Vatican Agrees with Islam

[SedesDomi]

Christians and Muslims alike believe that it is their duty to show compassion toward every human being, given that God is compassionate, concluded the Islamic-Catholic Liaison Committee.

This was one of five conclusions from the 14th meeting of the committee, which was held in the Vatican last Wednesday through Friday…

The committee agreed on five points, the first being that “from the inherent dignity of each human being stem fundamental rights and duties.”

They added: "Justice is a priority in our world. It requires, beyond the implementation of the existing legal provisions, the respect of the fundamental needs of individuals and peoples through an attitude of love, fraternity and solidarity. There can be no true and lasting peace without justice.

"Peace is a gift from God and also requires the commitment of all human beings, and particularly believers, who are called to be vigilant witnesses to peace in a world afflicted by violence in many forms.

“Christians and Muslims believe that God is compassionate and therefore they consider it their duty to show compassion towards every human person, especially the needy and the weak.”

Finally, the committee affirmed that religions, “if authentically practiced, effectively contribute in promoting brotherhood and harmony in the human family.”

Ah, a good “put your money where your mouth is” statement.

Nice. But those are common humanitarian principles everyone must follow, regardless of race, creed, or nationality.

Now give me an official statement that says that the Vatican agrees with everything Islam stands for.

And by everything, I mean all Qur’anic exhortations, hadiths, Friday khutbahs, traditions, et cetera.
