Bin Laden blames the Pope
The news gave me a chill.
In an audio recording posted on the Internet coinciding with the birthday of Islam’s founder, bin Laden said the drawings, considered offensive by Muslims, were part of a “new crusade” in which Pope Benedict was involved.
“Your publications of these drawings — part of a new crusade in which the Pope of the Vatican had a significant role — is a confirmation from you that the war continues,” said the Saudi-born militant leader, addressing “those who are wise at the European Union”. - Reuters
Bin Laden is a liar and knows the Holy Father is a man of peace - which is why he wants to kill him. When I imagine Benedict XVI visiting Ground Zero in NYC this April, I cannot help but think of the vision of the third secret of Fatima, as well as the dream of Don Bosco. I hope everyone will pray very much for the Holy Father.

I, too, fear, with just cause (statements from OBL), that the Holy Father’s life is in constant danger—and he still appears in public, calm and kind—amazing—a witness to the Gospel. Love personified.

Bin Laden has quite a bit of paranoia–I suspect he has a mental illness, perhaps schizophrenia–I will pray for the Pope’s safety in New York!
