Pope invites Muslim leaders to find common ground
Pope Benedict invited Muslim leaders to discuss their request to find a common ground between the two religions in a letter signed by 138 Muslim religious authorities, according to the Guardian.
In the letter, Muslim leaders warned that the “survival of the world could be at stake� if the two religions failed.
In the Pope’s response, he said that atheism had “led to the greatest forms of cruelty and violations of justice,� and proposed a working group including both Muslim leaders and Vatican officials.
