology from them."
Right on, wideawake!
