SANA (Syria): "Arab Team for Moslem-Christian Dialogue Voices Resentment Over Pope's Statements"

More reactions to the Pope's comments:
The Arab Team for Moslem-Christian Dialogue voiced resentment Over Pope's Statements voiced strong resentment over the latest statements of Pope Benedict XVI on Islam.

The Team, in statement in Beirut signed by its Head Judge Abbas al-Halabi and Secretary General Dr. Riad Jarjour, said that these statements were insult to the Moslems and Christians alike and a stab to their coexistence based on mutual respect, solidarity and fraternity.
The Team has a "Head Judge"? Shouldn't it have a Quarterback?
The Team questioned the real reasons behind this unprecedented discourse, particularly when the Pope quoted false paragraphs from other people.

The group said they were looking for an immediate initiative from the Pope in person to correct things and dissipate all doubts to prevent any negative reactions. They also call on Arab Moslems and Christians to exercise self-control and wisdom.
What would "self-control and wisdom" involve for an Arab Christian at this time? Not leaving the house?
