Catholic priests are not probably authorised to give sermons at mosques. If that was the case and they insulted the Muslims, they would end their days under police protection. The Flemish councillor Béatrice Meuelmans considers that the angry reaction of the people attending the Mass, was caused by their opposition to Turk regime, being for the most part Subsaharans and oriental Christians. She adds that probably the outrage wouldn’t have been so strong if the supremacist imam would have been Moroccan!
After carrying an investigation, it looks like that precisely was the excerpt from Al-qawm al-kâfirîn (The infidel people) pronounced by the imam, the one that outraged the people attending the Mass. “It’s shocking because he pronounced precisely an excerpt of the Quran that precisely is about infidels“, said Ibrahim Erkan, local councillor (CDH, center party) of Aramaic origin and who speaks several languages, among others Arab and Turkish . [Note, it was precisely this man the one who protested the first, as he knew what the imam has said] (…)
Some participants think the imam has pronounced an excerpt of the Sura Al-Baqara (the cow) where we can find this passage: “It’s true: the unbelievers don’t believe now, they don’t care, even if you tell them: they will never believe. God has shut their hearts and ears; and a veil is covering their eyes; and for them a great punishment is awaiting.“ (…)
“There has been no improvisation, we have been discussing this for three months, to know what imam to choose“, says Béatrice Meulemans (SP.A). (…) I understand that it’s more difficult for Oriental Christians to listen to islam in a Church because they come from countries where there are conflcits between Islam and Christian minorities(…)”, she added.
For anyone interested: the complete sura can be found here: Arabic Quran Al Baqarah Surah 2. The Cow
But why is an imam invited to preach at a Catholic church in the National Day?
