A MUSLIM leader was at the centre of a furious row today after being accused of comparing Pope John Paul II to the Prophet Muhammad.
Jalal Chaudry sparked an angry reaction from across Edinburgh by describing the late Pope as "God’s messenger of peace on this earth".
A furious group of worshippers from Edinburgh’s Central Mosque have told Mr Chaudry to resign as chairman of the Islamic Society of Scotland and apologise to the Muslim community.
But the community leader today refused to quit the newly-formed organisation.
Good for him. He did cave in and retract his statment however.
