I am sure everyone agrees that the "Pope" is a religious and knowledgeable man. According to the researched studies of the "Pope", he has concluded and announced publicly at the Second Vatican council:
"the Church also has a high regard for the Muslims. They worship God, who is one, living and subsistent, merciful and almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, who has also spoken to men. They strive to submit themselves without reserve to the hidden decrees of God, just as Abraham submitted to God's plan, to whose faith Muslims eagerly link their own. Although not acknowledging him as God, they venerate Jesus as a prophet, his virgin mother they also honor, and even at times devoutly invoke. Further they await the day of judgment and the reward of God following the resurrection of the dead.
For this reason they highly esteem an upright life and worship God, especially by prayer, alms-deeds and fasting. This sacred Council urges all to forget the past...let them together preserve and promote peace, liberty, social justice and moral values." Pope Paul VI.
The Pope is obviously a man with many more theological resources and a much deeper understanding of religion than the common priest.A person is chosen to be a Pope for his wisdom and devotion to the Bible, not to mention a life time of studying theology.
On the other hand you have the common Bible peddlers who are quick to label everyone outside their particular church an infidel.
According to the Pope, Muslims believe in the same God and according to Jesus, Muslims are the greatest in Heaven.
Now for those who persist on claiming Muslims are anti-Christ and non-Believers, the message is, that is an ignorant, racist, hateful separatist view which goes against your own Bible isn't it?
