Pope Benedict XVI walked out of an interfaith conference in Jerusalem yesterday after a Muslim cleric accused Israel of "slaughtering" women and children. Speaking at an interfaith conference in the Notre Dame Church in East Jerusalem, the head of the Palestinian Sharia court, Sheikh Taysir al-Tamimi, denounced Israeli policy and appealed to the pope to help end what he called the "crimes of the Jewish state." Specifically, he accused Israel of slaughtering women, children and the elderly. The speech was delivered in Arabic, without simultaneous translation into English. But after the pope was informed of the political nature of Tamimi's speech, he left the conference. The sheikh opened his impromptu speech with a story about Saladin, who upheld the rights of Christians after he conquered Jerusalem. He then declared that Islam and Christianity must unite against "the Israeli occupation and bring about an independent Palestinian state." (more...)
If it had been Obama, he would just sit there and shake hands with the guy afterward.
Well, the Arabs are someone to accuse others of crimes and say they are slaughtering women and children when they have for years lobbed rockets into civilian areas of Israel. That sort of like the pot calling the kettle black, isn't it.
Not only that but many Arab states attack their own citizens, which may be another point in their favor from the liberal Democrat perspective
Good for him. Just for the record, Benedict doesn't disrespect Islam. He said a while back that we should respect the Muslims. He's just taking a standfor Israel.
