Pope Francis set a record by canonizing 800 15th Century laymen that refused to convert to Islam and brutally died because of it.
It is a story of faith and strength in the face of death, death from a brutal and barbaric people.
But NBC is worried for poor Pope Francis. They are worried that acknowledging that these 800 heroes died true martyrs death and thus are assured of heaven, that the Pope may have hurt Islam's feelings. But no worries, there is someone more evil than the Pope to blame.
But the choice to highlight their sacrifice may put a strain on the already fragile relationship between the Catholic Church and Islam.
Ever since his election, Pope Francis has called for greater dialogue between Christianity and other religions, in particular Islam. And so far, he has acted on that promise. He washed the feet of a young Muslim woman jailed in a juvenile prison on Holy Thursday, and reached out to the many “Muslim brothers and sisters” during his first Good Friday procession.
So why risk creating yet another inter-faith row with a celebration which some in the Muslim world may be seen as a provocation?

It is long past time for another Crusade.
One would have thought that the Islam community would have bowed their head and shame and said that they were sorry. Oh well, such is to be expected from a religion of peace.
And why would anyone care?
This time let’s finish it. (Would make a great tag line for a movie that will never be made).
Is NBC trying tell their Muslim friends to start something ,so Obama can have a DISTRACTION
Get used to it, media.
Francis is a grown-up.
They are not even subtle about their fear of Islam. Fear? Oh, yes! The left pushes and condones all things Islamic out of fear from getting their heads cut off..
It’s all about “fairness.”
God Bless Pope Francis!

Islam = “Submission”
Nice to see that the new Pope is an Islamist. Truly a man for our times.
Blessed is the meek Pope, for his flock shall inherit dhimmitude.
I don’t understand our post. The Pope didn’t submit to Islam at all.
Every Christian killed by these animals in robes—spouting what they call a religion, should be saints. Including that reporter who had his head cut off, and the people nailed the crosses in modern Egypt. Even those who died in Boston—killed for being Christians.
Pope canonizes saints. Mohammedans outraged.
Sun rises in Ease. Mohammedans outraged.
Cute little fluffy bunnies and pretty butterflies frolic in the meadow. Mohammedans outraged.
I agree.
Meanwhile..the Islamists and AQ terrorists that Obama is arming in Syria just cut the heart out of a dead soldier and ate it on video.
Yet NBC worries about hurting their whittle feelings.....
I believe this started with Pope Benedict XVI — so media can blame him, too.
