************************************************************* http://ansa.it/main/notizie/awnplus/english/news/2006-02-07_752375.html Youth arrested for priest killing Turkish student confesses to murder of Italian cleric (ANSA) - Rome, February 7 - A Turkish youth reportedly linked to organised crime has confessed to killing Italian priest Andrea Santoro two days ago, according to judicial sources in the northern town of Trabzon . ... After confessing to the murder, Akdi said that he had been enraged by the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in the European press, NTV reported . It was unclear whether Turkish police saw this as the real motive for the killing. ************************************************************* Yes. An open confession should never be accepted, after all. That would just be silly. Brian? Comments? Geoff
It's not like muslims would actually kill someone because they heard about some kid on the other side of the world that made a drawing of allah, I mean... Islam is a peaceful religion and all lol... Basic summary of what Brian is going to say: t3h whities did it! omg teh palestinians pwn, teh jews suck!1
I guess we have misled people in all religions. Christians blowing up abortion clinics and murdering gays.
Yes... Most people are misled, in all countries and religions in the world. But, what is the definition of "misled"? There is no definition, it only exists in our heads.
Yes, because there's been sooo much of that. Especially compared to what happens under sharia on a daily basis. Yet islam says that sharia is the perfect system. Why can it never be implemented perfectly? One is forced to wonder if the problem isn't the application. Geoff
As for the youth. Looks like he was murdered by organised crime for interfering with their sex rackets , and the killer used the cartoons as an excuse rather than incriminate his mafia aides. The only murders so far due to these cartoons have been done by NATO , and not by Moslem fanatics . Its been 2 weeks , and your prediction of acts of mass murder and lych mobs has resulted in one arrest of a 16 year old Turk with a twitch who shot a priest , thats some example of Islamic wrath . Hmmmm way to go Geoff ! Tell boys down at your local Synagogue about the graet clash between Christianity and Islam .
LOL - silly Brian. You said "no" deaths, not "only a couple". Frankly I would have thought even one too much for you. But, after all, since you hate Jews and Arabs both, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You're also forgetting the deaths of rioters in Afghanistan etc - but now I'm forgetting that you don't care. Silly me. No, the priest was murdered exactly as the defendant confessed to (against the wishes of the police, I might add): the cartoons. I realize sitting in the bunker all day may make you a bit paranoid, but I think we can at least accept the guy at his word. What, after all, would he stand to gain? By the by - clash-of-civilizations and all: have you even been watching the news? Don't tell me the bunker doesn't get CNN. Geoff
Okay, so Geoff wins this round with a whopping one death from the Muslims over these cartoons. Mind you, this kid wasn't apart of the rioting, he killed the guy on his own, by himself. Big whoop. Not bad for all the rioting going on. Heck, hippies have caused more damage and deaths in some of their past riots than this world-wide one. - N
Acutally Neildo, there's been about ten. Some people don't care. I ask: why? To what end? And I don't recall hippies burning embassies and calling for the decapitation of people who humiliate their 'prophets'. And who would those be? Jim Morrison? To those who cannot see the bigger picture I abjure: look around. Geoff
