[QUOTE]Habeeb Al Sadr warns that Isil's "band of criminals" could have Pope Francis in its sights, ahead of the pontiff's visits to Albania and Turkey.
Pope Francis is at risk of an assassination attempt by the Islamic extremists of Isil, the Vatican has been warned, ahead of his first visit to a Muslim-majority country this weekend.
As the 77-year-old pontiff prepares to travel to Albania on Sunday for a one-day visit, [B]Iraq's ambassador[/B] to the Holy See said there were[B] credible threats [/B]against the pontiff's life.
The leader of the Roman Catholic Church could also be vulnerable when he travels to Turkey in November, the ambassador said.
Jihadists from Isil have in recent weeks boasted of wanting to extend their caliphate to Rome, the heart of Western Christendom, and have talked of planting the jihadist black flag on top of St Peter's Basilica.

Just to point out that Medevila's post [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1421281&highlight=pope"]a few weeks back[/URL] was from vaguer sources.. not from Iraq's ambassador.
IRA should help protect the pope.
IT BEGINS ~!

Yeah yeah "assassinate the pope" you keep thinking that ISIS because it's never going to happen, and if it did you'd all be dead a day afterwards from all the extremely pissed off people.
If it did happen, even a attempt, I can only hope this happens.

I really want them to try that.
If that happens there's no question ISIS soldiers will be actively hunted and killed.
Alright, ISIS, I see where this is going. Prepare for DEUS VULT!

God that was awesome. Honestly though, IRA would probably wipe the floor with the Taliban.
Of course ISIS wants to kill the Pope, why wouldn't they? they hate everyone who isn't them.
I see a thousand years of darkness incoming through religious wars and newborn racism if Francis gets it.
If history is anything to go by.. you don't want to piss off the Catholics.

Aw mate, are you guys ready for a fucking Crusade?
[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;46042135]Time to post the IRA vs Taliban thing.[/QUOTE]
I guess this falls into the "so cheesy it's good" category.
in the rare event ISIS manages to do it, I'm pretty sure it would spell the actual end for them in a very serious fight.
Good luck. You can't kill someone who is protected by god. Oh wait...

Considering they would piss off [b]at least[/b] 1/7th of the world's population, they would be running out of allies real shortly.

normally id say so, but this pope hasn't allowed his security to put him behind layers of bullet proof glass or even basic cordons, he's probably the most accessable figure on the world stage, not saying there wouldn't be a massive shitstorm if they did anything but he's not nearly as protected as other government people

Gee a religious radical group is interested in killing the head of an opposing religion.

there's a difference between what is probably true vs. actually making claims that they want to do it
