Unfortunately one of the very few erroneous gestures of JPII. He should have kissed that monkey's ass in the picture next to him vs. that diabolical book of half truths (stolen and revised from the Jews and Christians), it would have meant a helluva lot less.
And "unfortunately", it proves him to be a man of incredible naivete and a man with little or no spiritual discernment.
Do you think that Imam standing next to him would bow and kiss a Bible?
Not on your life.
