Pope Benedict XVI walked out on a toxic anti-Israeli Islamic judge at a meeting in Jerusalem on Monday night. Muslim cleric Sheikh Taysir al-Tamimi started shouting at the Pope during his speech at the event. The Jerusalem Post reported:
Chief Islamic Judge of the Palestinian Authority, Sheikh Tayseer Rajab Tamimi, launched a poisonous verbal attack at Israel at a Monday night gathering attended by Pope Benedict XVI.
In a meeting with organizations involved in inter-religious dialogue at the Notre Dame Jerusalem Center, Tamimi called upon Muslims and Christians to unite against what he said were the murderous Israelis.
Taking the podium after the pope without being on the original list of speakers scheduled for the evening, Tamimi, speaking at length in Arabic, accused Israel of murdering women and children in Gaza and making Palestinians refugees, and declared Jerusalem the eternal Palestinian capital.
Following the diatribe and before the meeting was officially over, the pope exited the premises. Army Radio reported that the pope shook Tamimi's hand before walking out. The Pope vowed to battle rising anti-Semitism during his speech today in Israel.
Sheikh Taiseer al-Tamimi is head of the Palestinian Authority's Sharia Courts.

Obama would have bowed to him.
My Pope has more guts than their President.....
I understand that the empty suit is taking numerous set of knee pads with him so that he will not damage his knees when he gives them **************
Man, Obama did NOT bow to the Saudi King! Get it right!
He genuflected... A bow may indicate respect among equals; genuflection indicates submission!
According to retarded libs Christians are just as bad as muslims. Remember that.
I still cannot believe the dolt wasn’t told the proper protocol.
This is why we have EXPERIENCED statesmen, they are trained and know how to behave. Protocol expressly states that heads of state and their wives to not have to follow any protocol that indicates homage to another head of state because all heads of state are considered equal diplomatically if not morally.
Exactly. In many cultures, a bow is a sign of respect, not submission. It is customary, for example, to bow in most of Asia. Both people bow as a way of saying “I respect who you are”, not “I submit myself to you”.
Bended knee - genuflection - is submission. The Obamassiah showed submission to the Saudi King.
What a dumbhole. Unreal. Everything I was afraid of has come true.
Hey, you ain’t see nuthin yet! We’re just gettin this ride fired UP!
Hold on to your hats. And your wallets. And your friends. And your Bible. And your guns. And your health plan. And your car. And your, well, you get the idea!
YES!

“PA Sheikh Interrupts Pope’s Speech, Slams Israel”
by Maayana Miskin
SNIPPET: “(IsraelNN.com) A senior Palestinian Authority Muslim leader interrupted a meeting of religious leaders in Jerusalem on Monday night as Pope Benedict XVI was speaking. The leader, Sheikh Tayseer al-Tamimi, began harshly criticizing Israel, and ignored calls for calm.”
SNIPPET: “Tamimi was responsible for a similar incident in 2000, when he raged against Israel during an interreligious dialogue in the same hall, attended by previous Catholic leader Pope John Paul II.
In 1994, the Fatah-appointed sheikh, then-chairman of the PA’s Islamic Law Council, stated, “The Jews are destined to be persecuted, humiliated, and tortured forever, and it is a Muslim duty to see to it that they reap their due. No petty arguments must be allowed to divide us. Where Hitler failed, we must succeed.”
Tamimi has also called on Muslims to pray for the destruction of the United States.”
