Italy arrests Moroccans for inciting hatred of Pope

Six Moroccan men have been arrested in northern Italy on suspicion of seeking to incite hatred of Pope Benedict among Muslims.

Police in the city of Brescia said the suspects had allegedly banded together to stir up religious hatred.

A note was found calling for the Pope to be punished for converting a Muslim journalist to Roman Catholicism.

According to another source, the suspects are not suspected of planning attacks.

when someone goes apostate? I'm not sure.

But I'm sure it's probably fairly nutsy-doodle, looking at it from way over here in 2011.
