In an earlier post I indicated that I thought the Pope had made a mistake in his speech regarding Islam, but said that the sorts of violent protest we witnessed in reaction to the cartoons in the Danish press would be uncalled for. Well...
Italian nun slain in Somalia, speculation of Pope link
Gunmen shot and killed an Italian nun at a children's hospital in Mogadishu on Sunday in an attack that drew immediate speculation of links to Muslim anger over the Pope's recent remarks on Islam.
She was shot three times in the back.
Such violence is absolutely outrageous. The fact that there are those in the leadership of Muslim communities who stoke the anger of people during such controversies does not bode well for the future of the Islamic faith, or for relations between people of different faiths.
If the Pope's words were wrong, how much more evil are the actions of those who would shoot a nun in the back at a children's hospital?
