Muslim anger is growing over the Pope’s recent quotation of a 14th century Byzantine emperor’s comments on Islam.

Some news and images you won’t see getting a lot of play in the main stream press, though most come from main stream sources.

Remind me to never, ever, say anything at all that might possibly be construed as anything less than complete and total reverence for the Prophet. In that spirit, I can only applaud the fact that the wiki article on Jesus Christ gives Islam’s view of Christ in the fourth paragraph, while the wiki article on the Prophet merely includes an external link to non-Muslim views of Islam… at the very bottom of the article.

And speaking of assassinating the Pope , don’t miss this instant classic when it comes out.

I’m going back into hiding now… I don’t want to be missing any parts in the morning.

UPDATE: Well, it’s morning now, and I’m all here.

I note, with the appropriate approval required of me by the religion of peace, that, just a little while ago, Palestinians have firebombed five churches on the West Bank and Gaza. Of course, one Palestinian leader, in his role as corrector of the unbalanced coverage given by the Western media, has denounced the actions… following two days of Muslim leaders worldwide inspiring the faithful with denunciations of the Pope and exhortations to protect the Prophet’s reputation, which they have done admirably, of course.
I’m beginning to wonder if maybe ZOD for 2008 isn’t such a bad idea after all. I feel certain that the general would lead the west into an appropriate relationship with the religion of peace.
UPDATE to the UPDATE:

The latest from the Mujahadeen Army, according to Yahoo:

“We swear to God to send you people who adore death as much as you adore life,” said the message posted in the name of the Mujahedeen Army on a Web site frequently used by militant groups. The message’s authenticity could not be independently verified. The statement was addressed to “you dog of Rome” and threatens to “shake your thrones and break your crosses in your home.”

I suspect the only “independent verification” available to the infidels at Yahoo would involve an unscheduled visit from a holy warrior, who would instruct those dogs of reporters in improvisational kinetic events. There is, I suppose, something to be said for finally understanding the truth (very, very briefly) before going on to your reward.

I’m beginning to think I may know what really happened to the planet Krypton, home of the eternally-to-be-worshipped ZOD. It probably is not a good idea to teach worm-hole physics in madrassas.

UPDATE to the UPDATE to the UPDATE:

(For those of you wondering why I’m numbering UPDATES this way, it’s because I’m not sure I’m entirely worthy to use Arabic numbers along with the truly faithful.)

So, the Pope, realizing his greivous error, has apologized, sort of.   Perhaps the faithful, in their mercy, will spare the infidel minorities who infest their lands with false teachings.   I certainly hope the dog of Rome has learned something in all of this.   I certainly have.
