The risk of someone performing a Black Mass is always present. I remember some concern about this in my own church. It is not a matter of beating up someone for a remark. It is not a matter of beheading someone. Someone who takes the consecrated host is a thief who is not playing by the understood rules. So it’s a matter of grabbing back the stolen object. Stealing the host is a misdemeanor. It would be like stealing the mass book, the cross, etc.

Now that national governments are under attack by fundamentalist jihadists, they (Turkey and Saudi) are hiring university professors to dig up dirt on the original texts of Islam that clearly sanction violence against the Infidels and women. This is a losing battle that will undermine their legitimacy as Islamic governments and further enrage the fundamentalists. They will end up undermining the faith of Muslims in their countries and the final battle will be between ex-Muslims (pretending to believe so they won’t be killed) and the fundamentalists. On the other hand, the more the fundamentalists let off bombs, the more ordinary people will be turned off. Neither side is winning, but eventually, modernity will defeat the fundamentalists. It is going to take another twenty years of this before most Muslims get the idea, ‘Yes, Islam is violent…very violent.’
A civilized person cannot be a Muslim.

Yes, it was interesting to read the tale of the student who was assaulted in a Catholic church for trying to carry his consecrated wafer back to the pew to show it to his friend, and then the overheated rhetoric about how taking a wafer home was worse than kidnapping, and the death threats against a science blogger for offering to disrespect a consecrated cracker if someone would send him one.
