Take that Islamo-Enviromento-Crazies.

This is great y'all. We finally have a nonpolitically correct spokesman for the Catholic Church. It's none other than Cardinal George Pell of Sydney. Not only does he deliver strike at "The Peaceful Religion of Islam", he puts down wacky environmentalist. Here's a blurb about what he's saying:


"The Catholic Archbishop of Sydney, Cardinal George Pell, has angered Australian Muslims with his description of their holy book as an incitement to violence. In a speech delivered to a group of Catholic business leaders at the Legatus summit in the United States, the Archbishop also took aim at what he claimed were hysterical and extreme claims about global warming.
Dr Pell's central argument is that an understanding of Islam is vital for the future of western democracies. September 11, according to the Cardinal, was a wake-up call that prompted him to dust off a copy of the Koran.
"I recommend that you too read this sacred text of the Muslims, because the challenge of Islam will be with us for the remainder of our lives," he said.
Cardinal Pell says the Koran is riddled with so many invocations to violence that after about 50 or 60 or 70 pages, he stopped taking notes of them.
He also says that considered strictly on its own terms, Islam is not a tolerant religion and its capacity for far-reaching renovation is severely limited.
He points to the difficulty that scholars and commentators face when analyzing the Koran, such as receiving death threats and violence when questioning the divine origin of the holy book." Cardinal Pell also spoke about the environment, in response to recent worries expressed about global warming:
The Cardinal's speech described concerns about global warming as "hysteric and extreme".
He says these worries are a symptom of pagan emptiness.
Cardinal Pell says in the past, pagans sacrificed animals and even humans in vain attempts to placate the gods, but today they demand a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions."


Booya.

Wasn't one of Kevin's friends pagan? Did he sacrifice animals?

All man, I forgot about that guy.
I remember he had a huge pagan goat tatoo across his back. I don't know what entailed in his worshipping habits. But, he liked to fix cars, drink Irish Car Bombs, and wear old timie golfer hats.
