#1 James Taranto: "After all, how many suicide bombers does the pope have?"

#2 Reminds me of the seething, outrage and protest that occured when Mahathir from Malaysia said all those nasty things about Jews. Oh. Wait. There wasn't any.

I guess it's just not ok to say bad things about muslims. might hurt their feelings and they'll be provoked.

But unlike just about any other ethnicity, religion or culture, ANYTHING provokes them, apparently.

the use of the term "Islamofacism" to mean those who terrorize in the name of Islam - a provocation
Cartoons - a provocation
Pope's comments - a provocation
The existence of Israel - a provocation
We buy their oil - a provocation
We furnish them with horrible western things like medicine, technology and education - a provocation
We're not muslim - a provocation

Where does it end!?!?!?!

#3 Where does it end!?!?!?!

When the muslims elicit a provocation that we can only respond to w/nuclear means.

#8 Re #5: Actually, I'm in agreement with the guy's sign that says "Christians Community Should Take Notice of Pope's Remarks". I'll bet the holder of the sign doesn't speak or write English. I'll also bet that the BBC photographer made the signs.

#11 But unlike just about any other ethnicity, religion or culture, ANYTHING provokes them, apparently.

As I was saying over in the soccer thread:

Basically, everything imaginable is un-Islamic, except when it isn't. Just ask any mullah. If you're not a Muslim, every damn thing on earth and yet to be is un-Islamic. If you are a Muslim, any-fucking-thing goes. All taqqiya, all the time.

#12 News > No retraction forthcoming. SO, the Vatican has to choose between MadMoud attacking ST. Peter's, versus Gabriel slicing and dicing the earth like a ginsu, or OWG shooting down Jesus Christ with a HELLFIRE for lack of OWG aerospace travel clearance, ergo the Vatican must fear MadMoud, etal.

#13 No wonder Pakistan's average life expectancy for men is only 60. All this seething, all the freakin' time, can't be good for the ol' ticker.

Of course, if I was stuck in the "paradise" that is Pakistan, I'd probably want the torment to end sooner, too.

#14 I don't know how to break this to you, Blondie, but in Pakistan an uppity dame like yourself might not last very long without something like a BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle).

#15 I hope he is not going to Turkey, because I know one of them muzzy idiots will try and kill him. Then the Crusades starts all over again.

#17 Zenster, that's precisely the reason it's been absent on my "1000 places to see before I kick this mortal coil" list.

Plus, all the ammo that I would need to have slung around my hips makes my butt look huge. Can't have that. ;)
