Up to Jerusalem

Oh I know the press has so many things to cover that it just can’t do it all, right? And, the Pope is always going here and there and it is hard to just keep someone assigned to cover his whole itinerary. So it isn’t surprising that when you google Pope in Jerusalem you don’t bring up any stories from the main-stream media.

So, do you know he was in Jerusalem today? Yup, he went there and sat face to face with he head Muslim clerics in the City. Apparently, the chief judge there, the one in charge of enforcing sharia law really went off on the Pope about the evil Jews. AND POPE BENEDICT XVI GOT UP AND WALKED OUT ON HIM! Hey Judge! That was the Pope who got up and walked out on you!

I like Pope Benedict. I think he is looking for ways to make peace with Muslims. That doesn’t mean he is fooled by them. He has had a previous clash with them before. He accurately quoted from a 400 year old text and Muslims went berserk because they didn’t like what it said, even if one of their guys said it. He learned from that incident that in order to dialogue with them we need to first establish a peaceful rapport. That is what he was trying to do in Jerusalem. Good for the Pope. But when he got an earful of “we hate the Jews and so should you!” , he got up and walked out.

Now, President Obama, I hope you read my blog because I am giving you a big hint here. You are going to visit the same Middle East in a few weeks. This is a test. It is a test by God, himself. You are going to get the same blah, blah, blah from the same people. What are you going to do? Are you going to be a man, look them straight in the eye and tell them to pound sand? Or are you going to apologize for their harsh treatment and side with them on the idea that Israel must give them more land while they continue to pursue Israel’s extinction.?

The worst case scenario is if Obama somehow signs on as the Muslims’ benefactor and champion for their rights WHILE SIMULTANIOUSLY signing on as Israel’s protector and defender.

This is all happening in the next few weeks. Are you ready?
