#1 "Upon being informed of the content of the speech the pope, whose own address was interrupted by the Muslim cleric, stopped the conference."

That explains the delay yesterday. He didn't know what was being said in arabic until it was translated. I am a little surprised they didn't have in-line real time translation.

#2 This seems to have gotten very little play, aside from Gateway Pundit. I am quite surprised as it has the potential to be one of those events you are reading about in history books 50 years later. It is too bad B-16 doesn't have a Thatcher or Reagan to play off. Yet.

#3 No wonder the left is in love with these silly "religion of peace" type persons, neither have any class.

#4 THe amusing thing is the degree of projection* in the Sheiks outburst, it's the RoP that deliberately targets civilian targets such a bombing pizza restaurants and rocketing border villages. It's the RoP that deliberately destroys the religious buildings of others (e.g. Bamyan Buddha).

Walking out was wrong, the Pope should have started laughing at the hypocrite!

*A trait also shared with most lefties.

#5 "Well... thanks for that, uh, um, insightful commentary Sheik Tamimi... but I think we'll take a break there. Say, about 2 centuries..."

#6 Pictures of the Gloriously Beautiful but sadly ineffective Chevron B-16 are redacted in the name of ummm... getting along with Papists and such like.
