Post # 203 ROP Chronicles..Orthodox Priest Beheaded In Iraq

These imbeciles might have considered an "Orthodox priest" and the Pope probably have less in common than Jerry Falwell and Charles Darwin but why let facts get in the way of a good beheading.

MOSUL, Iraq -- Relatives of a beheaded Iraqi priest said his captors had demanded a church apology for recent papal comments about Islam.

They said the Orthodox priest was abducted Sunday by an unidentified group, which demanded a ransom. The kidnappers also wanted the priest's church to condemn controversial recent remarks by Pope Benedict. In a speech last month, the pope quoted a medieval text describing
Islam as a religion spread by the sword.

The relatives said the priest's church had already posted signs condemning the pope's statement. A similar message was posted again after the abduction.
