On March 6th the Pope met with Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, widely considered one of the highest authorities of Shia Muslim thought. <\/p>\n
Muslims in the United States see the meeting as the fulfillment of Pope Francis\u2019 mission to engage in dialogue with the entirety of the two main branches of the Muslim world. <\/p>\n
SAYYID M. B. KASHMIRI Sayyid Muhammad Baqir Kashmiri, is the North American point of reference for Shia Muslims. <\/p>\n He says the meeting between al-Sistani and Pope Francis will have positive consequences, both for Muslims and Christians, in many countries. <\/p>\n Now the Pope is back in Rome, the task of bridgebuilding falls to individuals of different faiths working for peace.<\/p>\n SAYYID M. B. KASHMIRI \u201cWe have to work strongly, precisely, and close to each other to bring more peace, more tolerance, and stand in front of any unfairness.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n The world may be surprised to discover that, despite its recent history of conflict and suffering, Iraq can still be a model for dialogue and peace. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Justin McLellan<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" March 19, 2021.
