Now if only Christians and Jews (and Hindus and Buddhists and atheists and what have you) would indeed get the bright idea to stand together against the global jihad. From the Pope Is A Zionist Department, via Reuters:

Hot off the presses:
Mystichealer, don't start again on Punjabis.
Doesn't take much for these idiots to burn an Israeli flag, does it? Too bad a few of them don't wrap themselves in one before lighting the match.

Please stop this jihad against balochvoice.com and allow us freedom of speech. I beg you to allow us voice.
Do you not feel the pain when innocent mothers and children are maimed and slaughtered.
These palastinians are pawns in the hands of
Iran-Arab-Punjabi evil. Balochis and kashmiris stand shoulder to shoulder against this demonisation of pope and peaceful people of europe.
When arabs lauch jihad against israel, everybody calls them arab evil, so why should we not speak when punjabi savages are doing the same to us.
IP, you have to admit, this war is being fought on a Lot of fronts, with more emerging every month.
And those of us Christians who post here often do the same thing.
And some Secularists... ;)
Hmmm. I just created a Blog. Anyone know where I can find a pic of the flag of islam burning? I need an Avatar.

I agree - I believe in the pan anti-Islam unity. Also, like I noted in another post, Crusades are an inner struggle. I'm undergoing one right now, even though I'm not Christian. Something one has to do after a heavy lunch.
Ironically this actually supports the Israeli Flag making cabal, a powerful driving force behind anti-Muslim Zionism.
"... if only Christians and Jews (and Hindus and Buddhists and atheists and what have you)..."
Well, you forgot the biggest and most important group: the normal, regular, no-nonsense people.
Those who wouldn't touch religion with a ten foot pole.
Any non Muslim regardless of religion or lack thereof should be welcomed in the war against this scourge. Muslims who truly disapprove of their violent co-cultists should merely step aside. Once the job is finished then you can finally clean up Islam (if it's even possible) and join the rest of us in the 21st century.

"Biggest"? "Most Important"?
Bloviating nonsense. Get off your high horse.
Sometimes you have to ponder and ask, why this hatred of the Jews? Anything bad, connect to the Jews. Anything Muslims are angry about, it's the Jews' fault. 9/11? It's the Jews (until Osama bin Laden himself admitted it).
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews. (Sahih Muslim 41.6985)
Poor stupid bastards.
In all the accounts I have read, no one actually quoted the Pope's comments. They were probably pretty mild.
The Israeli flag in that photo looks hand-made, with a magic marker or whatever. Islamic/Fascist/Protesters/Rioters should realize that a hand made flag is not a real flag, but merely a translation of an interpretation of a flag and will not cause Israelis to become upset. A Muslim is allowed to touch a translation of an Israeli flag.
Pelayo,
good one, about the ersatz Israeli flag.
Gary,
please direct us to your blog.
May I join in the barbeque day of rage. I have a Koran that is available to be burnt. ;-)
Nothing like stupid men from Gaza who do not know up from down.
the muslim gene pool is getting too inbred. they need to outcross their breedings. they need to
throw the baby out with the bathwater, and start all over again, ie single cells amoebas for starters.
Yaqub:
Why is Jew-hatred such a hallmark of Islam? How else could Mohammed hope to convince the pagan Arabs of the Hejaz of Islam's superiority over all other faiths than by denegrating the pre-existing monotheistic faith of the region. Now, transpose that mentality to the 21st century and imagine how it must roil them to look at tiny Israel's accomplishments in all aspects of life -- a progressive society, at the forefront of scientific development and the humanities as well, without a drop of petroleum to fund this progress versus the despotic Arab and Muslim feudalist societies that surround the Jewish state.
Imagine how that must stick them where they live.
