Religion Pope Attempts to Smooth Things Over With Osama bin Laden…

…by, um, baptizing a Muslim convert to Catholicism.
Italy’s most prominent Muslim commentator, a journalist with iconoclastic views such as support for Israel, converted to Roman Catholicism Saturday when the pope baptized him at an Easter service….Vatican television zoomed in on Allam, who sat in the front row of the basilica along with six other candidates for baptism. Allam later received his first Communion.
Well, that should put a stop to talk of a “new crusade” and death threats made against the pope. Via Drudge.
Are you kidding? This is going to INFURIATE the fucking Muslims. This is 100 times more blasphemous than printing a cartoon in the newspaper.
Wow... I can't express how little I respect my old faith at this point. This pope is a fucking idiot.
@1 I'm not sure if you missed it or not, but Dan was being sarcastic.
Later they'll no doubt tape him eating the customary 10 courses of pork papal conversion banquet.
For a muslim though, Catholicism must seem pretty compelling, holding out as it does hope for virgin birth. After all what's the one thing that's better than dozens of virgins in the afterlife - dozens of perpetual virgins in the afterlife.
No, Mike, I didn't miss anything - I was being sarcastic too. Hey, it was either that or some kind of wisecrack about Obama bin Laden. . . .
Funniest thing I read all day.
Maybe the Muslims and the Catholics will wipe each other out.
#6 What a thrilling scenario! It is inevitable, isn't it? They love killing people for their respective gods. Lots and lots of proof of that!
