3- The remonstrant letter by representative of Iranian Assyrians to Pope

 A conference for studying and reviewing the causes and consequences of Pope utterances was hold with presence of tens of eminent professors and scholars from seminary and university from 18 to 22 on Monday 9.10.2006 in the office of Political and International Studies of Foreign Ministry, a part of which will be quoted hereunder:

 

Mostafa Boroujerdi, the latest ambassador of Iran in Vatican referred to parts of biography of Pope Benedict XVI and his scientific and political background, and expressed: Benedict XVI was head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which can select the next Pope. However, as he was the head of Congregation, he selected himself as new Pope after demise of Pope John Paul II!

Referring to his concern about appearance and spread of Islam in Europe, speciallyItaly, he remarked: During the recent 40 years, number of Moslems in Europe has doubled, and this causes concern for the political, security and religious departments of European rulers.

According to Boroujerdi, Christianity has failed to fulfill the expectations of church despite of all facilities it has applied for mission. This has increased Pope’s concern.

Indicating spread of Islam in Italy, he expressed: The area of Italy is half of Iran, and its population is 57 million. 437 Catholic radio channels are evangelizing in this country. However, as confessed by church authorities, the people are referring less to church. On the other hand, according to the studies, the Moslem population of this country may reach 50 million within the next 10 years. This has concerned the new Pope.

Expressing that West introduces Al-Qaida as the symbol of Islam to create hatred in Europeans against Islam, the latest ambassador of Iranin Vatican said: Another point concerning Pope and church is that despite of growth in Islamism, Catholic church is suffering from increase in Christians’ irreligiousness.

In this congress, stating that Pope’s insult against Islam is not start of Crusade War and rather it is its continuation, the scholar, Mr. Khosroshahi, the previous ambassador of Iran in Vatican stipulated: In the project of encounter with Islam, Pope is assigned with the cultural and religious part of the project, as we see that Mr. Bush too has exactly confirmed his utterances.

Referring to the biography of new Pope, he said: He was a member of Nazi Youth organization when he was young, and then, he joined church and became a priest.

He added: It is a vulgar idea if we say that Pope’s utterances have resulted from his lack of knowledge about Islam. Be sure that a Pope knows more than others about the positive points of Islam.

Khosroshahi stressed: Pope has the record of relation with Fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany. His correspondences with Hitler and Mussolini is a published document.

Stating that precedent Pope had a close cooperation with imperialism of U.S., he expressed: It was published in the Left dailies in Italy at the lifetime of John Paul Pope II that when he is going to comment about the critical global issues, first he studies CIA reports.

Then, Mohaghegh Damad, the great professor, head of Islam Encyclopedia stated: I beseechingly propose to select a practical strategy for replying Pope.

Stating that Pope has introduced Islam an irrational religion, he said: For replying this question, Pope shall be reminded to study the contents of 1400 years Islamic literature.

Many of western thinkers have confessed that Islam is the religion of rationalism. The great Islamic thinkers have been a model for the western civilization, and the western civilization is indebted to Islamic rationalism. This is a good reply to Pope’s claim.

According to Mohaghegh Damad, regardless of physical spread of Islam during the last two centuries, concerning Christianity, conversion of great and famous western thinkers and philosophers has dealt a deathblow to western civilization. For better understanding, can you imagine what happened to Moslems and Islamic society if, for instance, a great philosopher like Allameh Tabatabaei (a.s.) converted to Christianity!

According to the head of Islam Encyclopedia, those like Walter and Corbin who were rationalist, were astonished by Islam, and Corbin says: I love the rational Iranian Islam, and dies as a Moslem.

Referring to the narrations and verses concerned with Jihad, he said: The Islamic scholars shall study these verses and narrations to clarify the issue of Jihad for the Islamic society.(44)
