Whew. I was worried it might be those danged Lutherans again.

Perhaps they can build a bridge and reach out by allowing an islamic cultural center to be built at Vatican City.

Oh! Care to make a friendly wager on the outcome of the UConn/TU clash tomorrow? $10 donation to FR by the defeated party?

A little off-topic question. Why isn’t “pope” capitalized? Seems to me it should.

[Velveeta]

Threats ping.

[George from New England]

Why didn’t you capitalize Pope when you posted. You should know better.

[Cubs Fan]

I wonder if there will be as much world outrage over muslims trying to kill the worlds most prominent christian religious leader as there was over one american contemplating burning the koran?

NAH!

I am guessing that VRWCTexan simply copied and pasted the headline text from MSNBC. They (MSNBC) probably did not capitalize “Pope” according to some new left-wing, PC editorial rules.

Just looking for an excuse to post this picture. I love this guy.

I looked for it immediately too. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for pointing that out. The OP just repeated what MSNBC has as a headline.

Pray for the Pope Ping!

Police declined to say whether the men were British or give details of their ethnicity. However, the BBC reported the men were not British nationals. Sources told Sky News that the suspects were Algerian.

Well, now ...

They can't possibly be mohammedans, now can they?

Mohammedanism is a religion of peace.

Prayers for his safety (although he doesn’t need them — He has confidence in his salvation). It’s getting hard to imagine any religious or secular holiday anymore without the Muslims weighin in on them. So, how many Christians and Jews spoiled Ramadan for the Muslims in Europe and North America? How many Christians, Jews and Caucasions made death threats and disrupted the life of the faithful Muslim in the UK? Sadly, I realize there have been one or two individuals who have threatened and disrupted the holiday in the US, but one or two out of 300 Million hardly seems excessive.

“Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached”

The UK's Telegraph newspaper has no such restraint.

[ArrogantBustard]

Last time somebody prominent said that in public, the peaceful followers of Mohammed rioted ... just to prove him wrong.

[ArrogantBustard]

Kudos to the “Telegraph”.

School started; late summer/fall cruises; harvest time; many reasons why people are NOT setting up threads ~ plus, the biggest one of all, PRIMARY RACES.

You wait a month and it's the DELUGE.
