The Pope, Islam and the Dome of the Rock by Calvin Smith All we’ve heard today is how the Pope’s words have deeply offended Muslims. But consider the following statements: “The Sonship of Jesus and the Trinity are false”, and “It is not fitting that God should beget or father a child”. These statements, which are deeply offensive to Christians (who follow Jesus, the Only Begotten Son of God), are permanently inscribed within the Dome of the Rock (see Biblical Archaeological Review vol 32 no 4, July-August 2006, 36-47, 68). I am reminded of that old adage that suggests those living in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. I would also like to know why Islam’s rude dismissal of Christianity in this way is rarely, if ever, reported by the media. Mutual respect should be just that - mutual - and until it is, Muslims should expect to take the rough with the smooth like the rest of us. |
