8/21/2005
COLOGNE, Germany, AUG. 22, 2005 (Zenit) - Meets Muslim Leaders in Germany, Benedict XVI appealed to representatives of Islamic communities in Germany for a common commitment to prevent terrorism from poisoning relations between Muslims and Christians.
The Pope received the Muslim leaders on Saturday in the archbishop's palace in Cologne.
Terrorists, the Holy Father said in his address, "wish to poison our relations, making use of all means, including religion, to oppose every attempt to build a peaceful, fair and serene life together."
According to the Bishop of Rome, "terrorism of any kind is a perverse and cruel decision which shows contempt for the sacred right to life and undermines the very foundations of all civil society."
