hmm, don’t recall Jesus bowing to kings and queens

No, just lepers, the poor and the sick. What's your point?

humility and submission are different - especially to muslims

You really think anybody in the Middle East believes that the Pope is submitting to the Queen of a tiny, impoverished Middle Eastern country wholly dependent on US aid? C'mon.

Also, not that it matters, but the Jordanian royal family is notoriously secular -- they're Muslims the way Joe Biden is a Catholic. They're far more likely to be attacked (literally) by radical elements in Jordan for being secret Catholics than they are to win any praise for getting the Pope to bow to them.

compassion to the sick is not bowing to a king or queen

IMHO the pope pulled an obama by bowing to royalty because they are..... royalty. Showing deference or humility to a muslim is culturally regarded as submitting to the superiority islam

the Jordanian royal family may live abroad like rich socialites but at home they make sure to be very devout keepers of the 3rd holy place al Aqsa in Jerusalem- the Hashemite king of that tiny impoverished kingdom claims descent from family of prophet Muhammed
