Nobody--- certainly not Pope Francis --- would say they were identical.

...but that wasn't quite the issue...forthere wasn't the claim that the new pope said they were "identical"...

However, he did say;

"...Muslims, who worship the one living and merciful God, and call upon Him in prayer."

I would like to see one thread where the discussion stays on the topic rather then opening up the thread, and seeing the second post engaging in the usual muckraking.

This is why we have Caucus threads in the first place, so that we can actually read and enjoy them. If you don’t like the Pope - please go somewhere else.

Don't you agree that the Muslims hold many distorted beliefs and wrong concepts about the Creator of all things of whom they speak?
