DECLARATION OF #JERUSALEM "COMMON PATRIMONY OF THREE RELIGIONS" BY POPE FRANCIS AND MOROCCAN KING – AN UNFORTUNATE AND INHUMAN DECISION.
The #Catholic #Pontiff, #Pope #Francis on Saturday, March 30, 2019, joined Morocco's His Majesty the King, Mohammed VI, King of Morocco in saying Jerusalem, Israel should be a "symbol of peaceful coexistence" for #Christians, #Jews and #Muslims on the first day of his visit to the #North #African country. In a joint statement, the two leaders said Jerusalem was "common patrimony of humanity and especially the followers of the three monotheistic religions".
The question that has continuously begged for an answer is, which other religion shares or has holy sites and worship centres in the city of #Mecca other than Muslims? It practically seems the Pontiff has forgotten so early and it is quite unfortunate that most of his actions and declarations with respect to #Israel are always anti-Israel. For example, Saudi Arabian Saudi Mutaween (Committee for the promotion of virtue and the prevention of vice) prohibits the practice of any other religion other than #Islam. Conversion of a Muslim to another religion is considered apostasy and could lead to a death penalty. The government does not permit non-Muslim clergies to enter the country for the purpose of conducting religious services. On the other hand, #Catholicism is officially barred from being practised in #SaudiArabia. What has the Pontiff said or done to stop this ugly situation?
Israel has continued to suffer persecution in the hands of her neighbouring countries, #Iran and the #Arab league. The recent protest at the #Gaza–#Israel border absolutely shows the level of hatred the #Palestinians have for the nation of Israel. Iran with the total support of the Arab league has persistently vowed to see to the total annihilation of the nation of Israel yet no concrete support by Pope Francis for the protection and defence of Israel.
It is wise for the Pontiff to desist from comments, actions and declarations that could portend danger for God's own nation Israel. As #God is the ultimate protection and defender of Israel. The United States of #America The White House is commended for their unalloyed support for The Prime Minister of Israel and hereby encouraged to continue.
