Christians and Muslims are "brothers" and, "despite being aware of the differences", they are called "to work together for justice, peace and respect for the rights and dignity of every person," said the message issued by the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue to world Muslims to mark the end of Ramadan (Id al-Fitr 1435 H./2014 AD) which will be celebrated on 27/28 July.
Titled 'Towards a Genuine Fraternity between Christians and Muslims', the message, signed by the president and the secretary of the Pontifical Council, respectively Card Jean-Louis Tauran and Father Miguel Ángel Ayuso Guixot MCCJ, calls on believers to work together "to build bridges of peace and promote reconciliation especially in areas where Muslims and Christians together suffer the horror of war."
