American Catholic leaders and some of Iran's top religious figures issued a joint declaration that calls for the end of weapons of mass destruction and of terrorism - and the assigning of blame for terrorist acts to an entire religion.
"Christianity and Islam share a commitment to love and respect for the life, dignity and welfare of all members of the human community," said the declaration, dated August 18 and made public on August 24. "Both traditions reject transgressions and injustices as reprehensible, and oppose any actions that endanger the life, health, dignity or welfare of others. We hold a common commitment to peaceful coexistence and mutual respect."
