Gunmen have shot dead

… an elderly Italian nun and her bodyguard in the Somali capital Mogadishu.
The attackers shot the nun three times in the back at a children’s hospital in the south of the city, before fleeing the scene.
It is unclear if the shooting is connected with strong criticism by a radical Somali cleric about the Pope’s recent comments on Islam.

Allah Akbar.

  1. Kate, Raymond and other posters:
    Citing atrocities such as elderly nun in Somalia shot in back by extremists. And another report that elderly priest was murdered in Turkey as reaction to Pope’s lecture in Germany. Now reports of Christian churches being attacked in West Bank and Israel.
    WHAT ABOUT developing and posting LONG LIST NOW OF ATROCITIES including complete list of every suicide bombing event in ME since Infitada.
    The lengthy list alone could be main drawing card at every CF recruitment site across country.
    If I’m not mistaken info has been documented. Public display of it is what’s needed.
    Perhaps a link of this documentation added in your sidebar, Kate? for handy reference inspiring appropriate outrage?

  6. Farce as prelude to tragedy
    A Catholic Londoner describes his experience at Sunday Mass in Merry Olde England.
    I thought I’d refrain from posting anything substantial about this uproar about the Pope’s speech, since I’m sure other bloggers can put things more eloquently than me. ( here and here and here : “If the Pope does not appear on TV and apologise … we will blow up all of Gaza’s Churches” and here: a priest’s calm take on things.).
    Unfortunately after Mass today at Westminster Cathedral it was shoved in my face.
    …….
    Commentary
    If you look very carefully at the pictures at a Catholic Londoner it will be obvious that this demonstration at a church is as much about gangsterism and intimidation than anything else. And it’s a gangersterism — under color of religion — fueled almost entirely by Western political correctness and a refusal to insist upon basic reciprocal civility. This is learned behavior, the kind of behavior that is practically invited by the sickening double standards of modern “enlighted” attitudes. Compare the pictures above with the ones below.
    British police officers speak to Iranian Reza Moradi, 29, who displayed a banner containing the controversial Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, at a demonstration rally supporting freedom of expression in Trafalgar Square, London, Saturday March 25, 2006. About 200 people held a free-speech demonstration in central London on Saturday, with several displaying posters of the cartoons that infuriated much of the Muslim world.
    Man warned against displaying American flag
    This will eventually result in catastrophe. And the worst of it is that the very same people who precipitated it will express shock and horror at what they have unwittingly — or wittingly — wrought. Of the Left it may truly be said, they have “learned nothing and forgotten nothing.”

  7. Well, wittingly or unwittingly, the Pope has stepped in it, insofar as Christian/Islamic relations go. But in actual fact, his statement hit the nail right on the head, so what has he got to apologize about? Islam will scream, riot, and murder at the slightest provocation, real or imagined.
    IMO, the Pope got it right the first time around:
    Islam is a violent religion.
    The violent response from the Islamic world to his speach simply proves him right. No apologies required.

    Excerpt
    My second day back, I was invited to meet Joe in his office. Before sitting down, his E.A. questioned me on where I stood on the leadership within the federal scene (this was back in September, 1999). I told him staunchly that I supported the prime minister, and despite a couple more attempts to pump me for information, I stayed true to the fact that I didn’t want to see Jean Chretien go anywhere.
    I finally got in to meet Joe, and within 10 minutes, he was already talking pretty frankly about his own party’s leadership (he didn’t know me from a hole in the wall). He then subsequently relayed how his staff, from time to time, helped out his cousin Tony Ianno, who at the time was an Ontario MP thick in the organizing of Paul Martin’s coup. It was indicated to me that I would be expected to do the same should I join his office.
    The next day I was offered the job, and for obvious reasons, I turned it down. I was not prepared to to take a job to organize against the most successful prime minister in a generation – a man I had ultimate respect for – regardless of how much they were going to pay me.
    Of course, about six months after this incident, the national biennial convention witnessed Mr. Ianno led 15 MP’s in a secret airport gathering to discuss how to best get rid of Mr. Chretien. This get together, as well as the way that the Martin forces treated Jean at the convention, was the catalyst to convince him to stay on for a third election, where he won his largest majority in the fall of 2000.
    As I have said before, I don’t use jobs or money as my motivation in this crazy game of politics. The years I spent fighting against the eventual winner of the last leadership “contest” proves that in spades, and this story is just another example of the way that I operate. Thus, I find it ammusing when I am called an opportunist for supporting Michael Ignatieff, because at the end of the day, that has never been my style..
    Off to an early breakfast meeting – I will check in later in the day. …-

  15. To Bryceman, re:gun control.
    Normally I take the role of defending the rights of the citizen to make his or her own responsible choices. In this case I have to take a more ecologically responsible stance. Simply put, there are too many variables and subsequent interactions to control or predict that it’s better to err on the side of gun restriction.
    OK that wasn’t simple. Think of an ecosystem where there are many animals and plants all interacting with one another. Even scientists who have studied a particular system for a lifetime are unable to understand and accurately predict it’s complex function. Most of the analysis takes place in the form of taking an animal out of the system. Then the individual is poked and prodded and left to wake up and run away. How can an approach like this tell us about the likelyhood of a moose to jump off a cliff?
    Perhaps you live in Nunavut and require some defence against the tenacious polar bears. Perhaps your grocery store is all out of meat. Maybe you’re lucky enough to go to Afganistan. These things do happen, but fortunately not to many. So the many, do not need guns.
    Proudly donate your precious heirloom guns to a museum. They’ll probably give you a nice brass plaque you can shine.
