Pope invites Muslim envoys to meeting on Sep 25

Vatican City, Sept 22: Pope Benedict has invited the ambassadors of Muslim countries at the Vatican, as well as Muslim religious leaders, to a meeting on Monday at his summer palace, a senior Vatican official today said.

The Vatican had said it would call such a meeting as part of diplomatic efforts to explain to offended Muslims that a speech in Germany last week seen as portraying Islam as violent has been misunderstood.
