Gazan Muslims Form Group to Attack Christian Targets 23:03 Sep 19, '06 / 26 Elul 5766 by Ezra HaLevi
Muslims in Hamas-controlled Gaza have formed an ad hoc terrorist group promising to attack Christian targets to avenge the Pope’s choice of a quotation insinuating that Islam is prone to violence.
The group, which calls itself the “Army of guidance,” sent an announcement to news agencies based in Gaza saying that “every place relevant to Christians will be a target until the cursed infidel – the Vatican – apologizes to Muslims.”
Hardline Islamic groups were offended by the Pope’s citing of a Byzantine emperor who criticized Islam’s founder Mohammad’s command to spread Islamic faith by the sword.
Last Friday, the 1,400 year old St. Perfidious Greek Orthodox church in Gaza was among seven Christian targets burned or vandalized throughout PA-controlled areas.
Pope Benedict XVI has refused to apologize for merely citing quotations, but said he was “deeply sorry” for the Muslim reaction to the words – which he stressed do not constitute his own opinion.
Though touted as an apology by the Vatican’s own public relations team, Islamic leaders continue to demand submission from the leader of Catholicism.
The chief Islamic Mufti of Jerusalem Mohammed Hussein called the Pope’s statement of sorrow insufficient and demanded a “clear apology” Tuesday. He condemned attacks on churches but insisted the Pope himself is responsible for the Muslim violence.

Never saw this one coming. /s
"Muslims in Hamas-controlled Gaza have formed an ad hoc terrorist group promising to attack Christian targets to avenge the Pope’s choice of a quotation insinuating that Islam is prone to violence."
Ironic knee-slapper of the week.
Better switch to decaf soon.....
If I don't apologize for calling you violent, you will kill me... right... Got it.
How many ways/times is he suppose to apologize.
They're using this as nothing but an excuse to carry on their holy war.
Do these people not see the irony of their actions? Are they really that blind? Or are they simply dishonest? I vote for dishonest.
yeah sure Mamood..you mean you didn't see the apology?
It's in that brick building over there.........

Oh, brother!
One would think these guys would be embarrassed by such cowardly statements, but they just don't seem to get it.
Sounds good to me...
And they continue to use violence to prove how non-violent they are.
I know this is beating a dead horse, preaching to the choir etc., but FReepers apparently have to beat and preach as the msm never points out just how really irrational muzzies are.
"Not if I kill you first, scumbag."
Maybe it's time Christians start living by the old testament again?
This is blatant discrimination? Is Target Catholic or something? Shouldn't Christian Wal-Marts and Christian Kohl's receive their share of the blame?
Honestly, this whole thing would be one huge SNL skit if it weren't for the fact that actual property is being destroyed and actual people are being killed. Doesn't Islam know how stupid they look?
Shalom.
Oh, I get it. Islam ... submission ...
That's a good one.
Shalom.
This medieval ideology masquerading as a religion is the most intolerant, coercive, violent, barbaric set of ideas and practices that evil men have ever invented.
