Would Terrorists have Seriously Considered Attacking the Popes Funeral?
Surely youd have to be a few Sandwhiches short of a Lunch to do it!

I very highly doubt it, terrorists are mostly interested in gaining support and followers for their cause, that and performing actions for that cause, but I just can't see how attacking a funeral would accomplish either, even if it is the Pope.

The two key words are 'Seriously' and 'Considered'. Considered, probably - Seriously, no. Not enough time to prepare for an attack that would require such large scale planning.

The pope isn't hated by islamic terrorists, the taliban respect him, so no, not likely.

Maybe. Osama's still pissed off about muslims being kicked out of Spain in the 1400s. He's probably still steamed about the Catholic church's crusades.

I think the purpose would be to eliminate leaders of countries that they strongly dislike. Many of the World's leaders attended the funeral.

If that happened there could be repercussions and backlash around teh world. I seriously doubt anything is going to happen.

Although New Zealand is part of the Axis of Evil for apparently supporting Hamas!

The name 'Michael Stone' doesn't ring any bells with you, does it?

OMFG! That would be aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawesome! I'm so sick of "Boo-hoo! The Pope is dead. He changed the lives of millions." Whoop-de-friggin'-do. So did Hitler.

That's a little cruel Zotona, I'm not a supporter either, let's see he was basically against everything I stand for, communism, atheism, stem cell reasearch but come on, over a billion people thought he was great enough to follow him religiously, have a care, now when a couple months have passed and this is still going, then you can complain, I know I will.

Does that lessen the impact of what he did?

I'd take stem cell research off your list. In recent months a few techniques have been developed to extract stem cells that don't involve killing a human fetus. I believe that skin cells, a few organ cells, brain cells, and muscle cells (smooth I think) can be gotten from them. That might not be a complete list, but those are some of the major ones.

Okay, stem research is more or less off the list, just because it's changed doesn't mean he changed his stance. (He may have, I really don't know.)

It just so happens that no matter who it is who dies, people like pretend that they care, and that the person who died was a wonderful person, regardless of how they acted in life. I know this for a fact. Don't tell me I'm cruel because I find this disgusting. You would, too, if you saw someone who neglected you and mistreated being "honored' and compared to a saint when THEY died, all the while you wishing you could have been the one to kill them. The Pope's beliefs and hatred when directly against ME. I'm glad he's dead. Only... what... 6 billion more people to go before the world is cleansed of human stupidity, egotism, etc.?

What exactly happened to you?

Now, that's very cruel, I'm as aware of these things as you must be, I'm one of the ones you might screaming and yelling that it's everyone else's fault, but like I said I don't support the Pope, and btw how do you come up with 6 billion since I'm guessing that would include you.
