Pope Benedict arrived in Lebanon today as violent protests swept across the Middle East.
Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Lebanon today and urged peace at a time of great turmoil in the Middle East. The trip will take the pope to the nation with the largest percentage of Christians in the Middle East — nearly 40 percent of Lebanon’s 4 million people, with Maronite Catholics the largest sect.
Violence broke out in Tripoli as Pope Benedict arrived.
Hundreds of protesters set alight a Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Hardee’s restaurant in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli on Friday, witnesses said, chanting against the pope’s visit to Lebanon and shouting anti-U.S. slogans.

Does the Pope really think that his visit to the Middle East will promote peace?

Cock crowing chicken sacrifice is biblically appropriate in a land that denies Christ, but it is also a sign of a pending disaster.

Just what the world needs to trigger Armageddon….as Iran perfects the atomic bomb….and the Islamic world all in a rage…the potential for the Pope’s guard to be overrun by an angry mob of Islamists and his head cut off and stuck on a post…..I congradulate the Pope’s sense of timing and his courage to follow in the footsteps of his Master…..Cue Dr. Strangelove…> http://youtu.be/JlSQAZEp3PA

@#6
Christians throughout the region are under attack…He is saying to them “Be Not Afraid”
I am Catholic and have been praying for Pope Benedict…His courage & message will soothe his frightened flock throughout the region.
That is why he is there….That is why he sits in St. Peter’s Chair.
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? – Romans 8:31

1. Good luck your Holiness and may your efforts be successful. Please take care.
2. For those wondering whether a Hardees ‘monster burger’ was halal, I think that we now know.

[“The U.S. President, Barack Obama, has concealed the true leader of the
Muslim Brotherhood and these days it is showing no shame with its undue
pressure on the junta to leave it that way to the Muslim Brotherhood.” To
speak thus is a liberal parties close to the Egyptian activist who organized
the first demonstrations in Egypt believe that they can transform their
country into a democracy.
The activist, who requested anonymity for fear of reprisals, continues the
conversation with a group of Western journalists flocked to an impromptu
press conference just off Tahrir Square where Salafis are gathering to
demand that the military junta to hand over the country Their candidate,
Mohammad Morsi. “The President of the United States has hijacked the
revolution and was diverted into the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood”
continues the representative of Egyptian liberal parties. “The more time
passes the more it becomes clear that from the beginning of Barack
Obama’s plan was to give Egypt the Muslim Brotherhood and we prove
it is that it is exerting tremendous pressure on the junta to recognize
bites as the winner of parliamentary elections, even before the Election
Commission to issue its verdict.“]

Obama : 9/11
[Now it’s learned that President Obama appeared on the DJ Laz Morning
Show in Miami, FL and, although it was his first opportunity to speak
publicly on the anniversary of 9-11, he spoke of the Miami Dolphins, he
spoke of College Loan reform, he spoke of his campaign, but he left out
the day that changed America forever.]
Zawahiri : 9/11
[Al-Qaeda’s leader Ayman al-Zawahiri has confirmed the death of his
deputy Abu Yahya al-Libi, who was killed in a drone strike in Pakistan
this summer. The video confirming his death was released on jihadist
forums to coincide with the 9/11 anniversary.]
Arab Forum : 9/11
[Not only is Barack Obama violating his pledge not to campaign on 9/11,
but he is also using the day to issue greetings to the Arab Forum on Asset
Recovery, seemingly oblivious to the importance and solemnity of the day,
as well as the context of his message.]
