Some Muslims to "Welcome" the Pope in England

Friends, this according to the The Islamic Standard:
“A change of venue gives Birmingham Muslims a chance to tell the Pope just what they think of him after his insults against the Prophet Muhammad… As well as this chance to challenge these evil words of this evil Pope, over 80,000 Catholics from all over the UK are also expected to attend the open air ceremony….We hope Muslims can be there to meet him as well and to also call people away from the shirk of worshipping the dead like the Catholics do, calling out to them for help and intercession…The Birmingham event however brings the pope and who worship him into direct contact with the the large Muslim population of Birmingham and offers them the perfect chance to learn about Islam and for the Muslims to forbid the Munkar of worshipping dead men and following the dictates of the sodomite child molesting Church of Rome…

We at the Islamic Standard hope the Muslims of Birmingham take this duel opportunity to give Da’wah to these 80,000 travelling disbelievers, whilst at the same time telling the Pope in no uncertain terms what Muslims think of his evil slanders against the last Prophet of God and his message.
Commentary. Uh, yeah. I'm surprised that Muslim "combat apologetics" is so weak. Reminds me of the equivalent efforts by the independent Baptists, "soul-winners," Catholic-Church-as-Whore-of-Babylon, "KJV-only" Fundamentalist Christians. I think they have a lot in common with each other. They are what William James would have called "sick souls".

Anyway, yes, Islamic Standard writers and admirers, I want to be your friend too...

Let us pray for the Holy Father and for his health and safety during his apostolic journey to post-Christian, often anti-Catholic England. May he confirm the faith of the brethren in that nation.

People shouldn't believe that the Islamic Standard represents the views of mainstream Muslims; it's the equivalent of the Sun or News of the World (National Enquirer to those in the USA).

BTW, Benedict is not only visiting England but also Scotland where the media can also be anti-faith especially since the sexual abuse scandals have come to light. B16's visit can be a wonderful opportunity to break down some barriers; let us pray that this will be the case. (I am not worried about protests; they'll happen but that is one of the prices of living in a democracy.)

oh, hope this will finally wake up some not very bright Catholics from the myth "Islam is one of abrahamic religions and moslems are our brothers in faith"
first, they may believe in some supernatural being, but this does not mean necessarily that they believe in the same God as we.
plus, the morals of their "prophet" is so low that he can not be, under any biblical conditions, a prophet of true God.
this should be preached in every church.
