American Muslims Accept Pope’s Apology

United Muslims of America Interfaith Alliance (UMAIA)

It is time to move on. We take Pope Benedict’s apology seriously and we urge American Muslims to take leadership positions to condemn religiously motivated violence and work more deligently for building inter-religious cultures of peace and healing.

We deeply regret the violence and the loss of life that has occured. This is not acceptable.

We also accept our inability to control the actions of 1.3 billion Muslims spread all over the world.
