  1. Well, it’ll be good for them to get a chance to see what a civilized funeral for a religious leader looks like…you know, without all the mobs of rioters chanting “Death to America” and “Death to the Zionist Entity” or something like that while ravenously ripping apart the body of the deceased to grab a souvenir.

  2. “while ravenously ripping apart the body of the deceased to grab a souvenir”
    For the past 2000 years this has been rather customary, actually, at the funerals of Catholic popes and other “holy men.”

  4. Remember the Ayatollah Khomeni’s funeral? His body got tipped out and fell into the hands of the mourners.
    I hope that security is strict in Rome on Friday – there will be a lot of dignitaries there.

  5. They’re not alone…. Due to the high coverage every where in the world of this sad event, a french evangelical media spoke of “worldly generalised papostasy”…
    They’re not afraid by stupidity ! (the more words
    there are in the expression, the most impressive it is, provided the word “bilical” is here of course and the suffix like “-ostasy” or “-atry” end the words such as Mary or pope etc…
    I thank God there not all like that and that many I know are great people.

  6. I’m sorry, but when I was scanning the page I saw the words “Mad” and “Arab” in the headline and thought it was another post about Lovecraft!

  8. I welcome the comments of the angry Islamists more than I do those of the left wing who are coming out now in an article on Yahoo to decry the pope for his “failings” in dealing with AIDS.
    Calling the pope a “tyrant” for some reason is more palatable than gay rights activists criticizing him for “stigmatizing homosexuality by declaring it a sin.” They make it sound like he pulled his theology out of the air just to promote the death of millions.
    Really, who is more clueless here?

  9. Maybe these “Islamists” are not really radical Moslems, but simply representatives of a religion which is, by nature, at war with Christianity.

  10. Hehe, at least, these Islamists are more honest than the many dissidents who wanted this pope dead.
