Thanks for the info regarding the infamous "Koran kiss." My intuition that the Pope kissed the Koran in the same way that he kisses the ground when he visits a country has proven to be pretty much correct. Adding to this explanation the fact that he was confused regarding protocol, the act becomes even easier to understand.

Kissing the Koran is like kissing the ground in visiting a country?

Kissing the ground honors a country. The parallel with the Koran is a big stretch. I ask you what I asked NYer...

***What is holy, good and true in the Koran? Islam is a road to Hell.***
