Fox 23: Report: Kidnappers of beheaded priest demanded apology for pope's speech

Relatives of a beheaded Iraqi priest say his captors had demanded a church apology for recent papal comments about Islam.

They say the Orthodox priest was abducted Sunday by an unidentified group, which demanded a ransom. The kidnappers also wanted the priest's church to condemn controversial recent remarks by Pope Benedict. In a speech last month, the pope quoted a medieval text describing Islam as a religion spread by the sword.

Note the ignorance...

The relatives said the priest's church had already posted signs condemning the pope's statement. A similar message was posted again after the abduction. The priest's son had apparently been talking with the kidnappers by phone, and had agreed to pay a 40-thousand dollar ransom.

...and common criminality of the goat rapists.

But contact abruptly ceased Tuesday night. The priest's decapitated body was found yesterday in the northern Iraq city of Mosul.

May God have mercy on his soul.
