I remind you again of Somalia's top jihadi cleric's call for death:
Sheikh Abubukar Hassan Malin urged Muslims to find the pontiff and punish him for
insulting the Prophet Mohammed and Allah in a speech that he said was as
offensive as author Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses.
"We urge you
Muslims wherever you are to hunt down the Pope for his barbaric statements as
you have pursued Salman Rushdie, the enemy of Allah who offended our religion,"
he said in Friday evening prayers.
"Whoever offends our Prophet Mohammed
should be killed on the spot by the nearest Muslim," Malin, a prominent cleric
in the Somali capital, told worshippers at a mosque in southern
Mogadishu.
"We call on all Islamic Communities across the world to take
revenge on the baseless critic called the pope," he said.
And an eye witness account of protests in London:
To see the frightening photos and the entire post, visit Joee Blogs. We are also praying for the protection of all the Church whose buildings are now being subjected to bombings, whose clergy are being tortured and a nun martyred.Holy Mass on a Sunday is the very source and summit of the Catholic week,
so my family decided this Sunday to make the trip to Westminster Cathedral
together. As we came out about 100 Islamists were chanting slogans such as "Pope
Benedict go to Hell" "Pope Benedict you will pay, the Muja Hadeen are coming
your way" "Pope Benedict watch your back" and other hateful things. I'll post
more pictures of it when I get more free time. It was a pretty nasty
demonstration. From 11 - 3pm they chanted absurd things, literally just outside
the Cathedral. And from 11- 3pm (and indeed all day, every day) like every day
of the week, faithful Catholics and non-Catholics (mainly tourists) wondered in
and out of the magnificent Church, largely ignoring the furore of hatred this
crowd of muslims was trying to stir up...
St. Michael the Archangel, pray for us.
