Grand Imam Calls on Muslims to 'Embrace' Christians amid Pope Francis' UAE Visit
Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, a prominent Islamic figure and the Grand Imam of al-Azhar in Egypt, called Christians "companions" of Muslims during a historic inter-faith summit in the UAE capital on Tuesday, which was also attended by Pope Francis, Sputnik News reports, referring to BBC.
"My message to you is: 'Embrace your Christian brothers and sisters. They are companions in the state. They are close to us. There are special bonds between us,'" he said.
Furthermore, he urged Muslims who reside in Western countries to integrate into local communities without losing their identities.
Pope Francis, on his part, called for an end to wars in the Middle East.
