Bob Unruh had an Islamophobic fit in an Oct. 14 WorldNetDaily article:
Pope Leo, head of Catholicism worldwide, has handed over to Muslims a “prayer room” in the Vatican, the heart of the church.
It is in a report at the Independent Sentinel that explains the confirmation came from a “casual remark,” not a formal statement or press release as the Vatican often uses.
It was during an interview with La Repubblica just days ago that Giascomo Cardinali, vice-prefect of the Apostolic Library, confirmed, “Of course, some Muslim scholars have asked us for a room with a carpet to pray, and we have given it to them.”
Despite the wide-ranging tolerance and cooperative agendas in the contemporary world, Islam and Christianity are fundamentally exclusive.
Islam denies the divinity of Christ, on which the salvation message in Christian churches globally for millennia has been founded.
The teachings also are directly in opposition, with the Christian message of love and compassion throughout the Bible conflicting with the Quran’s instructions to “behead” non=Muslims.
The report said, “Pope Leo supports the invasion of millions of Islamists into Western countries although their values and culture are at great variance from that of the West. Now, he is arranging for a prayer room in the Vatican for them. However, we are still waiting for Vatican City to take in migratory Islamists to live.”
Meanwhile, in reality, the facts were told, as opposed to WND’s hateful spin:
The Vatican Apostolic Library does indeed allow Muslims a room for prayer. But, importantly, it does not appear to be a generally accessible Islamic prayer space but rather one designated for the “Muslim scholars” that may be on site at the time. Further, it was only opened at the request of scholars themselves.
And though it is understandable that a Muslim prayer room in the Holy See may inspire a bit of cognitive dissonance, the vice prefect of the Vatican Apostolic Library describes the space as nothing more than “a room with a carpet.”
Unruh failed to disclose the obvious — that the Independent Sentinel ia a right-wing website whose credibility is quite low. Also note that Unruh referred to the pontiff only as “Pope Leo,” excluding the fact that his official name is Pope Leo XIV.
