Dear Peter,
Thank you for drawing our attention to this profoundly shocking story; a tragic example of what happens when hate is fed by religious intolerance. I doubt that any of the murderers had read a word of what Pope Benedict had said, but it was enough for them that their leaders had told them it was anti-Muslim and yet another sign of the hydra-headed Christian conspiracy against Islam; that, and the devil in the hearts, was enough to do this evil act.
Father Iskander joins the (alas too plentiful in that region) ranks of the holy martyrs who have died because of their faith. We shall pray for him, and as k him to intercede for us.
In Christ,
John
