Muslim Leader: The Pope Must Die!

We could not make this stuff up even if we tried: A leader of a radical Muslim group in London, Anjem Choudary, said in a demonstration in front of Westminister Abby that those who insulted Islam would be "subject to capital punishment...the Muslims take their religion very seriously and non-Muslims must appreciate that and thay must also understand that there may be serious consequences if you insult Islam and the prophet...Whoever insults the message of Mohammed is going to be subject to capital punishment...I am here to have a peaceful demonstration. But there may be people in Italy or other parts of the world who would carry that out...I think that warning needs to be understood by all people who want to insult Islam and want to insult the prophet of Islam." Meanwhile, al-Qaeda in Iraq warns Christians that: "the worshipper of the cross...you and the West are doomed as you can see from the defeat in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and elsewhere. ... We will break up the cross, spill the liquor and impose head tax, then the only thing acceptable is a conversion (to Islam) or (killed by) the sword."
