Maybe you'll find a small, a very, very small minority who do not accept it, but I can mention that everywhere in the world when the pope is visiting, there will be a few small majority (means minority) who resist or have some ideas against that but nothing special. The situation is a very good situation and the event will be very beautiful one, nice one, in very, very good atmosphere.\"\u003cbr/\u003e25. Pull back from the Church of the Annunciation to construction equipment\u003cbr/\u003eThe tractors digging into the earth on a hillside overlooking Nazareth are one of many signs that this biblical city is preparing for an important visitor.\u003cbr/\u003ePope Benedict XVI is set to hold a mass for thousands on this spot known as Mount Precipice, where Christians believe a mob pursued Jesus and tried to throw him off a cliff.\u003cbr/\u003eIt was feared the Pope would receive a cool welcome from the people of Jesus's boyhood town and that tensions between Christians and Muslims might boil over as the Pope arrived.\u003cbr/\u003eBut religious leaders from the city have played down the tension, which ignited after a 2006 speech in which Benedict quoted a medieval text depicting the Prophet as violent. \u003cbr/\u003eWorshippers say the Pope's visit is a chance for the two religions to affirm their kinship and their belief in the same God.\u003cbr/\u003eBenedict plans to meet with Muslim leaders, throughout his 8 to 15 May tour of the Holy Land, which includes stops in Jordan, the West Bank, Jerusalem and Nazareth, one of Israel's largest Arab cities.\u003cbr/\u003eBut he will not meet with Nazem Abu Salim, a radical Muslim preacher, whose followers put up a banner condemning those who insult Islam's Prophet Muhammad right next to the Church of the Annunciation, where tradition says the Angel Gabriel told Mary she would give birth to Jesus.\u003cbr/\u003eIslamic leaders in Israel are divided over the visit.\u003cbr/\u003eOne of the leading Muslim groups in Israel, the Northern Islamic Movement, is calling for a boycott of meetings unless Benedict apologises for his 2006 remarks, said a spokesman, Zahi Nujeidat. \u003cbr/\u003eThe movement, which has not been invited to meet with the pontiff, can marshal thousands of supporters, but has not yet decided whether to stage protests.\u003cbr/\u003eOther Muslim clerics said they would sit down with Benedict,  but ask for an apology. One of those is Sheik Taysir Tamimi, a leading cleric in the Palestinian Authority, which has welcomed the pope's trip.\u003cbr/\u003eSheikh Nasser Darawashe, Imam of the White Mosque, said his Mosque and the Church of the Annunciation were connected.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We have a friendly relationship for hundreds of years and that is true today and will continue in the future with God's help,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eMuslims are a growing and increasingly assertive majority in Nazareth, which is 70 percent Muslim, but has a communist mayor from the city's Christian community.\u003cbr/\u003eA decade ago, brawls erupted over Muslim attempts to build a mosque beside the Church of the Annunciation. \u003cbr/\u003eThe project was eventually thwarted. \u003cbr/\u003eWhat remains is a stone-paved square and a small mosque, headed by Nazem Abu Salim.\u003cbr/\u003eNazareth is one of the main cities for Israel's Arab minority, who make up around 20 percent of the country's seven (m) million people. \u003cbr/\u003eChristians number around 120,000 of the Arab community, roughly half Catholic and half Eastern Orthodox.\u003cbr/\u003eBenedict's 2006 speech citing an obscure medieval text that characterised some of Muhammad's teachings as \"evil and inhuman\" sparked protests in the West Bank and Gaza though not in Israel. \u003cbr/\u003eBenedict later said the text did not reflect his views, but many Muslims believe he did not apologise properly.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Nazareth, the pontiff is to visit the Church of the Annunciation, host an interfaith discussion and meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. \u003cbr/\u003eThe pope will strive to improve interfaith relations throughout his tour, said Wadi Abunassar, a spokesman for the pontiff's visit.\u003cbr/\u003eNazareth's local government has set aside five (m) million US dollars to spruce up the crowded, shabby city overlooking the Galilee hills, hoping the papal visit will boost tourism, Mayor Ramiz Jaraisy said.\u003cbr/\u003e\"All the population of Nazareth, Muslims and Christians as well are expecting this visit and welcoming the pope in this visit,\" he said, adding that there may be a \"very, very small minority\" who would not accept it.\u003cbr/\u003eAmjad Sabara, head priest at the Church of the Annunciation, said Muslims were \"thinking of what this pope has said many years ago.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"They want that His Holiness will clarify that there is nothing between the Muslims and Christians and we are believing in one God and we have to continue living here in the Holy Land,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more
