Among his other qualities, the Pope is an excellent shot.
UPDATE. “Excellent grouping,” observes Infidel Tiger. “Must have learnt to shoot during his Hitler Youth days.” Not only that, you’ll note that the Pontiff achieved a perfect Red Cross ambulance hole through one of the doves—despite using a shotgun. Way to go, Ratzy!
Perhaps the elderly imams of Somalia should lie low for a while.

I didn’t know it was an animation—Michelle Malkin has the final frame up at her site that pretty much says it all (in their view) and I thought that it was just an editorial cartoon. Still, I’m disappointed that there wasn’t a Star of David somewhere on the Pope’s clothes. I hope someone loses his job over that faux pas.

Ok, here’s the drill. 10 gets you in, but only on the “econo, space available” level. 50 secures your reservation. 100 bumps you to 1st class. 1000 gets you preferred seating for eternity.
For ID and head count purposes. If they are not among those serving honorably in the fight against the jihadi (either in a uniformed armed service of a western or allied nation or in civilian intel or policing of the same nations (excluding Saudi religious police) then they are the jihadi.
Women count as a full point each but children under 12 only score a half point each.
I thought the Pope reminded me a bit of John Wayne. They should have given him a winchester instead of a shotgun though.
I’m just waiting for the Pope’s next sermon,
There’s right and there’s wrong. You got to do one or the other. You do the one and your living. You do the other and you may be walking around, but your dead as a beaver hat.
Quote from The Alamo
Quote from True Grit “Fill your hands you son of a bitch” could be taken as not in the spirit of interfaith dialogue.
Interesting - an under-and-over shotgun which does not operate on a break-open breech system, and appears to be semi-automatic.
Man, those Beretta guys are good!
Also, you have to be afraid of any guy who can hit a fast-moving target using a sawn-off shotgun - imagine what B16 could do with a full length stock!
Typical towelheads and their guns - who could ever forget the weapon-handling techniques (key: don’t grab hot barrels) of al Zarqari and friends.
Posted by Apparatchik on 2006 09 19 at 03:23 AM • permalinkApparatchik (#22) But it’s an Italian shotgun!
These guns have mystical powers far beyond those of more pedestrian guns.
Conspiracy theorists believe that John Wayn’e sixguns were secretly made in Italy, and everyone knows that the Duke never had to reload, and every shot would drop at least four of the baddies.
I suspect Rove (or the mysterious Paco cabal).

Yup. For the Jews however, it’s the year 5766 so they are about 3760 years ahead of everybody.
It is also the year 4703 in the Chinese Calendar, which is very significant, as it means the Jews went without Chinese food for 1063 years. Oh the humanity.

Posted by surfmaster on 2006 09 19 at 05:30 AM • permalinkA lot of confusion comes from a mistake in etymology. It’s believed that ``outrage’’ has something to do with ``rage.’‘
But ``outrage’’ is from French ``outre,’’ beyond what is proper, made into a noun with -age.
English sees the resulting ``-rage’’ and assumes that what is beyond what is proper deserves rage. The word itself says so.
This is so useful that it was re-imported back into France.

OF course, so did Dirk Hartog and a host of others, but this is getting beyond ridiculous.
Further to the link above is this follow-on story with a wonderful view of muslims’ contribution to our heritage:
Muslims played key roles in some of modern Australia’s major developments - inland exploration, the gold rush, the overland telegraph, railroads and the Snowy Mountains hydroelectric scheme.
So there you have it. We owe it all to islam.
Mind you, I don’t remember anything about Hume and Hovell or Major Mitchell or Joseph Banks praising allah, but I could be wrong.
Posted by Nilknarf Arbed on 2006 09 19 at 07:15 AM • permalinkthis is by far the best one I’ve found so far…
I thought everyone knew that astronaut Neil Armstrong, after he had heard the Muslim call to prayer on the moon, became a Muslim after he returned to Earth. Then I heard that Neil Armstrong had denied becoming a Muslim, and that really surprised me. Then I heard that he had actually become a Muslim after hearing the Muslim call to prayer on the moon, but was forced to publicly deny he had become Muslim under pressure and even threats from the United States government because they were afraid the fact that Neil Armstrong had heard the Muslim call to prayer on the moon and become Muslim would influence many millions of Americans to become Muslim. Now I don’t know for sure what to think, but I think it’s most likely he is now a Muslim, and even though hearing the Muslim call to prayer on the moon sounds kind of strange, it could happen.
The strange thing is that this person can also read and write.
#31, That’s what I was referring to.
Murph, I prefer this one:
When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous “One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind” statement, but followed it by several remarks, including the usual COM traffic between him, the other astronauts, and Mission Control. Before he re-entered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark “Good luck, Mr. Gorsky.”
Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, [they found] there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs.Over the years, many people have questioned him as to what the “Good luck, Mr. Gorsky” statement meant. On July 5, in Tampa Bay, FL, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26- year-old question to Armstrong. He finally responded. It seems that Mr. Gorsky had died and so Armstrong felt he could answer the question. When he was a kid, Neil was playing baseball with his brother in the backyard. His brother hit a fly ball which landed in front of his neighbors’ bedroom window. The neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorksy. As he leaned down to pick up the ball, he heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky, “Oral sex? Oral sex you want? You’ll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!”
Oh, and here is my latest pop song cover for our jihadi friends
#31- surely you know that the transmission was edited by the filthy infidel CIA/NASA infiltrators who stole the signal from the triumphant Lion of Allah space project launched by cobbling some clapped out Soviet Scuds from Saddam (blessings be upon him for his return to the faith), which placed known acceptor of the Prophet Abdullah el Scimitar (formally known as the infidel Neil Armstrong) on the now Islamic Republic of the Moon, which he claimed in the name of the Prophet, and any stinky Jews or dhimmis who turn up there are mince.
His actual words, before they were polluted by Zionist radio scrambling- “One small step for a humble believer, one giant leap for our Caliphate; holy Allah, there’s Moon Jews! Goddam Warner von Braun was right! We have to haul ass into orbit and nuke the site…. it’s the only way!......”
What we can’t work out though is how come our holdings, which we celebrate on our flags before the Jews and their American lackeys shred them with superior ordnance, shrink to nothing then all of a sudden there’s a full moon again; no wonder those kikes are the only ones who can make money out of the market, we keep betting the moon’s going to stay in the first quarter, ‘cos that’s when Allah says it’s supposed to.
andrea, andrea - we need a counter thingy on this site showing how many days since the publication of that toon with no taigs burning cars. you know the kind of thing:
number of days waiting for plastic turkey apology: 600
number of days waiting for proof of leg amputating & cauterising ordnance that leaves no discernible trace: 32
number of days waiting for catholic toon riots: 7

5700+ years or 15 billion? Something off-topic to ponder over your cornflakes.
The year number on the Jewish calendar represents the number of years since creation, calculated by adding up the ages of people in the Bible back to the time of creation.
However, this does not necessarily mean that the universe has existed for only 5700 years as we understand years. Even Orthodox Jews will readily acknowledge that the first six “days” of creation are not necessarily 24-hour days (indeed, a 24-hour day would be meaningless until the creation of the sun on the fourth “day”).
There are “two calendars”:
[open quote aish.com]There are early Jewish sources that tell us that the Bible’s calendar is in two-parts (even predating Leviticus Rabba which goes back almost 1500 years and says it explicitly). In the closing speech that Moses makes to the people, he says if you want to see the fingerprint of God in the universe, “consider the days of old, the years of the many generations” (Deut. 32:7) Nachmanides, in the name of Kabbalah, says, “Why does Moses break the calendar into two parts—‘The days of old, and the years of the many generations?’ Because, ‘Consider the days of old’ is the Six Days of Genesis. ‘The years of the many generations’ is all the time from Adam forward.” [end quote aish.com]
For a fascinating (albeit somewhat defensive) article by a nuclear physicist showing how Einstein’s Theory of Relativity sheds light on the correspondence between the Torah’s age of the universe and the age ascertained by science, see “Age of the Universe” .

Posted by MentalFloss on 2006 09 19 at 04:28 PM • permalink#37 Urban myth alert! Official transcript and the following note at the NASA Lunar surface log site.
[During November 1995, a clever (and slightly risqué) story was widely circulated on the Internet concerning a statement Neil is supposed to have made during the Apollo 11 EVA. At the suggestion of several readers, let me state that Neil never said “Good luck, Mr. Gorsky” at any time during the mission. Indeed, on November 28, 1995, Neil wrote, ” I understand that the joke is a year old. I first heard it in California delivered by (comedian) Buddy Hackett”.]
According to ‘distinguished Oz historian’ Inge Glendennon[?] [never heard of her] the Pope must have made a mistake relying just on ‘an offical document’ for his opinion.
Fran Kelly gave Inge a free run to rubbish the Windschuttle side of the history wars.
Highlights:
Windschuttle ‘needs a controversy to fire him’ and relies too much on dry ‘official documents’, while Henry Reynolds et al all do ‘solid, lucid work’ in contrast, and have established their position by using Aboriginal oral history [though 150 years old now].
So Reynolds was NOT controversial by asserting the genocide of Tasmanian aborigines in many 1000s of undocumentable murders?The history wars were an ‘intellectually unequal debate’. That’s telling them, Inge!!
Even Inge didn’t claim that Robert Mannes’ weak edited book added any cogency to the case against Windschuttle.
Neither does she.. Inge doesn’t LIKE any ‘adversarial squabbles’ in history as they are just ‘wasted effort’.
As long as all historians agree then, history is OK by her..Fran didn’t see any irony here at all…
Not all Muslims are attacking the Pope for his lecture. Mohammed from Iraq the Model takes a look at Muslim history and early wars spread by the Caliphs.
Here we always insist that the greatest miracle of the prophet is the words he was sent with, the same words that tell Muslims to use logic and kindness in their attempts to invite others to the Islamic faith, the same words that discourage them from using a rude or repulsive tone in their conversations.
The sad thing is that in spite of all these advices, most of the common people and the elites choose offensive, rude if not violent reactions as a first measure to counter criticism.It is a long piece but well worth the read. If they Muslim leadership was like Mohammed the Pope would have enjoyed a worthwhile dialogue instead of threats.
The Anchoress blogger writes: . This is Benedict’s blunder, you see. As if he has any control over how the press presents a story:
In clinging to theology and orthodoxy, the bookish Benedict has shown little regard for media management in getting his message across, unlike the communications-savvy John Paul II.The same world media which wimped out on printing a few innocuous Mohammed cartoons to avoid offence, couldn’t wait to headline a Christian leader who, they claim, is not media savvy and so is unnecessarily provocative. Talk about irresponsibility and hypocrisy.
Yesterday’s Australian letters.
Today’s spiritual leaders must exercise common sense and an appreciation of the sensitivities of other beliefs. Whilst most will agree that the Pope has a right to make the comments he did, he stands in a position of great influence and should consider exactly what relevance such historical references have and what part they will play in achieving the goals of unity and peace, particularly in today’s highly volatile climate of extremism and hatred. Zaid Khan
Blakehurst, NSWHmm. I thought today’s highly volatile climate of extremism and hatred was incubated in the RoP. The whole letter is incredible in it’s bleating victimhood.
Re 65: The Pope is a Catholic and not an Islami nor some sort of Universal Unitarian. He is not subject to anybody except His God nor does he have any obligation to to censor what he has every right to say lest others may be offended.
He certainly is not subject to anything in the Koran or Hadiths viz a viz any criticism that may be directed at Mohammed.PS: Have the Islamists now promoted Mohammed to the same level as Allah. Blasphemy is against God not his “messengers”
PS. The Rights I am claiming for the Pope are the same rights I claim for every free man woman or child.
Posted by LaVallette on 2006 09 19 at 09:34 PM • permalinkWow! Hot off the press. Former Archbishop of Canterbury (the highest office in the Anglican Church) has just made a speech vigorously defending the Pope.
He has also uttered the previously unuttered words that
The fundamental problem for the West is not Islamic fundamentalism. It is Islam, a different civilisation whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power.”
Ouch. Strike 2.

If the muslim leadership was of the same quality as the author of Iraq the Model then there’d be no cause for war, the lands of araby would not be a sewer and the populations of the muslim world would not live in daily terror of the religious police.
The author of that site (ITM) lives every day surrounded by the fear, confusion, uncertainty, horror, anxiety and stress of a war being waged all around him, his family and his friends. Even under all that pressure, he is able to maintain a perspective based on the long view and the big picture. His kind are rare to any culture.
