VATICAN CITY - Italy’s most prominent Muslim, an iconoclastic writer who condemned Islamic extremism and defended Israel,** converted to Catholicism Saturday in a baptism by the pope at a Vatican Easter service**

An Egyptian-born, non-practicing Muslim who is married to a Catholic, Magdi Allam infuriated some Muslims with his books and columns in the newspaper Corriere della Sera newspaper, where he is a deputy editor. He titled one book “Long Live Israel.”
As a choir sang, Pope Benedict XVI poured holy water over Allam’s head and said a brief prayer in Latin.

The guy has converted to Christianity, he was never a practicing Muslim, so who cares if pope baptizes him or muhallah ka pastor.
