Iraq al-Qaeda: Pope, West are doomed
2006-09-18
An al-Qaeda-linked extremist group warned Pope Benedict XVI on Monday that he and the West were "doomed," as protesters returned to the streets across the Muslim world to demand more of an apology from the pontiff for his remarks about Islam and violence.

The Mujahedeen Shura Council, an umbrella organization of Sunni Arab extremist groups that includes al-Qaeda in Iraq, issued a statement on a Web forum vowing to continue its holy war against the West. The authenticity of the statement could not be independently verified.

The group said Muslims would be victorious and addressed the pope as "the worshipper of the cross" saying "you and the West are doomed as you can see from the defeat in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and elsewhere. ... We will break up the cross, spill the liquor and impose head tax, then the only thing acceptable is a conversion (to Islam) or (killed by) the sword."

#12  My great-uncle used to make blackberry-flavored moonshine in Louisiana. That stuff had enough of a whallop to put a guy in orbit - around Jupiter. He sent me a couple of quarts when I was in tech school. The only thing that kept me from being dishonorably discharged is that our XO was from Arkansas, and had a taste for the stuff himself.

#10   Moonshine: Nope - but I sure do know how to make it... and if I want to make it I will!

That's my hobby, but don't tell anyone.
I make the best top shelf liquor around, at least I think so.
Once I gave a lot of people at a party a tasting of Midori and my concoction.
One hundred percent said mine was the best.
I get the same feed back from my whiskey (note spelling) and Brandy.

#8  'We will break up the cross, spill the liquor and impose head tax'

Whoah, whoah, whoah. Wait a minute there. The cross bit's annoying, but the part about spilling liquor and taxing head?

That's just evil.

#7  Let's hear Hugo Chavez's view on this. Let his countrymen know who he backs more, the Pope or Iran.

#6  The Pope should use some of that Vatican's vast wealth for an ad campaign showing the world after Al Queda won....

+ Rosie O'Donnel being killed for being gay.
+ Supermodels in Burqas.
+ Woman as property.
+ Anti-War protesters gunned down in the streets.
+ Alchohal banned world wide.

Put things in a way they (the useful idiots) can actually understand. This is Al Qaedas goal. They are not kidding. They are not almost as bad as Bush. Wake up. That sort of thing.

In other words, the Pope was EXACTLY right.
