"Saudi ruler suggests interfaith talks"

Source: The Catholic World Report, May 2008,page 14.

"Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah announced that he had been consulting Muslim religious leaders about the possibiity of initiating a dialogue involving other religions.

"King Abdullah said that he had discussed the possibility of talks among leaders of the three monotheistic faiths during a meeting last November with Pope Benedict XVI.

"He said he suggested the meetings, and the Pontiff reacted positively.

"[King Abdullah] reasoned that religious leaders of every faith should unite to support family life and to fight against atheism."

The hale and hearty old king also noted that family life is falling apart all over the world, thanks to secularism, and that's no good, period!

As he tells us in his own words:

"That is unacceptable to all religions -- to the Qu'ran, the Torah, and the Bible."

Right - on, Your Highness...!
