Yeah, again it is clear that you have no facts to post, just your usual self puffery and speculation.
For a professional historian and self described diplomacy expert, and a Protocol Officer for your governments Diplomatic Corp, it seems like you could just put this to rest by responding to post 35, rather than your usual sells pitch in place of facts.
All I’m interested in is accuracy, if the article is wrong someone can just give us the correct information so that we can rebut it.

You should give us the examples of the Popes bowing to Islam’s Queens so that we can challenge this article.

I hadn’t read post 35, so why would I have responded to it?
Having read it, at this point, I think it’s a stupid question.
I think it is quite likely that no Pope has ever actually met an Islamic Queen before. Most Islamic Monarchs would not let their Queen meet the Pope - many would not let them meet any man.
But Popes have met other Queens and bowed to them - Pope John Paul II bowed to Queen Elizabeth II on their official meeting in 1980.
Popes have bowed to Queens before. And in diplomacy, religion is not treated as a relevant factor.
