A HARDLINE cleric linked to Somalia's powerful Islamist movement has called for Muslims to "hunt down" and kill Pope Benedict XVI for his controversial comments about Islam. Sheikh Abubukar Hassan Malin urged Muslims to find the pontiff and punish him for insulting the Prophet Mohammed and Allah in a speech that he said was as offensive as author Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses. "We urge you Muslims wherever you are to hunt down the Pope for his barbaric statements as you have pursued Salman Rushdie, the enemy of Allah who offended our religion," he said in Friday evening prayers. "Whoever offends our Prophet Mohammed should be killed on the spot by the nearest Muslim," Malin, a prominent cleric in the Somali capital, told worshippers at a mosque in southern Mogadishu. "We call on all Islamic Communities across the world to take revenge on the baseless critic called the pope," he said. Reached by telephone on Saturday, Malin confirmed making the remarks that were echoed in less strident form by other senior clerics in the Supreme Islamic Council of Somalia (SICS). Another SICS executive member, Sheikh Ahmed Abdullahi, vented similar anger at the pope's "barbarous criticism" but stopped short of calling for his murder. "He must apologise because he has offended the most honorable person who ever lived in the world," Abdullahi said. The German-born leader of the Roman Catholic Church has been condemned in the Muslim world for comments he made at a Tuesday lecture, in which he implicitly denounced links between Islam and violence, particularly with reference to jihad, or "holy war." The pope also quoted a 14th-century Byzantine emperor who said innovations introduced by the Prophet Mohammed were "evil and inhuman." Somalia, a Horn of Africa nation of some 10 million mainly moderate Muslims, has been wracked by instability for the past 16 years but has recently seen the rise of fundamentalist Islamists who seized the capital in June.

I love leaders that call for things to happen - WTF don't they just sac-up and go do it themselves?
I can't imagine who this would benefit...and all a the cost of some extra donkeys to bring in the grain to quell the masses...and a little 'getting high' dough... "Somalia's powerful Islamist movement" Editor's choice or mandate line?
The Pope offended Sir Winston Churchill?

God, this is tiresome. Or MontyPython?
Dear God. WTF are these lame-brains?
I'm hoping it is an exposé. I am still trying to rebuild my appetite enough to eat dinner enough as it is after watching that. Finding out it is about a growing movement would end that process immediately, so I have avoided Googling on this preview. To say it is scary is understating things.
Well, they have a point. The nutcase Muzzies send their kids off to learn how to shoot a gun and hurl a grenade. Not to be outdone, the nutcase Christians are doing similarly. Sounds like a match made in heaven to me. Clear the field of Armageddon so they can wipe each other out and leave the rest of us in peace!

It's a bit after 9pm here, and I don't want to see more before being gathered into the arms of Morpheous this evening. Rest well, friend.
Salami Death Cult?

If only it could work out that way.
This could have international implications...His mother, was *gasp*...Jewish. A very sterotypical according to young Winsty himself...
I said before, this new 'Crusade' is winding up to be a doozy! Fact of the matter is, this time, the weapons are available to destory most all human life on this planet. Perhaps "God" has a plan afterall since, IMHO...humans haven't earned the right, not even close, to rule this world. If this potlickers, who proclaim that they are "saved" or pledged to "allah" think they shall be spared or granted great rewards of "heaven or a afterlife" as sorely deluded. Should there actually be a "god" as presented by christians, muslims or jews, I seriously hope he is not "mine"...
There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who smear make-up on their faces and scream about revelations and those who dont.
