...seeking converts. In Cameroon, during one of several meetings he arranged with Muslim chieftains, John Paul addressed them as "brothers," and urged them to "walk hand in hand" with Christians "to serve God and humanity." Before returning to Rome this week, the Pope for the first time was to accept an invitation from the head of an Islamic state, King Hassan II of Morocco, to deliver an unprecedented speech to 60,000 Muslim youths gathered in Casablanca for the Pan-Islamic Games. The Pontiff hoped that this appearance would encourage the forces of toleration within Islam, and that his latest...
