That a journalist would misinterpret the Pope's argument is puzzling coming from a journalist. Yet it proves what is implied in Pope's speech, namely that failure to employ reason in dialog cripples its outcome. Meacham misses two important points: violence in any religion is inconsistent with the nature of the God of Christianity; the islamic reactions to the Pope's comments prove the Pope right.
That the dean of the Harvard Divinity School would state that "Historically, there is no more basis for arguing that Islam is irrational than there is for arguing the same about Christianity or Judaism" proves that Mr. Graham must not have read either the Bible or the Koran. He fails to take into account that the holy books provide the ideological basis for each religion. Read side by side it is unquestionable which one provides historical and rational consistency and prophetic integrity.
