“The Pope is risking a new rift with Islam after baptising an outspoken newspaper editor who renounced his Muslim faith after condemning it as a “religion of hate”.”
You just have to laugh at how quickly the Muslims validate the claim.

God Bless you Pope Benedict.

God bless this brave and heroic soul. He is abjectly risking his life to not only tell the truth, but then to back it up with actions.
The Islamic Jihadists hate this. They cannot allow for even the chance of this on any wide-spread basis. it is a dam waiting to overflow.
God bless this man and the Pope for their actions in the face of such hate.

As a Lutheran, I say, "Good on ya, Pope!"
It is high time we stopped worrying about the Islamofascists "sensitivities".
In the end, there is only one thing you need to know about Islamofascists...How to defeat and destroy them.

When you think of it, this is VERY interesting. Pope Benedict did not have to baptize Magdi Allam himself. It could have been done quietly.
The Vatican has to be careful of offending Muslims, because millions of Christians are hostage to their anger in Muslim countries around the world. That is one reason why popes have not been more outspoken about the evils of Islam—because of all those innocent Christian hostages. It’s a very difficult situation. It’s one thing to accept martyrdom yourself, but it’s another to risk martyring others.
I can only conclude that Pope Benedict decided that this was the best choice. He certainly did not do it with any unawareness of the possible consequences, because he is a very smart guy and is deeply concerned about the problem of how to deal with Islam, and whether it is possible to talk rationally with them at all.

Ok, Pope baptizes an adult, who wishes to become Christian, and by doing it Pope “risks” to undermine relations with Islam?! What's next, outrage and muslim rioting over Pope praising the Lord?

This is no shocker.
Everyone knows that Islamics is free to claim converts from Christendom...
but anyone leaving Islam has a bullseye painted on them!

But the death threats he has already received for his harsh words about Islam only made him more determined to leave the "intolerant" religion.In the same sentence the mediots mention the death threats, then put "intolerant" in quotes.

Good for the Pope! God bless Benedict XVI. Muslims are converting to Christianity in the tens of thousands across the Muslim world, according to a recent article by Joel C. Rosenberg. The Cross of Christ will always triumph over darkness.

Pope risks new rift with Islam Satan as he baptises journalist Fixed.
To: Jeff Head
Amen, and this brave convert knows full well he is placing Islam in a very difficult position. They can either do nothing, and thereby encourage other Muslims to be able to escape from bondage, or they can go after him, thereby proving the fact of a violent religion.
The Pope knows this too. I commend him for his brave act which will no doubt cause a firestorm. Let the mullahs try and kill their way out of this one.

Apostasty is the word uses to describe cannibals who go vegan - according to ancient cannibal writings, such an apostate vegan’s flesh is particularly tasty.

Curious how the article assumes it is only one side’s responsibility to “bridge the gap” — which leaves one with the impression the journalist believes islam has no obligation in that regard. (I do not believe it is possible, given the inherent violence in islam, as this convert — in a much better position to know — confirms.)
