| Qaeda to blow up holiest Christian site? |
| 2009-01-29 |
| Benjamin Netanyahu, the favorite to win the upcoming Israeli election, says al Qaeda terrorists will destroy Jesus Christ's burial site. Netanyahu, who claims he had predicted an Islamic extremists attack on the World Trade Center six years before the actual attack, said terrorists will target Church of the Holy Sepulchre also known as the Church of the Resurrection - Christianity's holiest site. The church located in Jerusalem (al-Quds) -- which according to the New Testament is the site of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus -- attracts tens of thousands of pilgrims every year and is considered a spiritual focal point. "Radical Islam is willing and will want to attack the symbolic heart of the Christian religion," said the former Israeli prime minister. "This will incur a chain reaction we can't even envision. We will witness an escalation of religious conflict above and beyond the regional conflict we have now," Daily Telegraph quoted him as saying. The Right-wing Likud leader said he had warned in a 1995 book -- six years before the September 11 attacks -- that "Islamist terrorists" would detonate a nuclear device in the World Trade Centre in New York. |

| #6 Spike Uniter, if I understand certain prophecies correctly, they are successful, too. I think one of OBL's videos portrayed him as sitting on a throne much like St. Peter's chair, with a halo effect, but maybe I'm just confusing it with one of Fred's photos. |

| #4 I'm guessing OS doesn't have much experience with Christians in the developing world. In general Christians in the developing world are MUCH more fundamentalist. I could definitely see Christians in South America and Africa going medieval on their Muslim neighbors. |

| #1 I hate to break it to them, but unlike the heathen Muzzies, Christianity is tied to the heart and individual soul and choice to open up to God and keep him with you. Its not tied to a block of rock in a single place, like Mecca. But if they want to start playing that game... It makes one wonder how their false religion of the false paedophile prophet would survive the destruction of that piece of rock at Mecca... |
