“Why don't you tell them how many million citizens of America and it's allies you intend to kill in search of the imaginary victory and in breathless pursuit of the mirage towards which you are driving your people’s sons in order to increase your profits,” says Al-Qaida's, Ayman al-Zawahri in a newly released video tape today.

Zawahri calls Bush a failure over war on terror

Al Qaeda deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri called President Bush a "lying failure" for saying progress had been made in the war on terror, according to a video posted on the Internet on Friday.

"Bush you are a lying failure and a charlatan. It has been three and-a-half years (since the arrests) ... What happened to us? We have gained more strength and we are more insistent on martyrdom," the Egyptian militant leader said.

Zawahri was referring to the arrest of al Qaeda figures such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the September 11 attacks on the United States.

"Bush, oh failure and liar, why don't you be courageous for once and confront your people and tell them the truth about your losses in Iraq and Afghanistan," he said.

He also called Pope Benedict a "charlatan" because of his remarks on Islam.

"This charlatan accused Islam of being incompatible with rationality while forgetting that his own Christianity is unacceptable to a sensible mind," Zawahri said.

In a speech to a university in his native Germany on Sept 12, Pope Benedict quoted criticism of Islam and the Prophet Mohammad by 14th century Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaeologus, who wrote that everything Mohammad brought was evil and inhuman.

He said there was no room for violence in a religion based on reason.

Jihad Watch has more with - A prescription from the Good Doctor Al-Zawahiri

Right on cue, as we all expected from the "Religion of Peace®" the murdering of innocent Christians has begun.

On Friday, a prominent hardline Mogadishu cleric called for all Muslims to "hunt down" and kill the Pope for his recent remarks.

Sheikh Abubukar Hassan Malin told his flock of this "Religion of Peace®" during Friday prayers, that "Whoever offends our Prophet Mohammed should be killed on the spot by the nearest Muslim."

Mogadishu 17, Sep. 06 ( Sh.M.Network) - Unidentified gunmen are reported to have raided Mogadishu’s SOS hospital and gunned down one of the foreign nuns in the hospital.

Reliable sources say the nun, thought to be an Italian, is confirmed dead. A bodyguard of the nun instantly died after he was fatally shot by two men reportedly armed with handguns.

Reports also indicate that the two assailants have been nabbed by armed guards within SOS hospital.

Six other suspects have also arrested as one of the Islamic Courts leaders Sheik Yusuf Indho-adde told reporters.

Second Assyrian Christian Killed in Retaliation for Pope's Remarks

Sources at Baghdad's Yarmouk Hospital announced on Saturday the death of a second Assyrian Christian who fell victim to multiple stab wounds at the Assyrian market in the Doura District. His murder comes a day after the attack on Syriac Catholic Church in the Ashar district of central Basra where another man was murdered.

Christian Leaders in Iraq have asked their parishioners to be extremely cautious and not to leave their homes as a new group called the young Brigades of Fundamental Islam ' has distributed papers announcing the slaying of all Iraqi Christians in three days if the Pope does not Apologize.

According to the insurgency-loyal news website, islammemo.cc, the bishop of the Syriac Catholic Church has also taken his plea to the central government of Iraq and the coalition forces in hopes that they intervene and offer protection to the native Christians.

While Muslims around the world demonstrate against Pope Benedict's recent comments on Islam, the threats of war against the west are also abounding throughout the Arab world.

The most extreme opinion was voiced by Hani Pahas in the London-based Arabic-language daily newspaper Al-Hayat, who wrote “the pope’s comments may lead to war; we fear that the pope’s statements may lead to a war that we, Muslims and Christians alike, are trying to prevent through dialogue between East and West.

What the hell has the last 5 years been? A walk in the park?

I don't see where the leaders of Islam anywhere in the world, including here in the U.S., are doing a damn thing to try and prevent further escalation of tensions between the two sides.

Hussein Shabakshy wrote in an article published by the London-based Arabic-language newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat “It is clear that such remarks only contribute to the fueling of the fire raging between Islam and the West. There is no difference between Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri speaking from their caves in Tora Bora and the stage of an important Christian saint. Both parties contribute to the world verbal weapons for mass destruction.”

And where is the Islamic outrage when Osama bin Laden speaks of death to America and Christians? This is not contributing to the "fueling of the fire raging between Islam and the West?"

“The pope’s latest statement cannot be considered a slip of the tongue or a comic bit from a TV show; the situatio0n here is different, and his remarks are indicative of an important and highly symbolic stance toward the religion (Islam) and the prophet of about a billion and-a-half Muslims,” he said.

“These are ignorant comments previously made by Adolf Hitler, who spoke of a supreme white race against all the other races, especially the African race.

Where is the Muslim outrage over the thousands of sectarian deaths in Iraq? Muslims murdering Muslims. 1536 people murdered this month in Baghdad alone. Another 1500 last month.

Where is the Muslim outrage over these religous murders?

There is none. Why? Because Islam is the "Religion of Peace®." It's obviously all right to murder Muslims, you just can't insult them.

Was the Holy Father's utterance of the Unholy Truth of Islam a revelation? Me thinkth not.

Update: Orthodox Priest Beheaded In Iraq.

Relatives of a beheaded Iraqi priest said his captors had demanded a church apology for recent papal comments about Islam.

Proving the point once again!

Of course they do. They are very sensitive people.

How else would you expect the "Religion of Peace" to respond?

Michelle Malkin has this:

Pope Rage on the Internet; church bombings in Gaza

Using the terms "jihad" and "holy war", the Pope said violence was "incompatible with the nature of God".

Muslims are offended because they promote hatred and violence in the "Name of God." Just take a look at the death rate of Iraqi Muslims due to the sectarian violence spreading like wildfire across their country today, all in the "Name of God."

1500 people dead, this week alone.

Pope's Remarks may lead to War

Also: Flying planes into buildings with innocents was a "peaceful dialogue." And kidnapping soldiers was simply "an invitation to party."

Why do these jack asses think that they're the only ones who can declare war? And that they're the only ones who can be filled with indignation, shock (shock!), and outrage (outrage!)?

The most extreme opinion was voiced by Hani Pahas in the London-based Arabic-language daily newspaper Al-Hayat, who wrote “the pope’s comments may lead to war; we fear that the pope’s statements may lead to a war that we, Muslims and Christians alike, are trying to prevent through dialogue between East and West.

Why, yes, thanks for asking. The last 5 years have been simply wonderful. It's been delightful, like Sunday Brunch in the Summer. But nope, no war here.

I suspect today the murders of Christens around the world will begin. Let's face it, the "ROP®" knows no other way.
