In Poland, Machina magazine published cover art of pop celebrity Madonna's face superimposed on the Virgin Mary this week. The face of one of her children is superimposed on the figure of the baby Jesus:
Poland's Roman Catholics expressed outrage on Thursday after a magazine published a picture of the much-revered icon of the Black Madonna with pop icon Madonna's face transposed on to it.
"We are shocked to see, yet again, the miraculous icon of the mother of God used in a [profane] way for advertising and business purposes," said Paulinian monks at Jasna Gora monastery in the southern city of Czestochowa, who are custodians of the icon that Poles believe was painted by St Luke the Evangelist...The icon, along with the crucifix and the Bible, are key symbols of faith for all Christians."

But calls to behead the magazine's publisher, execute the artists, and annihilate Poland have been noticeably absent.

-
How dare they! Burn them witches!
-
This is an outrage, lets burn the Polish embassy!
Wait...Im betting they have a wooden embassy building :D

If it's war with Catholics they want, then war they will get!!! Pop Star Madona must die and anyone who listens to her music should be beheaded!!! They are all the devil!!!!

Seething Midwest Explodes Over Lombardi Cartoons
Green Bay, WI - Like a pot of bratwurst left unattended at a Lambeau Field pregame party, simmering tensions in the strife-torn Midwest boiled over once again today as rioting mobs of green-and-gold clad youth and plump farm wives rampaged through Wisconsin Denny’s and IHOPs, burning Texas toast and demanding apologies and extra half-and-half.

Cartoon that shocked Midwest
The spark igniting the latest tailgate hibachi of unrest: a Texas newsletter's publication of caricatures of legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi.
Protestors demonstrated against the images throughout the Badger State yesterday, with violent egging and cow-tipping incidents reported in Oconomowac, Pewaukee, Sheboygan, Ozaukee, Antigo, Oshkosh, Waubeno, Wauwautosa, Waunewoc, Wyocena, Waubeka, and Washawonamowackapeepee.
Some of the most dramatic skirmishes were centered around Kenosha, where a mob of masked snowmobilers invaded the Texas Roadhouse on I-94, briefly holding the margarita machine hostage. They were later seen storming the beverage department at Woodman's, where they purchased several cases of Point and a pack of Merit menthols, and later at the Brat Stop classic rock/sausage outlet, where they were reported angrily "boogie-ing out" on air guitar to featured entertainment Molly Hatchett.
But by far the fiercest demonstration took place in Green Bay's Lambeau Shrine parking lot where throngs of Packer faithful burned Texas flags and effigies of Roger Staubach as Lutheran pastors led them in chants of "Those who defame the Vince suck" and "Favre is Great." Many of the frenzied demonstrators were seen ritualistically beating themselves with mozzarella sticks.
The crowd eventually dispersed, lured away by local supper clubs and the nickel slots of nearby Oneida Bingo Casino, but Pastor Doug Schmidtke of Fond Du Lac's Grand Lutheran Temple threatened continued community unrest "until the infidels of Texas deliver an apology. And the head of Tom Landry in a paper bag."
While the curd-strewn streets of Green Bay remain calm for the moment, a startled Texas government official -- speaking on terms of anonymity -- said that they would work with other developed states to find a solution to tensions "before the situation erupts into a full-fledged clash of civilizations."

I don't think it will be big at all. It's not like the catholics are muslims or anything. ;)

You really are missing the point, Ramzey. You see, you're supposed to compare this to the recent events that involve Muslims doing stupid and violent things in response to a cartoon. Once you've done that, you can post your feelings about the stupid Muslims and have a ten page thread full of people agreeing that rioting against a stupid cartoon is really stupid. Please try and keep up.
-
Well, you could be wrong
search for "moherowe berety", pro catolic organisations are very strong right now
Somtimes im scary reading Polish news about whats is going on there

If there's something to be wrong about Poland, then it's quite likely that I am. I only know one Polish guy, and he's just a wetbag. ;)

polish catholics are not going to burn down anyone's embassy or make death threats over something like this
(there was much worse in Peter Blaty's "The Excorcist" than this) All they did was an advisement against catholics seeing the movie

Where in the Bobby Sands* quote on that poster does it say anything about killing blasphemous infidels? Even though there was the catholic vs protestant thread, it was also the protestant counties in the north that kept British presence on the island, something that the IRA found unacceptable.
Seems more political than religious to me.
*Bobby Sands was an idiot

hmm what ever happened to I.R.A.? They're not getting media attention lately...

Your completly wrong. It is a nd will be big in Poland.
Just look the the current Polish governement.

You guys really think that the same thing that is going on all over the muslim world will happen in poland because of a magazine cover with Madonna on it?
Please.....
You will not hear catholic preists calling for the beheadings of magazine publishers and artists. You will not see catholics in the streat rioting and burning down embasys. It just wont happen....not over a cartoon.

Don't throw in red herrings, Staga. The IRA for all their faults were not anti Protestant but anti British.
IK3 the IRA have disarmed (mostly). Their war is over. Now they just run rackets and other criminal pursuits while killing the odd person, mostly Catholic, who offend them.

I think everyone needs a hobby.

What I don't understand is how you can tell if a crowd of muslims are angry or happy.
When they are angry they shoot guns and burn things and when they are happy they.....uh.....well shoot guns and burn things.
Just think about how confusing it is for them.
Ackmed leaves a towlhead shop into a screaming crowd and wonders to himself am I happy or angry? Confused he asks the closest man to him "Are we angry or happy?" the man replies " I don't know I just got here myself". So Ackmed shrugs his shoulders and thinks "Eh it doesn't matter" so he fires a few rounds into the air and screams "Deth to Ameerika".

Both Staga. They are also against Muslims who are pro western.

I'd say that this issue doesn't really relate to westerners nor religions - it's about the cultures. Good example of this is the moderate western muslims versus the aggressive middle eastern muslims - It's not the religion, it's the culture.
Same thing has been going on in Ireland - it is due to cultural and historical issues, not about the religions. They constantly divide themselves into two groups and keep hostilities up by refering to the historical disputes and each time there'll be more blood shed added into the history.

I still find it a might hilarious that some of you continue to compare a VAST amount of fanatic muslims located around the entire GLOBE to a small amounts of Catholics on a tiny island of Ireland.
The IRA respons to islamo fascism is getting as old as it is laughable.
