Lebanese Forces' chief Samir Geagea said Monday that the visit of Pope Francis to the United Arab Emirates is "historic in every sense of the word," adding that it has shown the true image of Islam, after it was tarnished by various groups that committed unprecedented levels of brutality.
"The scene we saw yesterday in the Emirates gives a clear idea about how the future in the Middle East will be," he stated.
In a statement he issued, Geagea also saluted the Emirati leadership on this brave and advanced move that will push many to follow suit, which will lead the Arab World towards a bright future.
