Pope praises Muslim Council of Elders, claims it is ‘committed to dispelling erroneous interpretations’ of Islam
The naive Francis twice said: “As-salamu alaikum!,” not realizing that in Islamic law, only Muslims may use that greeting, when greeting fellow Muslims.

But al-Tayyeb isn’t talking to them: he is one in an apparently endless succession of Muslim authorities who call upon the West to stop linking […]
