Pope To Pray For Terrorists at Ground Zero

(via Instapundit) Reportedly, the Pope will pray that Muslim terrorists convert to Christianity:
The Pope will pray for the redemption of Islamic terrorists when he visits the site of the September 11 attacks in New York next week.
The pontiff will call for terrorists to convert to Christianity, saying: “Turn to Your way of love those whose hearts and minds are consumed with hatred.
“God of understanding, overwhelmed by the magnitude of this tragedy, we seek your light and guidance”.
The prayer is likely to further incense the Muslim world, which has already attacked the Pope for publicly converting Magdi Allam, a journalist and one of Italy’s most high-profile Muslims, at Easter.
I’m not sure if that’s really a call to conversion, but it will probably incense radical Muslims anyway. What’s interesting to me personally is that I’ve been saying prayers for terrorists for quite some time now. Not asking that they convert to Christianity or anything, but that they develop some kind of compassion for the lives of others (particularly innocents), and realize how depraved and devoid of any good their actions are. I’ve often wondered if anyone else does this. I guess the Pope has had it mind as well.
