Omar Atiq Chairperson of AMPI joined a an American Muslim delegation
invited to meet the 'Holy Father', the spiritual leader of a fifth of the
world's population, during his first visit to the United States. Besides
Muslims, others paying respect included Jews, Hindus, Jains and Buddhists.
The opportunity provided fertile
ground for a worthwhile discussion among the participants about religious
freedom, inter-religious dialogue and tolerance and acceptance of
other beliefs in furtherance of world peace. The congruence of views on
addressing many contentious matters was encouraging. This meeting took
place at the
John Paul II Cultural Center in
