JPOST: As security was beefed up around Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday night, the Mujahideen's Army movement in Iraq threatened to carry out a suicide attack against the Pope in revenge for his comments about Islam and jihad.
On a website used by rebel movements in Iraq, a message posted by the Mujahideen's Army said members of the organization would "smash the crosses in the house of the dog from Rome."
European religious and political leaders have backed the Pope in the wake of the Muslim protests over his academic lecture at Regensburg University Tuesday, saying the pope's words had been misinterpreted.
"Rather than criticizing Islam, the pope is actually offering it a helping hand by suggesting that it do away with the cycle of violence," Fr. Samir K. Samir, SJ, one of the Vatican's leading experts on Islam, wrote in the Catholic newspaper Asia News. Mujahideen's Army threatens Pope with suicide attack

This demonstrates clearly that it isn't the Pope who is doing awful things, it is the demonic savages who will brutally kill in the name of their so-called religion. I don't know about the rest of you, but if they beat on me for a thousand years, I could never stoop so low as to embrace this barbarism. Whoever said this was a religion was living in la-la land and smoking something other than tobacco.

The Haj was published years ago. If you've never read it, you should. It's fiction, but the facts are there.
Sounds interesting, Always.
