There are a couple neat things about the Donald Trump versus Pope Francis spat.
Besides making for entertaining television , the scufflehas turned out to be a pretty good way to explain what Muslims mean when they say that theIslamic State isn’t Islamic.
In case you missed it, Pope Francis condemnedDonald Trump’s policies on Feb. 18: “A person,” the pontiff said, “who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and notbuilding bridges, is not Christian.
This is not the gospel.”
A predictably angry Trump fired back: “If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS, I can promise you that the Pope would have only wished and prayed thatDonald Trump would have been President.”
That escalated quickly.
But, as you can see, it’s not just me that’s interjecting ISIL and Islam into the debate.
