Not a good precedent, even if well-meant.
Isn’t this equal to a symbolic conquering of the site of the prayers?
“At the Vatican” where? Not in St. Peter’s or another consecrated space, I trust.
This is totally unacceptable.
This is opening the door to evil. Or maybe it was always open?

The Pope Just Invited Islam Into The Vatican, Christians Aghast
According to a recent Times of Israel report, Islamic and Jewish representatives will join Pope Francis for an interfaith event Sunday at the Vatican. Israeli President Shimon Peres confirmed the news following a visit to his country by the Catholic leader last week.
Pope Francis invited representatives of the two faiths – Peres and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas – to the prayer summit, which will focus on peace among the often embattled monotheistic religions.
The leaders will recite applicable passages from their respective holy books.
Peres confirmed the delegation representing Israel will include influential citizens from the Jewish, Muslim, and Druze communities. Abbas will reportedly likewise include Christians in his delegation.
Out of respect for Jewish religious culture, the gathering will not be held in a venue dedicated to prayer but in an unadorned garden at the Vatican. Viewers around the world will be able to witness the interfaith event via a live broadcast.
Marking the first time Islamic prayer will be held at the Catholic palace, many question the propriety of hosting leaders of a faith that teaches the conversion or slaughter of nonbelievers.
A sense of disbelief was evident in a series of Twitter posts Friday afternoon:

Ok, one thing in this confused world that I DO NOT GET is how the same college of cardinals that gave us Benedict have give us this crazy man.
I’m done with Pope Francis.
FLAME AWAY!
Isn’t it wonderful that we’re all getting along now?
The Pope is not a leader, he only mirrors most of the rest of Catholicism.
Let’s see how receptive Francis and his enablers are to Islam when its adherents spill blood in the Vatican. At the very least, expect Abbas and his escorts to carefully monitor the ventilation system.
Yuck! His Holiness should read the Koran all about subjugation g or killing Christians , Jews, other innocent people. Respectfully, this is ungood. There is nothing equivalent or holy at all about Islam in particular. It is uniquely hostile to us and just about everyone else on rock Three. The Church should not be seen as affording it any legitimacy or respect. A Confusing signal to the Christian faithful.
This will of course be reciprocated with the Holy Father reciting the Lord’s Prayer from atop the Kaba in Mecca....NOT!
So, when will Christians and Jews be saying prayers and reading from their sacred books in Mecca and Medina?
Ping.
Read the comments. There are quite a few Roman Catholics, errr, well… PROTESTING!
According to the Quaran, that consecrated the Vatican to Islam.
Do we have an anti-Pope or just a fool as Pope?
One thing that the Roman Empire was always hard at work with: propaganda.
When you the Abomination that brings Desolation in the Temple of the Lord, flee.
Doing this makes the church (in muslim eyes) a mosque. Never to go back.
Is the Pope mad, or just evil?
Notice it is Peres and NOT Bibi that is present at this unholy event. Peres never hesitates to sell Israel up the river! There will be NO peace until Jesus comes.
