Al-Qaeda vows "We Will Smash The Cross"
AL-QAEDA in Iraq has said in response to remarks by Pope Benedict XVI linking Islam with violence that it will wage jihad until the West is defeated, in a statement posted on the Internet today.
"We say to the servant of the cross (the Pope): wait for defeat ... We say to infidels and tyrants: wait for what will afflict you.
"We continue our jihad. We will not stop until the banner of unicity flies throughout the world," said the statement attributed to the Mujahideen consultative council.
"We will smash the cross ... (you will have no choice but) Islam or death," the statement added, citing a hadith (saying of the Prophet Mohammed) promising Muslims they would "conquer Rome ... as they conquered Constantinople".
Two other armed groups in Iraq, Jaish al-Mujahideen and Asaeb al-Iraq al-Jihadiya, have already threatened the Vatican with reprisals in statements posted on Islamist websites.
The Islamist group threatened "to slit their throats, and take their money and descendants the bounty of the mujahideen."
Al-Qaeda is threatening the west with Jihad? So what is new? They are just joining the myriad voices of lunacy that are proving the Popes remarks are true beyond a reasonable doubt. No apology will do, and frankly I think none is nessecary.
