    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.

    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.

    Reached by telephone on Saturday, Malin confirmed making the remarks that were echoed in less strident form by other senior clerics in the Supreme Islamic Council of Somalia (SICS).http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/somali-cleric-calls-for-popes-death/2006/09/16/1158334739295.html

    Calling for someone else's death is the cornerstone of many religion these days...
    When did that change come about I wonder?

    Gunmen shot and killed the nun, who worked at a children's hospital in north Mogadishu, and her bodyguard.

    Well this is proof right here that Islam is essentially a religion of evil. It's not just extremist nut cases that say this kind of thing in Islam. This is essentiall the mainstreme opinion. Yup, lets kill the Pope, that'll prove to the world that Islam is a religion of non-violence.
