"We carried out this shooting because of the pope's statement, and he must apologise," the caller, who refused to give his name, told AFP Saturday.
The attack came a day after a grenade exploded outside the same church and four days after the pope criticised connections between Islam and violence, particularly with regard to jihad, or "holy war".
A HARDLINE cleric linked to Somalia's powerful Islamist movement has called for Muslims to "hunt down" and kill Pope Benedict XVI for his controversial comments about Islam.Baseless - LOL!
Sheikh Abubukar Hassan Malin urged Muslims to find the pontiff and punish him for insulting the Prophet Mohammed and Allah in a speech that he said was as offensive as author Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses.
"We urge you Muslims wherever you are to hunt down the Pope for his barbaric statements as you have pursued Salman Rushdie, the enemy of Allah who offended our religion," he said in Friday evening prayers.
"Whoever offends our Prophet Mohammed should be killed on the spot by the nearest Muslim," Malin, a prominent cleric in the Somali capital, told worshippers at a mosque in southern Mogadishu.
"We call on all Islamic Communities across the world to take revenge on the baseless critic called the pope," he said.
'Down Down secular democracy, and punish the slanderers of Prophet Mohammed'. A Muslim twisting the words of the prophet to be violent when he really said nice fluffy things
Iraqi based terror group threaten Vatican and Rome
"We swear that we will destroy their cross in the heart of Rome ... and that their Vatican will be hit and wept over by the Pope," said Jaish al-Mujahideen (the Mujahideen's Army) in the statement, whose authenticity could not be confirmed.
"We will not rest until your thrones and your crosses have been destroyed on your own territory," said the group, which has claimed many attacks against US and government forces in Iraq.

When are people going to realize the issue is bigger than they want to admit. The Islamic Movement is not about a separate state for the Palestinian people. The Islamic Movement is about domination. Google the word "dhimmi" and "jizyah". You will begin to understand. Jerusalem and all of Israel has no place in the Islamic world view. They are occupiers. Interlopers.
50,000 Muslims in attendance at the Islamic Movement's 11th Annual Rally. It is one obscure Islamic rally. A key speaker states that Jerusalem will be the center of the coming Islamic Caliphate. I find it amusing that people across the world see and hear the Islamist people of the world reacting to various events with immense fervour. Many times with outright death and mayhem threats to the non-muslim world. Liberals say that the West should abandon Israel and all will be well. Really? Liberals say that extremists in the Islamic world are small in number. Really? Liberals claim that extremist Islamists are no real threat. Hmmm? Box Cutters and a vision proved this theory wrong. Imagine Ahmadinejad with nuclear weapons. Peace and Justice Mr. Ahmadinejad?
These views, hopes, and aspirations are shared throughout the entire Islamic world. If you doubt, research the mindset of "Joe Islamist". It is there for you to see. As a worldwide community, they are very open regarding their beliefs and desires. When confronted on blogs or in conversation, Islamists will obfuscate immediately. Remember the Wizard of Oz scene, "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"? Look up the term, al-Taqiyya.
The west is being conquered slowly. We are subjecting out of ignorance and fear. Read the following articles: http://www.religionnewsblog.com/15620 describes five year old UK girl's passport photo being banned because it might offend Muslims, http://www.danielpipes.org/article/1796 descibes the Islamification of Europe, http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6075032 NPR has no clue what we are up against, and http://www.ijtihad.org/Secularism.htm article by Dr. Muqtedar Khan regarding religion, life and politics are irrevocably intertwined.
Remember: Peace can only follow Victory.

Well, Jonz, they've convinced me. They are not violent. Not at all.
*sigh*...I see in this morning's news that the Vatican has apologised.
Dammit. Does nobody have the stomach for this fight?
hehe Pastorius.
We do kg. Kicking up a fuss.
The only apology was for the fact that the comment upset Muslims THAT MUCH. If they had paid attention to his whole speech, they would see that they are being hypocritical on an even deeper level than it first seemed. The entire discussion centered on the spread of faith through violence, a historic fact to the spread of Islam, yet a tenet of the Muslim faith that Muslims VEHEMENTLY deny today. But as Jonz said, they just had to prove him wrong. No surprises here.
Yeah hunt down the pope...
I assume he can normally be found in the Vatican. Or on one of his never publicized trips to foreign countries. You know the ones that never make it onto TV.
Hunt him down like Salman Rushdie...
Yeah do just that. Salman Rushdie who is still publishing novels. Salman Rushdie who seems in good health years after the Ayatollah is cold in the ground.
The Koranimals are more to be pitied than laughed at. They are truly beyond contempt.
The first wife of prophet Muhammad was sheep, you know that? Sonce that time every muslim have to couple with sheep or donkey to prove his faith. Allakh Akbar! Allah Akbar! Where is my Dolly? I have to prove my faith right now! (running away)
