Egypt's Sunni body freezes dialogue with Vatican | ||
2011-01-21 | ||
[Dawn] Egypt's Al-Azhar, Sunni Islam's highest seat of learning, said on Thursday it was freezing its bi-annual meetings with the Vatican after remarks by Pope Benedict XVI that "attack" Islam. "The freeze was prompted by the repeated attacks on Islam by Pope Benedict XVI of the Vatican.
The decision came after an extraordinary meeting of Al-Azhar's Islamic Research Academy chaired by the body's Grand Imam Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayyeb, the statement said. Al-Azhar and the Vatican hold bi-annual meetings to discuss mutual cooperation. The pope had called for the protection of the Arab world's Christian communities after a New Year's attack on a church in the northern city of Alexandria that left 21 people dead.
The remarks prompted Cairo to recall its envoy to the Vatican. On Wednesday, Arab leaders gathered for an economic summit in Sharm el-Sheikh voiced their "total rejection" of foreign interference in Arab affairs over the region's Christian minorities. | ||

#1 Moslems themselves know how the entire world views them. Their sense of Shame is impossible to bear. Its impossible for them to clean their sores and the smell cant be hidden. Its like having dripping sagging Leprosy. There is no medicine for being a Moslem. So dont criticize them. Dont even go ,"Tut-tut". The Pope is wasting his time trying to be discrete and encouraging Moslems to love anyone. Moslems dont even love themselves. And its beyond the air freshener stage at this point. And well... drugs are useless. A little Holy Water isnt going to get it, Benedict. |
