"Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said the pope should explain and "tell us what exactly did he mean ... It can't just be left like that."

Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi has tried to defuse anger, saying the pope did not intend to offend Muslim sensibilities and insisting Benedict respects Islam. In Pakistan, the Vatican envoy voiced regret at "the hurt caused to Muslims."

Muslim leaders were unappeased.

"We do not accept the apology through Vatican channels ... and ask him (Benedict) to offer a personal apology ? not through his officials," Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, Lebanon's most senior Shiite cleric, told worshippers in Beirut."

There was an alert bulletin for Government Employees & Officials who have security clearances, recommending that all classified personnel secure their homes with a 3-6 month supply of non perishable food, bottled water and staples such as toilet paper, etc. In addition they were advised to requisition a minimum of 1000 rounds of ammunition per weapon of issue, this is for both side arms and rifles. All personnel are advised to be accutely aware of their surroundings as credible threats of bombing attacks and suicide runs have been uncovered.

This is going to get MUCH worse over the next few years. God (Or whatever it is that you believe in) help us all!
:helpme

Bump for those who care to take off your foil hats and get into reality for a while. This shit is brewing up like the last dump I took.

Double Post

Somehow this MUST be Bush's fault.... :Oh crap

Nothing like shooting nuns in the back and burning churches to prove the 14th Century Byzantine Emporer right though...:Oh crap

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

damn skippy :thumbsup

Religion never ceases to fuck up.. Who oh why do we still allow religion to run rampant in a world where religion is not required? Why do we let them control everything? Ah well, once we're all dead all the religious people will finally see that there isno such thing as god, heaven, hell, angels and all of the other bullshit that they feed everyone. religion does nothing but cause hate in the world.

Look a little deeper than religion.

Bet ya $5 whole bucks you take away religion and nothing changes.

Buy GOLD make money :) Always a silver lining in the fucked up world in which we live.

What an idiot this new pope is.

Any religious group that thinks it is OK to kill someone because they were OFFENDED is a religion that needs to be wiped off the face of this planet.

I should not have to live my life in fear of being killed because I offended you by something I said. And I don't give a D@MN what your religion is; christian, islamic, jewish, whatever. The moment your religion/race/whatever says it is OK to hurt someone because you are intolerant of others; you just signed your death warrant.

And don't give me crap about me being intolerant. I wouldn't start it, but you better believe I would end it.

David.

there is something out there still.

the world is gonna erupt in flames tomorrow when Iran's President & Bush go head to head at the UN.

the sooner this war begins, the better off we'll all be.

What's the matter? Pope been a dick?

He does come off a bit dumb, but no reason to call for his death.

I thought they were supposed to do a Karoake face-off?? :helpme

Seriously, blaming this on the Pope is ridiculous. Maybe it wasn't the smartest thing, but actually I read his entire speech (as painful as it was) and in the context of things, even from a Muslim perspective it doesn't stand out as an attack at all. So it is the Pope's fault these 10th Century morons are constantly spoiling for a fight? Why doesn't the Catholic Church burn down Mosque's and feed the fire of extremists in their own ranks to demand equal rights for Christians in various Muslim countries? Like Saudi Arabia? Because unlike these aggressive leaders in the Muslim faith they prefer to solve their problems through diplomatic means. What the Pope said, even if one can take offence to it (although I think the backlash is totally uncalled for), is in the past and it should stay there. He apologised, clarified and moved on, why can't these morons just do the same? Instead they call for YET ANOTHER day of rage and protest after Fridays visit to the Mosque. Fucking imbeciles.
