CAIRO — In a new Muslim gesture to promote inter-faith dialogue, 138 Muslim scholars have signed a Christmas message to the Christian clergy worldwide, including Pope Benedict XVI, reported the Financial Times on Saturday, December 22. “This is the first time a large group of Muslim scholars from across the schools greet their Christian neighbors,” said Prof. Aref Ali Nayed, one of the signatories to the New Year message. In their message, the Muslim scholars wished fellow Christians a merry Christmas and thanked Christian leaders for responding positively to an earlier open letter signed by them to bridge the Muslim-Christian gap. The 138 Muslim scholars and dignitaries from around the world sent in October an open letter to the world’s Christian clergy, including Pope Benedict, for dialogue based on commonalities between Islam and Christianity.
