How many people will be killed from Islamists becoming violent at the suggestion that they're violent? Place your bets.
I'll take your wagers for number of Christian churches attacked worldwide. Early activity suggests you choose a high figure. Difficulty level: in many Islamic countries there will be no church attacks at all, in keeping with the forbidding of the building of churches.
And remember: help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered.
UPDATE:
First person killed?
According to the website Islam Memo, one Christian was killed in Baghdad after the Pope's speech two days ago. The speech created a wave of anger throughout the Islamic world, including Iraq. A poster has been placed in many Baghdad mosques for the previously unknown group, "Kataab Ashbal Al Islam Al Salafi," (Islamic Salafist Boy Scout Battalions). This group threatens to kill all Christians in Iraq if the Pope does not apologize in three days in front of the whole world to Mohammed.
I take it these Boy Scouts aren't the kind that help little old ladies cross the street.
Their victim probably wasn't even Catholic.
More over at Michelle Malkin's.

sell six week old bread.
Personally, the pope doesn't speak for me. Jesus Christ left behind a comforter, and a direct line
between myself and the Big Guy.
I figure the Pope is supposed to be the last person on earth that should apologize about anything...even if he is a Kraut.
