Pope Francis has taken part in a Muslim prayer alongside the Grand Mufti
of Istanbul on the second leg of his three-day visit to Turkey. Francis
stood on Saturday morning with his head bowed and hands clasped in
front of him in a two minutes of silent prayer inside the 17th-century
Sultan Ahmet mosque, aiming to show respect for Islam and encourage
stronger ties between the two faiths.
"May God accept it," Rahmi Yaran, the Grand Mufti of Istanbul told the pope at the end of the prayer.
A group of school children waving Turkish and Vatican flags chanted
"Long live Pope Francis" as the pope cheerfully left the mosque.

@ephraim,prayin g
alongside someone doesn't mean praying to the same God, and by the
way,Muslims also worship God,just that their way of worship is different
from ours...let's not condemn but strive to exemplify unity like the
Holy Father just did.

Can
sudan of Sokoto enter church to pray? I cant enter mosque to pray! For
what? Light and darkness have nothing in common. Or does Christ has sth
in common with d devil?
