WASHINGTON (CNS) — The declaration signed by Pope Francis and Sheik Ahmad el-Tayeb, the grand imam of al-Azhar, during the pope’s trip to the United Arab Emirates “is a clarion call for robust dialogue that leads to peace,” said the Catholic chairman of the National Catholic-Muslim Dialogue and the chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs.

“In our increasingly hostile world in which violence too often predominates between Christians and Muslims — violence that has led to tragic consequences for the most vulnerable humans — we welcome with great joy this historic joint statement on human fraternity,” said Cardinal Blase J. Cupich of Chicago and Bishop Joseph C. Bambera of Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Pope Francis and Sheik el-Tayeb, a leading religious authority for many Sunni Muslims around the world, signed “A Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together” Feb. 4 in Abu Dhabi.

“We, who believe in God and in the final meeting with him and his judgment, on the basis of our religious and moral responsibility, and through this document, call upon ourselves, upon the leaders of the world as well as the architects of international policy and world economy, to work strenuously to spread the culture of tolerance and of living together in peace,” the document said.

“is a clarion call for robust dialogue that leads to peace,”

What a weak-minded individual. Has this "Pope" ever read a history book?

I didn't select my tagline for nuthin':

There is no great virtue in bargaining with the Devil

[Delta 21]

Idiocy.

[BuffaloJack]

The pope is an appeasement weasel commie.

[Leaning Right]

The naive one meets the tyrant. So, yeah. The picture in your post #1 would go well along side this one.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Is the Pope surrendering? “Peace in Our Time.”

[Dont tread and Live]

this would be like Christ joining Satan in a compromise....would never happen.....and the pope is suppose to be Christs Vicar on earth? ....think again people.

[Ingtar]

Just remember, to Muslims, Peace means submission/surrender to the Muslim faith/political system.

What does the pope expect from a religion that explicitly directs followers to lie to non believers?

[Vaquero]

Anti Pope.

Ratzinger was the lasts and current pope in my eyes.

Pius XII was the greatest pope of the past century. Vatican 2 destroyed the church.

[HangnJudge]

This Pope is trying to make nice-nice with
the followers of a cruel and murderous prophet

..Those who are kind to the cruel,
in the end will be cruel to the kind.

Qohelet Raba, 7:16

כל מי שנעשה רחמן במקום אכזרי סוף שנעשה אכזרי במקום רחמן

Kol mi shena`asa rahaman bimqom akhzari Sof shena`asa akhzari bimqom rahaman

All who are made to be compassionate in the place of the cruel
In the end are made to be cruel in the place of the compassionate

Absolutely disgusting. Sickening.

They are forming the one world religion that revelations talks about.

Am I the only one not surprised?

At times I want, like Muslims, to have secular laws against blasphemy, against Christianity, for at times, blasphemy is what I believe we hear from certain “Christian” religious and non-religious leaders.
