In a blog entry contradicts P. Bernd Hagenkord SJ, head of the German department of Vatican Radio, clear assertions, a Muslim cleric had as part of the Meeting of Prayer for Peace in the Holy Land for the “victory against the infidels “prayed. To document he published on his blog at Radio Vatican, the English translation actually maintained according to data from Radio Vatican on Pentecost Sunday prayers and speeches, in which the body does not appear.
Hamed Abdel-Samad, a living in Germany islam critical political scientist and author has posted on his Facebook page on Sunday following entry: “In the Garden of the Vatican, the Muslim clergy concludes his prayer with the verse: May Allah help us to victory against the infidels ! I call that a prayer for peace! “On Monday, the Arab news network Al Arabiya Video has released an excerpt of the meeting in the Vatican.The headline reads: “Imam quotes the Koran for the first time at the Vatican” The video shows the prayer of a Muslim cleric with Arabic subtitles. Al Arabiya but gives no information on the Koran location or specific content. On Tuesday of Hamed was born and raised in Egypt Abdel-Samad confirmed his entry from Sunday.Vatican Radio deny that the Muslim clerics have prayed for victory against the infidels, he writes. Then he quotes verse 286 of the second sura of the Koran, which ends with the words: “You are our Protector, help us against the people of the unbelievers!” On request confirmed Abdel-Samad, that he had followed the ceremony on television. He understood Arabic and knew the passage quoted from the Koran well. The sheikh did it perhaps well-intentioned, because’ll also told in the point that all the prophets are equal. However, they also show how problematic are the Koran quotes to legitimize the peace, he writes in conclusion. Historian and author Michael Hesemann confirmed on its Facebook page, the statements by Hamed Abdel-Samad. The Muslims had the organizers “malicious deception,” he writes literally. In addition to the harmless submitted prayers of the Imam had started from the second sura of the Qur’an to quote’ll pleaded in Allah for victory over the infidels. The denial of Vatican Radio explained Hesemann with the fact that no one there knew the Koran or Arabic speaking. The statements of the Imam but are documented and verifiable by video recordings. In conclusion, Hesemann thanked those who had helped him in the detection and hopes that this “deceit” would help to understand Islam.
