A fly on the wall tells me the you’ve got to be kidding party is sending out “You’re Invited To A Jihad!” invitations (courtesy of a Canada Council grant) to have tea and a bun with The Mujahidin Shura Council. They aim to solve this whole “Pope” thing. (Helpful hint: don’t say grace before eating, just this one time, Jack!)
Calls for calm as militants threaten to kill the Pope
Security around St Peter’s Square remained tight as al-Qaeda militants in Iraq vowed to “conquer Rome”. The Mujahidin Shura Council, an umbrella group for Sunni Islamists, said in a statement: “We tell the worshipper of the Cross (the Pope) that you and the West will be defeated . . . May God enable us to slit their throats, and make their money and descendants the bounty of the mujahidin.”
If I understand it correctly, a variant of this is exactly what the Left has been planning all this time—just replace mujahadin with “working families”! (And replace God with “the state” and slit their throats with—well just leave that.)
No wonder the you’ve got to be kidding party is so appealing to the Taliban! I smell a merger!
Another militant group in Iraq, Ansar al-Sunnah, added: “The day is coming when the armies of Islam will destroy the ramparts of Rome.”
Effigies of the Pope were burnt from Basra in Iraq to Muzaffarabad in Kashmir. The president of the Islamic Association of China said that the Pope had insulted both Islam and the Prophet Muhammad.
In the Vatican, dismay over the crisis was mingled with grim irony that a quotation accusing Islam of using violence had been greeted with violence.
Cardinal George Pell, the Archbishop of Sydney, said: “The violent reactions in many parts of the Islamic world justified one of Pope Benedict’s main fears . . . They show the link for many Islamists between religion and violence, their refusal to respond to criticism with rational arguments, but only with demonstrations, threats and actual violence.”
In London yesterday Anjem Choudary, a militant Muslim lawyer, said during a protest outside Westminster Cathedral that those who insulted Islam should be killed.
Nothing a nice cuppa tea and a bun can’t fix.
