The Pope replied: "I'm 82 you know".&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;When asked how he suggested Israel be wiped off the map, his Holiness replied: "Ahh, good question, um, condoms, oh wait, lack of condoms, banning condoms, it's one of those isn't it?".&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Speaking from his Los Angeles mansion, a drunk, naked and slurring Mel Gibson was quoted as saying: "You go Popie, see I told  I was right about those damn Jews".  He then passed out in a pot plant. &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s3i53108" title="http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s3i53108"&gt;www.thespoof.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;H1&gt;Pope calls for Israel to be wiped off the map &lt;/H1&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;

            Pope Benedict XVI has joined the ranks of other religious fanatics, world leaders and nut jobs with calls to wipe &lt;A href="#" class="kLink" target="undefined" id="KonaLink0"&gt;&lt;FONT color="#ff0000"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="kLink"&gt;Israel&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; off the map.  Standing alongside Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, he delivered his strongest public support yet for blowing the living shit out of Israel.  Thereby continuing along his current trend of giving his opinion when it's not wanted, needed or relevant to his role as Pope&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV id="articleimageinner"&gt;

He has gone to Cairo like President Kennedy went to Berlin, to make a political point about human solidarity. Kennedy, of course, was expressing solidarity with West Germany shortly after the Soviet backed communist regime in East Germany erected the Berlin Wall. Years later President Reagan went to Berlin to tell the Soviets, “Tear down this wall!” Obama has gone to Cairo with something more like a &lt;EM&gt;civis Romanus sum&lt;/EM&gt; in mind rather than a challenge to a repressive regime. The new Roman order, however, is not led by any one country. It is founded in tolerance and understanding, beginning with tolerance for Muslims and understanding for their way of life. Obama went to Cairo to console, not challenge. Under Obama, the son of a Muslim, we are all Muslims now.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The first step in this remarkable analysis is to blame tensions between the United States and Muslims on colonialism and the Cold War.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/obama/" rel="tag"&gt;obama&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/muslims/" rel="tag"&gt;muslims&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2009/06/04/ich-bin-ein-muslimer/</clipSource><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2009 23:19:59 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Christian Mob Burns 100 Muslim Homes!

The riots were incited by broadcasts from local mosques.

It was effectively established as a madrasah, which would produce good little  
  Muslims. That, I have no doubt, is what it has achieved. To be sure, they 
  might not be well-educated little Muslims, and their career prospects are  
  probably poor. But at least they are Muslims, the production  of which was 
  the intended  function of the school.

Needless to say, no other country in Europe has allowed the creation of a 
  separate Muslim educational system. That is Ireland's melancholy 
  contribution to the brainless heresy that is multiculturalism.

It was therefore only natural for the (increasingly sloppy) media to portray Benedict's respect for &lt;I&gt;Muslims&lt;/I&gt; as respect for &lt;I&gt;Islam&lt;/I&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;Did the true God of heaven give him Islam, or did Muhammad invent it? ... Did Muhammad express the heart of the true, merciful God, or did he merely express the dark corners of his own faulty human heart? The implication shook me to the core: If the true God never spoke to Muhammad, then I am a slave to the manipulative imagination of a desert tribesman from the seventh century! These were dangerous thoughts, and I had crossed a dangerous bridge in my mind that all Muslims are taught to walk away from.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.meforum.org/2164/respecting-faithful-respecting-faith</clipSource><pubDate>Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:21:13 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Tamim Ansary on the future of the Iranian regime</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/28487B06-0C78-4E0C-B037-DF38AA04DA4A/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/enbar/"&gt;enbar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  Ansary believes that what he calls the "Khomeinist" regime has made such serious tactical mistakes in trying to control dissent that it is probably doomed at this point. Khamenei, in failing even to maintain the appearance of fairness and impartiality, has insulted the intelligence of the people and sacrificed his own legitimacy. Interestingly, Ansary remarks that only intervention from the West -- on behalf of the protesters, that is -- is likely to save the old guard at this point, by restoring their moral authority as the guardians of Iranian nationalism. &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://therumpus.net/2009/06/iran%e2%80%99s-regime-marching-toward-a-cliff/" title="http://therumpus.net/2009/06/iran%e2%80%99s-regime-marching-toward-a-cliff/"&gt;therumpus.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/image_cache/enbar/512/600B1DDE-C232-4BF2-B4FE-D6A6755A122E.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;H1&gt;Iran’s Regime: Marching Toward a Cliff&lt;/H1&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;Tamim Ansary&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;Khatami, Mousavi, and Rafsanjani don’t propose to dismantle the Islamic Republic and replace it with a secular democracy. They’re out to save the Islamic Republic by changing its approach to the world and thus preserve its stature in world affairs.  They see what Obama sees: that belligerent bullying ultimately weakens a nation. This doesn’t mean their commitment to Islam (or even Islamism) has weakened, any more than Obama’s willingness to talk with states like Iran means he no longer believes in democracy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;If a plurality of the nation comes to feel that these Khomeinist clerics are good Muslims but bad for Iran, they are finished.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;Their only possible hope then will rest with some outside force inserting itself into the fray and giving them a convenient scapegoat, someone like John McCain, who incredibly enough said today that the United States “should lead”  the Iranian revolution.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/iran/" rel="tag"&gt;iran&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/iran_elections_2009/" rel="tag"&gt;iran_elections_2009&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/middle_east/" rel="tag"&gt;middle_east&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/politics/" rel="tag"&gt;politics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://therumpus.net/2009/06/iran%e2%80%99s-regime-marching-toward-a-cliff/</clipSource><pubDate>Tue, 23 Jun 2009 18:36:44 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
