If you only get your news from main stream media sources, it might seem strange to you that Muslims are still threatening to kill the Pope. You’d think they would get over this kind of thing:

Turkey: Muslim vows to ‘strangle’ Pope – Police on Thursday detained a man who fired shots into the air outside the Italian consulate to protest an upcoming visit by Pope Benedict XVI, and the suspect later told a television reporter he wanted to “strangle” the pope with his bare hands. “I don’t want him here, if he was here now I would strangle him with my bare hands,” the suspect, who identified himself as Ibrahim Ak, 26, told a Dogan news agency television cameraman as he was detained by police. “I fired the shots for God,” Ak said as he sat handcuffed inside a police van outside the consulate. “Inshallah (God willing), this will be a spark, a starter for Muslims.” “God willing, he will not come. If he comes, he will see what will happen to him,” Ak said.

But consider: Al Qaeda has been quite clear that the mass murder of 3/11 was triggered in part because they were still pissed off over the expulsion of the Moors in 1492. So these fanatics seem to have what some might call “anger issues”. More precisely, it’s resentment that has oozed and hardened in every crack of their identity. Nietzsche was very clear – and very right – about the kind of rot that resentment inspires. And this is a resentment that they have been nurturing in one form or another for centuries.

So yeah, people still being pissed off at the Pope isn’t really all that surprising.
