Pope Kept His Shoes on While Visiting Mosque in Jordan...Predictable Islamic Outrage Ensues.....
As controversy surrounds the Pope's shoes in a mosque in Amman, a Vatican spokesman insists that it would be "absolutely wrong to make a problem" out of the issue.
The controversy was sparked when Pope Benedict XVI kept on his shoes during a keynote address to Muslim leaders in a Jordan mosque.
However, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said the Pope meant no disrespect to Islam when he entered the Al-Hussein mosque.
"Benedict XVI was ready to take them off but his escorts led him down a special walkway and did not ask him to do so," the spokesman said.
The controversy aroused at a time when the pontiff is seeking to mend fences with the Muslim world during his Middle East tour.

I hope he stepped in a big pile of steamy dog shit before entering and tracked it all over their prayer mats.

"the pontiff is seeking to mend fences with the Muslim world"
How can you do that?
Any concession to Islam is seen as weakness.

Remember the Grimm tale of the Old Man who tried to please everyone. He walked into town pulling his cart with his donkey and son riding on it.

I hope the Pope had two strips of bacon stapled to the bottom of those papal shoes.

The Pope wore his best shoes made from the softest Italian Pig leather money can buy. Everyone knows the Italians make some of the nicest shoes in the world.
