The Jihad Continues

A Catholic priest serving in Turkey was shot and killed on Sunday; authorities are searching for a 14 or 15 year old boy who was seen leaving the scene shouting "Allah Akbar" which means "God is great". Authorities won't say if this incident is related to the cartoon controversy...

More from the AP:

- Lebanon apologizes to Denmark the day after demonstrators burned down the Danish embassy in Beirut...

- Protestors in Tehran throw stones and set small fires at the Austrian embassy after an Austrian newspaper published the cartoons...

- Danish troops in Iraq are fired upon as they try to aid children injured in an accident...

- Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul says media freedoms cannot be limitless, and that hostility against Muslims is replacing anti-Semitism in the West...

Well, shit, Abdullah. Guess we can't have that, now can we?

Yeah, I know, that was a little snarky. I guess dead Catholic priests and soldiers getting fired upon while helping children just rubs me the wrong way...
