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?

How much less could he care?
He’s not the only one though, but I do agree with you. It’s as if no one cares about the history of that religion. The FOUNDER of the religion (unlike Jesus), Mohammed, encouraged conversion by the sword. He was the first terrorist. The terrorists actually follow the original religion. The peaceful Muslims follow something different entirely.
Or maybe time to start playing cowboys and muslims for real.
A sign that the Christian is growing and spreading in the “global south”.
God Bless Pope Francis!
“Nice to see that the new Pope is an Islamist.”
Nice to see you win most ignorant post of the day.
A frequent recipient of said award amongst a crowded field replete with stiff competition.
It is not as though he’s ever going to meet one.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
You are correct
The Nana was grammatically in error
Oh noez
The sun wont rise today...
Anyhoo Mohammad is too busy screaming in Hell to be concerned about any feelings he might have about his victims receiving sainthood from the new and wonderfully courageous Pope..

(KJV) Deuteronomy 4:2...
“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.”
Maybe not, Nana.
If "I could care less" is said sarcastically, it could mean the same thing as "I couldn't care less". Your lips might be saying "I could care less" but your tone is saying the opposite.
“It is long past time for another Crusade.”
Against Islam or the American left? The latter are much more dangerous in the long run, and our refusal to treat them as such has let them grow by leaps & bounds.
