Shamms, the intention was never to ignore your enlighting info, thank u for adding this to my inof.
BTW which denomination are u following? before I continue.
Well, if u give me the choice, although I respect much the stance of the People's Assembly here in Egypt (= congress) which on a session made a formal request for an apology.
But I d rather would have addressed the pope asking him those who are embracing Islam since I dont know when till the current time, with a large number of priests and monks, who put a sowrd on their neck to do so. To me, the Pope's comment manifests nothing but deep threat. He is threatened.
Yusuf Estes for one, who was a former very active priest, no one forced him to embrace Islam.
