Sept. 18 - The head of China's Muslim society expressed on Monday his deep anger over remarks made by Pope Benedict XVI on Sept. 12, when he cited the words of a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of Islam's Prophet Muhammad as "evil and inhuman1".
"In his speech, Benedict had insulted both Islam and the Prophet Muhammad," said Chen Guangyuan, president of Islamic Association of China in an exclusive interview with Xinhua. "This has gravely hurt the feelings of the Muslims across the world, including those from China," Chen said. "Both the Islamic Association of China and Chinese Muslim would express their anger and condemnation2 over Benedict's words," he said. "We strongly request Pope Benedict XVI to immediately take back his words and apologize openly and in person," said the president.
