Deutsche Welle reports that Pope Benedict XVI's Easter message today included a call for peaceful solutions in many of the world's trouble spots-- Darfur, Somalia, the Middle East and Tibet. According to CNN, at the Vatican's Saturday night Easter vigil Mass, the Pope baptized seven adults. One of those was the Italian newspaper editor Magdi Allam who was born in Egypt of Muslim parents. Allam, who is married to a Catholic, has become a prominent critic of Islamic extremism and a supporter of Israel. Many in Islam see conversion as apostasy that could be punishable by death. However a spokesman for Italy's Union of Islamic Communities merely said of Allam's decision: "He is an adult, free to make his personal choice."

Because, of course the *Italian* Muslims are the real heart and core of radical Islam, so know what the violent ones think of this...
Oh, and odd how the Pope, whose job is not to listen to anyone else about anything to do with religion thinks the rest of the religious world is going to listen to calls from him for peace. Its like... he is just completely clueless or something. lol
It's just possible, Kagehi, that the Pope is calling Christendom to peace --all the believers. But that won't cut any ice with terrorists; you are right about that. And they won't be nice to Allam either --if they can get ahold of him.
All ministers are to call the world to Christ, however, --not just those who already believe. Jesus came for all, died for the sins of all mankind, rose from the dead to conquor death for all of us --now it is our turn to respond in faith --or not. Jesus said we must believe in HIm to be saved.
