The Vatican’s semiofficial newspaper blasted a series of cartoons of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad as “blasphemous” but also condemned the “mad and bloodthirsty” extremists who opened fire at a Texas exhibit of the cartoons.
The front-page article in L’Osservatore Romano likened the exhibit in Garland, Texas, to pouring “gasoline on the fire” of religious sensitivities and was critical of its sponsors, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, and professional provocateur Pamela Geller.
Police on Sunday (May 3) shot and killed two gunmen who opened fire outside the exhibit that was designed to provoke Muslim sensitivities; the so-called Islamic State has since claimed responsibility for the attack that injured a security guard, and promised more to come.

Dear Francis,
nevermind....
Time to post the “pope on a rope” image
Why did the Muslims start the fire?
The Pope is now appeasing muzzie terrorists. Is there ANY Godly virtue he will stand up for?
Yeah.
Takes real courage to do that. Go ahead. Post the "Pope on a Rope".
That Romans will say it's not nice, and pray for your conversion.
Now ...
Post your "Mohammed on a Rope" pictures.
I dare you.
(After the Charlie Hebdo attacks, Pope Francis condemned the idea of killing “in God’s name” but warned that “you cannot provoke, you cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.”)
In free societies, and using our God-given free will, yes we can.
” Pope Francis condemned the idea of killing “in God’s name” but warned that “you cannot provoke, you cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.””
Says WHO? And why NOT ?
When the “faith of others” promotes the rape of little girls, and slitting of throats, we will say whatever the heck we want to say, dearest Pope!
Insulting a pedophile who isn't even mentioned in the Bible is blasphemous against Christianity now, according to he who defecates in national forests.
Time for the weekly “Get stuffed!” response to the Pope.

The Christians and Yazidis in the ME are not being slaughtered because artistic expression.
I find Diesel fuel works better, considering fire is one of the best ways to get rid of garbage
Where in the hell was the pope (or any past pope) that condemned the ENDLESS parade of insulting mockery of Christianity by hollywood, music, comedians, politicans, etc.??
Don’t hurt your eyes trying to find it!
Yea me too,I am about as fed up with him.
Now we shouldn't provoke Hitler, he might just invade someone or something.
On the other hand, why not provoke them into attacking and weed them out while we are still powerful and they are relatively weak? Now is the best time to fight this fight.
Franklin Graham also; a pox on both houses.
Wrong again, Pope.
