Comment from UTT:

Interfaith dialogue between Roman Catholics and Muslims continues to pave the way towards a one world religion. This of course should be no surprise to anyone who has read the Roman Catholic Catechism which states that Muslims and Roman Catholics worship the same God.

In the future we can expect to see this Roman Catholic-Muslim alliance become even more significant. This will not only happen in Australia but around the world. The fact that youth are being targeted indicates there is an agenda underway to shape the thinking of the next generation of leaders.

July 2 - Australian Muslim school to host hundreds of Catholic youth

SYDNEY -- An Australian Muslim school said Wednesday it will house hundreds of young Catholic pilgrims when Pope Benedict XVI travels to Sydney this month on a visit organizers hope encourages interfaith dialogue.

Malek Fahd Islamic School, in the southwestern suburb of Greenacre, said it would also be hosting about 350 pilgrims from July 14 until the Pope concludes his visit with a mass expected to attract up to 500,000 people on July 20.

"We've been regularly involved in interfaith dialogue with other schools and we thought it was our duty really," the school's welfare and discipline coordinator Enas Darwich told Agence France-Presse. "We didn't think twice about it."

"I haven't received any negative feed back at all from anyone," he said. "It's a good opportunity for them to see that there are many, many different types of religions that are around."

The organizers of World Youth Day, a six-day celebration of the Catholic faith aimed at young people, have stressed that they hope the event will be inclusive and not just for Catholics. "Like so much the church does... it seeks to serve all comers," coordinator Bishop Anthony Fisher said in May.

During his Sydney stay, Pope Benedict XVI will meet with 40 representatives of other faiths including Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu leaders. He will also meet with the Australian leaders of other Christian rites.
