Ali Agca, the terrorist who tried to assassinate John Paul II wants to be baptized

Ali Agca, who tried to assassinate Pope John Paul II in 1981, now wants to be baptized in the Vatican.

According to the Turkish Daily Today's Zaman, Agca expressed to his attorney he is hoping to visit the tomb of John Paul II and meet with Benedict XVI.

Agca shot John Paul II on May 13, 1981 in St. Peter's Square. Later, John Paul II visited him in jail and forgave him. He is currently jailed in a Turkish prison for other crimes, but will be released next January.

I'm turkish and I want to tell you that we're really sorry turkish people doesn't agree what Agca did. John Paul II was a great man and a great pope and even if I don't agree with monotheism, I have to admit that he was a great man, God bless him.

Why can't people who practice all their life personally visit the pope, but the person who tried to kill him can?

Not fair :`(

@goodboy3456 Um...he didn't assassinate him.

[goodboy3456]

Mehmet Ali agca explained why he assassinated the john paul. Vatican helped him and encouraged the assassinated john paul due to the fatima miracle come true. And vatikan said that don t kill just hurt pope. After the assassination The media posted news like it is the soviet union that helped agca.

@Coupal1 Thank you for your will to talk with me. I know that your comment was connected with allegedly (I didn't listen such his declaration&so far he didn't make it so it could be "allegedly") Mehmet Ali Agca would want to be baptized. I decided to write to you because I expected that you can be from THE MUSLIM RELIGION so you should have been interested in such a fact that A MUSLIM Mehmet Ali Agca was IMPRISONED for 20 years despite HE didn't HURT J.P.II so that HE was A TOY in J.P.II HANDS!
