If the Vatican truly wishes to make an impact upon the Islamic world they only need to do one thing. Formally recognize Yerushalayim, the city Jesus walked, as the eternal capital of the Jewish people.

Unlikely. The Vatican and its emissaries have played Dhimmi for centuries, and it is an old habit hard to kick. Still, hope never dies, especially in the heart of the People that Jesus of Nazareth knew as his own prior to any Roman.

From Evil, deliverance. Islam, having revealed and revelling in its murderous nature will drive the Jew and Christian together, force a great reconcilliation that will the world a better place
