This Agence France Presse article about the new pope’s inauguration statements didn’t contain enough Jew-hatred, so Wahhabi propaganda site IslamOnline did some rewriting: Pope Pays Homage to Jews, Ignores Muslims.
Some observers fear that Jewish lobbies might blackmail the new pope for his wartime membership – which he confirms was enforced — in Nazi Germany’s Hitler Youth.
Jewish leaders have already showered Pope Benedict XVI with praise over his swift and firm commitment to follow in his predecessor’s path of Catholic-Jewish reconciliation, saying it was “a very powerful signal” for the future.
The new pontiff’s known opposition to an EU membership for Muslim Turkey has also raised many question marks.
In an interview last year with France’s Le Figaro magazine, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger said Ankara should seek its future in an association of Islamic nations, not with the EU, which has Christian roots. He said Turkey had always been “in permanent contrast to Europe” and that linking it to Europe would be “an enormous mistake.”
After his a Jews-directed message, Pope Benedict XVI greeted Catholics present here and elsewhere, before extending his message to other Christians.
IslamOnline is a Google News source, of course. Must not be any “hate speech” there.
