One has to marvel at the irony of Muslims rioting and raging over the Pope’s intimation that Islam is a violent religion that forces conversion through violence:
An Iraqi militant group led by al Qaeda vowed a war against the “worshippers of the cross” in response to a recent speech by Pope Benedict on Islam that sparked anger across the Muslim world.
“We tell the worshipper of the cross (the Pope) that you and the West will be defeated, as is the case in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya,” said an Internet statement by the Mujahideen Shura Council, an umbrella group led by Iraq’s branch of al Qaeda.
“We shall break the cross and spill the wine. … God will (help) Muslims to conquer Rome. … God enable us to slit their throats, and make their money and descendants the bounty of the mujahideen,” said the statement.
…Another militant group in Iraq, Ansar al-Sunnah, also vowed to fight Christians in retaliation.
“You will only see our swords until you go back to God’s true faith Islam,” it said in a separate Internet statement. [Source: Qaeda-led group vows "jihad" over Pope's speech ]
This is almost too ironic to be true. Could this be a CIA ruse?
