But the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator. In the first place amongst these there are the Mohamedans, who, professing to hold the faith of Abraham, along with us adore the one and merciful God, who on the last day will judge mankind.

Nevertheless, the religiosity of Muslims deserves respect. It is impossible not to admire, for example, their fidelity to prayer. The image of believers in Allah who, without caring about time or place, fall to their knees and immerse themselves in prayer remains a model for all those who invoke the true God, in particular for those Christians who, having deserted their magnificent cathedrals, pray only a little or not at all.

Go post your encyclical to the Sudanes chrtistn -all 2 million - who have been genocided by the "peaceful" muslims.

With all due respect the Pope does not speak for millions of Christians who have endured and suffered at the bloddy hands of muslims

The Meccan idol-god is not the God of Abraham.

Thanks, but I don't look to the Pope (a man) anymore than I look to the POTUS (another man) to lie to me about Allah, a 3000 year old dead moon god, being the same as God Almighty.

Islam is a cult of death, not just the radicals, the whole dern 'religion'.
