The Pope sent a statement, and the grand imam of Al-Azhar gave a video address, both calling for brotherhood. "Today’s globalized world has brought all of us closer together, yet it has not made us any more fraternal. Indeed, we are suffering from a famine of fraternity ..."
The grand imam of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, and Pope Francis addressed the UN Security last week.
The Pope’s address was a statement read by Archbishop Paul Gallagher, secretary for Relations with States and International Organizations, while the imam’s address was a video message.
Both religious leaders called for human fraternity, as they have since their joint appeal signed in 2019.
Citing Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and Yemen, Al-Tayeb called for an end to senseless wars, and alluded to the Ukraine conflict as a threat of humanity regressing “to a primitive era.”
The imam said that political leaders must take up the call to fraternity launched by the 2019 document.
Below is the full text of the Pope’s address:
_
Madam President of the Security Council,
Mr Secretary General
, Dear Brother, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I thank you for this kind invitation to address you, which I willingly accepted because we are living at a crucial moment for humanity, in which peace seems to give way to war. Conflicts are growing, and stability is increasingly put at risk. We are experiencing a third world war fought piecemeal, which, as time passes, seems to become ever more widespread. This Council, whose mandate is to safeguard the world’s security and peace, at times seems in people’s eyes to be powerless and paralyzed. Yet your work, much appreciated by the Holy See, is essential in order to promote peace.

Singularity.
The Catholic Church and Islam can unite around Mary.
I don’t think so, sadly.
They’re both false prophets.
A pope and imam walk into a bar...
Just another joke, but in real life.
Surah 4:171
O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not “Three” - Cease! (it is) better for you! - Allah is only One Allah. Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.
Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, Manat and Hubal?
Quran (53:19-23)
So the epileptic false “prophet” of a phony religion says Allah, his name for “god,” did not have a son, but he had three daughters? Nonsense.
