    'Negotiate' with al-Qaida?

    Al-Qaida in Iraq and its allies warned Pope Benedict XVI on Monday that he and the West were "doomed" and proclaimed that the holy war would continue until Islam dominates the world.

    "You infidels and despotic, we will continue our jihad and never stop until God avails us to CHOP YOUR NECKS and raise the fluttering banner of monotheism when God's rule is established governing all people and nations," the statement said.

    All you liberals out there, please feel free to 'negotiate' with these freaks.
