Francis took off his shoes to step into the gold-topped dome, which enshrines the rock where Muslims believe the Prophet Mohammad ascended to heaven.
Speaking to the grand mufti of Jerusalem and other Muslim authorities, Francis deviated from his prepared remarks to refer not just to his "dear friends" but "dear brothers."
"May we respect and love one another as brothers and sisters," he said, and added, "May we learn to understand the suffering of others! May no one abuse the name of God through violence!"

Allah isn’t God and Moslems aren’t our “brothers.”

This is a great way to create more schisms in Christianity.

Just because they are brothers doesn’t mean that they can’t go bad.

He appears to be a socialist (with all the leftist garbage that goes with that) first and a Catholic second.

Maybe he should read a few history books too.

Able and Cain?
Jacob and Esau?
Isaac and Ishmael?

I have serious doubts about the Pope’s understanding of the struggle that lies ahead.

Just as we constantly remark, berate, attack, belittle and otherwise hate the POS in the white house ... Catholics shold at least begin to show some intelligence and maturity and come out against this imposter.

Although we were all created by God, only those who call upon the name of Jesus as Lord are our Brothers.
Or am I just being picky?
(But from someone who decries Western capitalism and feels an affinity to Che Guevera, calling a Muslim a "brother" may be apropo).

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. - John 1:12,13
My brothers are those who believe Jesus is their savior. This "All men are brothers" stuff is globalist, ecumenical hogwash.

Yes.
But that doesn not make them my brothers. Real brothers don’t chop the heads off their siblings.
