Pope Francis meets with top Shiite cleric in Iraq
Pope Francis met with one of Iraq’s top shi’ite cleric, the Grand Ayatollah Ali al Sistani, in a historic meeting of Catholic and Shi’ite Muslim leadership. The two are expected to have discussed issues surrounding Iraq’s Christian minority. Following the meeting, al Sistani said that authorities have a role in protecting Christians in Iraq, and they should enjoy the same freedoms as Muslims.
Your authorizes cant even protect a majority of your Muslims who grt attacked by other Muslims for worshipping slightly different. You really think they have the reaources to protect Christians? I mean most Arab countries have openly said they hate Israel. Christianity is stemmed from Jewish faith. Jesus was a jew. So why would they even attempt to protect them when they cant even protect those who practice their own religion.
No way, that actually works!? Time to grab my, "Don't hurt me sign," I'm going to go pet me some lions at the zoo!!
Is the only thing on the table a box of tissues? Well aren't they going to become "good friends".
Oh great the heads of two of the most hate based religions of love since the mayans gonna fix the world. Bwahaahaaa no thanks I'd rather listen to Bill Nye.
I like how they all look uncomfortable except for the Pope
That guy gives me the creeps. Big time. Just look at that smile.
"Shite" being the operative word
Like how they just talkn “aye rememba that time when we told knights god said kill your people....yea I remember 🙄
Comparing notes from centuries of using physical intimidation to force others to convert where spiritual intimidation can be used to control behavior.
Have you addressed the "My God is stronger than Yours, issue yet !?
Thumbs up for peace talks. Symbolic meetings like this between two respected religious leaders can have a positive impact. I'm glad for the people that live there.
