Yesterday, a Twitter user identified as @halalhomer_ stirred conversations online after he posted a picture of the pope kissing the shoe of the president of South Sudan as a form of respect to beg them to end the war as millions of innocent lives had been lost in the war, however, the user posted the video as a mockery to the Christian religion and Christian users took to the comments section to school him. He posted the picture of the pope kissing the leg of the South Sudan president and captioned it
“Astaghfirullah, the pope bowing at the feet of a
human being. In Islam, we only bow to Allah. Alhamdullilah for Islam”.
Christian users who didn't agree with his debate shared the following in the comment section;

“If the first emotion that you feel at seeing a man in his 80s who has chronic leg pain kissing the feet of warring party leaders to stop the bloodshed is not awe at his humanity then you need to introspect. Not everything is about us vs. them. Appreciate the powerful display of”.

“The pope knelt to beg the leaders of South Sudan to end the war and stop the unnecessary killings. This kneeling led to the end of the war. Today, South Sudan is at peace. Probably, if the Imams in Sudan can kneel and beg for peace, we won't have this global”.

“That singular act (an appeal to warring factions) from the Pope drastically reduced the war in South Sudan and saved millions of lives. The Pope is not a Muslim, practice your religion as you see fit and let the Pope practice his in peace”.

“Lol, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, a true leader is a servant of his people and needs to project humility at any given opportunity If Islam is the type they're practicing in northern Nigeria where there is a 90% poverty rate then I don't want”.

“I am a Muslim but you're wrong for this. When did
you start chasing clout with other people's religion
or action? Lakum dinkum wal yadin( Your religion is for you and mine for me)- Surah Al-kafirin”.

“This act stopped all the warring factions in South Sudan for years. He did this to beg them and they
all had to comply cos this was out of protocol for the pope to do. This singular act saved millions from dying.
I'm sure God is happy with that”.
@Letter to Jack
“This happened in 2019. The Pope in a rare gesture of humility and servanthood knelt down and kissed the feet of South Sudan president Salva Kir, his main opponent, Riek Machar and three other Vice Presidents in Rome to appeal to them to stop fighting and Respect the peace deal they made in September 2018. Since the Pope's rare gesture, armed violence has reduced significantly in South Sudan. The UN even confirmed that some provisions of the peace accord
have been successfully implemented. He didn't bow to them, he kissed their feet to appeal to them to end fighting and save lives, as if he was the lowliest of servants among them. That's what Jesus would do.”.
