A pápa nem kívánta megsérteni az iszlámot - közölte csütörtökön a Vatikán, miután XVI. Benedek pápának a szent háborúval kapcsolatos elmélkedése heves vihart váltott ki muzulmán vezetők körében.

Hiába ijedt be, a sebek -úgy látszik- nem gyógyulnak:
Former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami met today with Pope Benedict XVI for talks the Vatican hoped would help heal tensions left from the pontiff's remarks on Islam and violence, but the Iranian said the wounds were still very deep.
Khatami, a reformist in power from 1997 to 2005, had been scheduled to meet with Benedict in October but the meeting was canceled. No reason was given, but it was just weeks after Benedict's speech in Germany about Islam touched off protests across the Muslim world.
Vatican, Mar. 2, 2007 (CWNews.com) - Sheikh Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi, the rector of Cairo’s Al Azhar University, will visit Pope Benedict at the Vatican on March 22, according to informed sources in Rome.
Cardinal Paul Poupard, the president of the Pontifical Council for Inter-Religious Dialogue, issued an invitation to the sheik during a meeting in Cairo on February 20. Vatican officials immediately announced that the Islamic leader had accepted the invitation, but Tantawi later said that he was only considering the visit, and had not yet received a formal invitation from Pope Benedict.
Sheikh Tantawi, who heads the leading institution of higher education in the Sunni Muslim world, has been a regular partner with the Vatican in interfaith dialogue. However, he was sharply critical of Pope Benedict’s speech in Regensburg, saying that the Pontiff would not be welcome at Al Azhar unless he retracted his statements about Islam.
Is the pope modifying his stance on Islam?Joseph Crowley
Pope Benedict XVI appears to be modifying his approach to the Muslim world, according to an analysis appearing the publication Our Sunday Visitor and featured on the website Catholic.org:
Call it a change of substance, call it a change of tone, or call it simply a change – Pope Benedict XVI’s publicly stated view of Islam has undergone a remarkable transformation in less than five months.
This is the pope who last September quoted without disagreement a 14th-century Christian emperor’s complaint that Mohammed had accomplished nothing but “things evil and inhuman.” Now Pope Benedict calls for Christians and Muslims to work together in the cause of peace.
This also is the churchman who before becoming pope opposed Muslim Turkey’s admission to the European Union. Now he looks favorably on having Turkey a part of that grouping of 27 European nations joined for political and economic cooperation. [….]
The papal turnaround began in reaction to the furious Muslim response to his Regensburg talk, continued via fence-mending remarks and gestures that included praying in a historic mosque during his trip to Turkey, and has kept up since then.
That doesn’t mean Pope Benedict has simply thrown in the towel as a critic of Islam. Rather, as he has done often before, so also he has made it clear that Islamic terrorism is beyond the pale of civilized behavior. “War in God’s name is never acceptable,” he said in his 2007 World Day of Peace message.
The picture now emerging of where Pope Benedict stands looks something like this: Fearful of a cataclysmic clash between extremes – a hollowed-out, secularized West and jihadist Islamic fundamentalism – the pope hopes to promote entente between reasonable, responsible Christians and Muslims as an alternative.
Evidently, too, he thinks Catholicism can be a model to Islam, showing how a traditional faith can adapt to the modern world while remaining true to itself.
Az állatidomár sem oroszlánná akar válni, amikor bemegy a ketrecbe, csak az óhajtott képként kíván tükröződni azok szemében akik kedvéért a mutatványt csinálja.
A végén azt veszitek észre, hogy a pápa már a ti első számú szellemi vezetőtök is. Mivel az iszlámnál nincs komolyanvehető főgóré, ez majdhogynem természetes dolog is.
A vége az, hogy nem lesz más választásotok és le kell lőni, egyuttal szentet csinálva belőle. Szerintem ez az életcélja is, különben.;))
Papal transformation - Benedict uses softer touch to dialogue with Islam
HUNTINGTON, Ind. (Our Sunday Visitor) – Call it a change of substance, call it a change of tone, or call it simply a change – Pope Benedict XVI’s publicly stated view of Islam has undergone a remarkable transformation in less than five months.
This is the pope who last September quoted without disagreement a 14th-century Christian emperor’s complaint that Mohammed had accomplished nothing but “things evil and inhuman.” Now Pope Benedict calls for Christians and Muslims to work together in the cause of peace.
This also is the churchman who before becoming pope opposed Muslim Turkey’s admission to the European Union. Now he looks favorably on having Turkey a part of that grouping of 27 European nations joined for political and economic cooperation. What accounts for the change? Pope Benedict went a long way toward answering that question in his pre-Christmas address to the Roman Curia reviewing the events of 2006.
Speaking of the potential for conflict between “cultures and religion” – the much-discussed clash of civilizations between Islam and the West – Pope Benedict called it “still threateningly present at this moment in history.” Finding the way that leads to peace is “a challenge of vital importance,” he declared.
His preferred way of meeting the challenge is dialogue leading to a convergence of faith and reason. According to Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican secretary of state, the pope’s September address at the University of Regensburg in Germany, which included the controversial quote about Mohammed, should be read in that light.
Cardinal Bertone also spoke in glowing terms of Turkish admission to the European Union, thus undercutting the resistance of diehard papal defenders who’d kept insisting that Pope Benedict meant nothing of the kind. One even accused the Turkish prime minister and compliant media of spreading “disinformation” by suggesting the pope had taken a different view during his late-November trip to Turkey.
But Pope Benedict’s hand-picked secretary of state laid that view to rest. “Without Turkey, Europe would no longer benefit from that bridge between East and West that Turkey has always been throughout history,” he said in an interview. (www.catholic.org)
de azt meg a mi kultúrkörünkben ki nem szarja le? A kereszténység alaptétele nem játék, az a tábla több mint két milliárd ember hitének ALAPVETŐ TÉTELÉT sérti. Ehhez képest a bombaturbános Mohamed kép enyhe, baráti élcelődés.
(Vajh, hány mecsetet, török nagykövetséget gyújtottak fel, akár a legelmaradottabb keresztény területeken is?)
A pápa adzant (imárahívást) mond.
A pápa megcsókolja a Kegyes Koránt.
