Irritating religious militants is like telling water to run downhill

So a few days ago the Catholic Pope gives a speech in which he may or may not have accused Muslims of being violent.

And militant Muslims responded by saying "take it back or we'll blow you up!"

Does anyone else see the irony here?

    "...the Catholic Pope ..." - like there's another one? I'm pretty sure the whole French anti-pope thing was over in the 15th century. But really, this was just a chance to bust your (non-practicing) chops a litte.

    fine fine fine. Perhaps you would prefer I referred to his Eminence as "Joey Ratz" (his gangsta nickname) or "il Papo del tutti papi (should Mario Puzo ever write his biography).

    I was making reference to the fact that I hadn't made sure that there are no other Popes.

    Would you prefer "the Roman Pope", or "that Dude in the Vatican" (tell me no-one would know who I was talking about).

    More important is the fact that Muslims have been blowing up Greek Orthodox churches. I'm fairly sure the Greek Orthodoxy doesn't recognize the Pope.

    Oh, sweet Irony. I'm gonna buy me a statue.
