Didn't this guy convert to Christianity after Pope JPII forgave him?
"Didn't this guy convert to Christianity after Pope JPII forgave him?"
That seems to ring a bell... I'm not sure, but I think there was some speculation about conversion because he was so impressed by a true religion of peace and forgiveness of sins compared to his religion of death.
I guess I'm wrong... he is just plain nuts:
ALI AGCA SAYS VATICAN PROMISED TO NAME HIM CARDINAL
Former Terrorist Continues To Make Provocative Statements
ANKARA, AUGUST 10 (ZENIT.org).- Yesterday Ali Agca, the man who on May 13, 1981 tried to assassinate John Paul II in St. Peter's Square, said in Ankara,Turkey, that in 1983 the Vatican offered him a huge amount of money and the appointment of Cardinal if he converted to Catholicism.
"I would prefer to be a monkey in the African jungle than a king in the Vatican," Agca said, in a statement entitled "I am innocent. The Vatican is the greatest criminal." Agca's lawyer distributed the statement yesterday, before the opening of his client's trial for a robbery in 1979. The news was reported by the DPA agency.
Agca's lawyer said that his client's statements were not irrational, but reasonable and credible. He also said Agca has more revelations to make about the Vatican. However, Mehmet Ali Agca did not explain how the Pope could appoint him Cardinal when to do so, Agca would have to be baptized, ordained a priest, and appointed bishop. Moreover, Agca's release did not depend on the Vatican but on Italian justice, which was in charge of his case and little interested in his possible conversion to Catholicism.
The 43-year old Turk was given amnesty last June by Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, and handed over to Turkish authorities. The background to the attempt against the Pope's life was never clarified, although there was talk of a Bulgarian plot implicating the Soviet secret service. At present, Agca is being held in the Kartal high security prison in Istanbul, serving a sentence for killing a Turkish journalist in 1978.
At a hearing last month, Agca accused the Vatican of being "an enemy of God and humanity," and called for the Pope's resignation.

Ali Agca is a big fake, fraud, lier and phony.
Even though he may have said he converted, he's lying through his teeth. The thug was, is, and continues to be an irrelevant muslime.
