The Christian street has responded with outrage to a sculpture of a crucified frog on display at a museum in Italy.

Demonstrators gathered in cities with heavily Christian populations over the weekend, burning Italian flags and waving signs that read All Who Mock Christ Will Be Beheaded and A Crusade On Italy!

Christian leaders Billy Graham and Pope Benedict called for "unending holy war" against the perpetrators of "this decadent insult to Christianity." A top Catholic official, appearing on Vatican-TV, said "The Christian world will not rest until the streets run red with the blood of these godless infidel art boosters. The voices of those who will not bow before Christ must be silenced."

Or, not.

No, no, no, wait. It's not Christians who respond with unhinged violence against those who mock and deride their faith. I must be confusing Christians with people who practice the "Religion Of Peace."
