Saudi Arabia: No churches unless prophet Mohammed recognised, says expert

No churches should be permitted in Saudi Arabia, unless Pope Benedict XVI recognised the prophet Mohammed...
"It would be possible to launch official negotiations to construct a church in Saudi Arabia only after the Pope and all the Christian churches recognise the prophet Mohammed."
"If they don't recognise him as a prophet, how can we have a church in the Saudi kingdom?"
Ashiqi's comments came after a declaration launched by the papal nuncio of the Persian Gulf, the archbishop Mounged El-Hachem, at the opening of the first Catholic church in Qatar last week.
El-Hachem estimated three to four million Christians in the Saudi kingdom who want to have a church.
A member of Saudi Arabia's Consultative Council, Abdelaziz al-Thinani, rejected the prelate's claims saying that there were no Christians among the Saudis who were all Muslims.

I recognize Mohammed as a pedophilic fraud with psychiatric disorders. Hope that counts.

only after the Pope and all the Christian churches recognise the prophet Mohammed I recognize Mohammed as the founder of Islam a cult of death.
Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."
Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"
Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared,"Kill any Jew who falls under your power."
Ibn Ishaq: 327 - Allah said, A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.

"It would be possible to launch official negotiations to construct a church in Saudi Arabia only after the Pope and all the Christian churches recognise the prophet Mohammed."
He says this knowing full well that even if the Pope were to bend, they still wouldnt have to live up to their promise until virtually every Christian church on the planet recognized the Prophet Mohammed as a legitimate prophet. If the churches were to do such a thing, the very act of recognizing Mohammed as a legitimate prophet would legitimize his teachings in which he portrays Jesus simply as another prophet and not the son of god. This would nullify the entire Christian faith so of course they will never do such a thing.
Talk about a bunch of double talk which makes it appear as if he is willing to compromise but upon scrutiny is offering no compromise at all. How typical of the Saudi representatives. It is also typical reporting which while not neccesarily biasing the information, does not point out the obvious fact that this offer of compromise is nothing of the sort.

Sounds logical. Kind of like: "If they don't allow Christians to set foot in Mecca, how can we allow Muslims to build Mosques in Europe and the US?" Because 50+% of our countries are run by socialist, whining, frightened surrender monkeys.

take note folks.
These are the same mentality to demand we just accept human created global warming on mere say so.
Their world view sees religious domination as just a part of government.
1. convert
2. submit
3. die
Here the religious islamic dictators are demanding the pope admit christianity is a fake religion.

“If they don't recognize him as a prophet, how can we have a church in the Saudi kingdom?”
That's Muslim circular logic for you. Of course they do not recognize the Christ, but we tolerate their mosques en masse. However, the other way round they're asking us to change our religion so we can have 1 church in Saudi. These people are really scared of the power of the gospel to change their measly society.

Well how does this work? It’s blasphamy to havwe a drawing of Muhammed, so how’s the pope going to recognize him? It’s not like he’s seen him in person.

How can we recognize him, if you wont allow any pictures of him? He's easy to find and recognize. He's in the 8th circle of Hell among the other Sowers of Discord with a split torso.

In other words, they will only allow the building of a church if the church is a mosque. Who said anything about building.
They only said said they'd

John the Babtist was the last
Old Testament prophet. After Messiah has come
and after the completion of the New Testament canon, there is no need for any more prophets.
Fixed it ....

Hey Anwar Ashiqi show the Holy Father this picture:
...I am sure he would recognize it as the pig-sucking false prophet Mohammed immediately.
