MOGADISHU, Sept 17 (Reuters) - Gunmen killed an Italian nun at a children's hospital in Mogadishu on Sunday in an attack that drew immediate speculation of links to Muslim anger over the Pope's recent remarks on Islam.

Another great story of tolerance and love from our islamic friends. Stories like these abound because the Pope said the only thing mohammed brought new to the world was violence and evil. I guess his point has been proved by those who would like us to hide our heads in the sand and believe otherwise. Too bad we behave just so most of the time, appeasers and enablers. Of course the first post after this will be "you can't smear the whole religion because of the actions of a few bad apples" Too bad, you don't kill nun's and hack peoples heads off to prove to me you aren't violent. Anybody see a disconnect there?

Either way. Somehow the pope will get blamed for muslim violence. Just watch.


"The Italian nun was the latest in a list of foreign aid workers and other international staff to be killed in Somalia."
 
Al Qaeda vows jihad over Pope remarks

"We say to the servant of the cross (the Pope): wait for defeat ... We say to infidels and tyrants: wait for what will afflict you.

"We continue our jihad. We will not stop until the banner of unicity flies throughout the world," said the statement attributed to the Mujahideen consultative council.

"We will smash the cross ... (you will have no choice but) Islam or death," the statement added, citing a hadith (saying of the Prophet Mohammed) promising Muslims they would "conquer Rome ... as they conquered Constantinople".

The Pope is right. Islam is nothing but an excuse for killing by thugs. Their actions have convinced me that Islam is a false religion.

The Pope didn't say that. If anything he said the opposite.

I read the Pope's speech. He was, spot on, about everything.
 
I would like to take some you back to what's happening in America and not a Italian citizen in Somali.

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. -- A woman in Colorado was dragged to death earlier this week.

And now, authorities said they have arrested a suspect. Jose Luis Rubi-Nava, 36, of Glendale, Colo., was arrested on a charge of first-degree murder and was being held without bail in the Douglas County jail, Sheriff Dave Weaver said. http://www.kptv.com/news/9894086/detail.html

I realize some of you will be upset at being pulled away from the Somali story but murder also happens here right in the USA--I'm sure your outraged at this terrible tortursome terrifying murder. In fact some Jihadists use this torture-murder technique also. :2wave:
 
I'm not a fan of Bill O-Reilly, the TV guy, but I ran across a piece on his show the other night that was funny...and SCARY! He was talking to the President of the U.S. Muslim League (or something) and asked, "As an Infidel, and in light of what is going on with the Pope, can I talk about THIS without getting assassinated, beheaded, or otherwise killed?" He then went down a whole list of topics of discussion/comments, like 'The message of the Islamic Extremists today are contradictory to the teachings in the Qur'an and are, therefore, wrong."

The 'Pres.' said you and the Pope can talk about anything you want to ...but in the end he said it would be better for us 'Infidels' to avoid talking publicly about faith, Muslims, Islamic Extremism, etc - just about anything that might offend them and make them decide to behead/kill you! So, we can only accept their religeon, only be converted to Muslim, only talk about what THEY believe is the truth, etc or we are fair game to kill around the world!? NUNs are being killed around the world - anyone speaking out or in any way connected to anyone who speaks out - are being murdered! :shock: :roll:

Meanwhile, we have these guys making statements:

Hugo Chavez, Venezuelan leader before the U.N.:
http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/09/20/D8K8ME700.html

"The devil came here yesterday," Chavez said, referring to Bush's address Tuesday. "He came here talking as if he were the owner of the world."
...accused Washington of "domination, exploitation and pillage of peoples of the world."


"We appeal to the people of the United States and the world to halt this threat, which is like a sword hanging over our head," he said
-- This threat, meaning the threat of the United States coming to the aid of the people being murdered, tortured, and beheaded for believing anything differently than the Muslim Extremists and who are 'guilty' of speaking their mind and being free to worship/believe in something different!


Or Iran's President:
http://theunlikelychristian.blogspot.com/2006/08/mahmoud-ahmadinejad-quotes.html

“Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury,”

“Iran is ready to transfer nuclear know-how to the Islamic countries due to their need.”
-- YAY, nukes for everyone! Hezbollah, HAMAS - stop shoving in line! There will be enough for EVERYONE!

On the holocaust

"They have invented a myth that Jews were massacred and place this above God, religions and the prophets."

"We ask the West to remove what they created sixty years ago and if they do not listen to our recommendations, then the Palestinian nation and other nations will eventually do this for them."

"Israel is a rotten, dried tree that will be annihilated in one storm."

"The skirmishes in the occupied land are part of a war of destiny. The outcome of hundreds of years of war will be defined in Palestinian land. As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map."

Yup, the Pope, Israel, the U.S., and everyone non-Muslim are the obvious bad guys here! If we would just all turn off our A/C and convert to Islam, NONE of this would be happening!:shock: :roll:
