This isn't a country you're dealing with - it doesn't matter what nationality or what race, the call is going out to all Muslims everywhere. Plenty of aggressive and angry young men out there listening.

Pope Francis is at risk of an assassination attempt by ISIS extremists, the Vatican has been warned before his first visit to a Muslim-majority country this weekend. Iraq’s ambassador to the Holy See said yesterday that there were credible threats to the Pope’s life as he prepares to visit Albania on Sunday. The 77-year-old pontiff could also be vulnerable when he travels to Turkey in November, Habeeb al-Sadr said. Jihadists from Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham have in recent weeks boasted of wanting to extend their so-called caliphate to Rome, and have talked of planting the jihadi black flag on top of St Peter’s Basilica. Mr. Sadr said there were also indications of a more specific threat against the Pope, who he said had made himself a target by speaking out against abuses committed against Christians in Syria and Iraq, as well as expressing his support for the US in its efforts to halt the advance of ISIS. “What has been declared by the self-declared Islamic State is clear: they want to kill the Pope. The threats against the Pope are credible,” the ambassador told Italy’s La Nazione newspaper yesterday. “I believe they could try to kill him during one of his overseas trips or even in Rome. There are members of ISIS who are not Arabs but Canadian, American, French, British, also Italians. ISIS could engage any of these to commit a terrorist attack in Europe.”

Hopefully it does enough to bring him to the Hague. As for him being the Middle East peace envoy, I mean WTF?

Of course it's just a PR move by them too to placate the Americans. Saudi is a bit like Pakistan, and ally in the 'war on terror' that is actually it's worst offender, but they need to sell oil and the US need local bases so each side turns a blind eye. If you really wanted to end the war on terror you bomb the Saudi's first, they and the likes of Qatar are funding it.

I don't think he was the first and the last who will be attacked this way on a street in a western style country. One wouldn't have though Australia would be facing this frightening prospect that was uncovered.
