On Monday the pope gave a rare mass on the Arabian peninsula where he embraced the radical cleric Ahmed-el Tayeb who on multiple occasions has called for the killing of christian converts. Ahmed-el Tayeb is Sunni Islams highest authority and often speaks out against western values, homosexuality as well as the calling for the killing of apostates.
Pope Francis and Dr Ahmed Al Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al Azhar, sign a historic ‘Human Fraternity’ agreement in Abu Dhabi.
