The “cordial” talks also stressed common spiritual values, the statement said.

Mutual hate for Sunni?

Pope urges Iran to fight? It seems a bit odd for a pope to urge anyone to fight, especially a country who is already fighting the terrorist he speaks of.

May lasting peace and prosperity be the recompense for people whose actions are base in true goodwill.

Iranian soldiers are in the mud taking bullets and some of them are getting killed, that's a much greater contribution to the fight against terror than flying a plane 10,000 feet above the battle and pressing a button.

Yup. Soldiers on the ground destroy the enemy's will to fight. Not bombing them from the air. Obama has got it all wrong.

Why isn't the pope urging them to take refugees? This guy had the nerve to comment on and urge americans to have "compassion" and "tolerance" of illegal immigrants, during his US visit. Imagine that!

I will pray too. We rant about Iran and Syria being our enemy , but they are much less an enemy than Saudi Arabia and Qatar. I suppose to the press it all depends on who you want to profit from exploiting people. Prayer is surely the best answer and may God's will be done.

Iran taking in Sunni refugees? Iran's compassion and tolerance only go so far

But muslims share Islam. All muslims believe in peace, love, devoting etc. . . . Why can't they rules be bent a little? Ohh- but the West (christians) are obligated to accept everyone & their mother. Its nonsense-

"Pope urges Iran to join fight against terrorism"

Good grief, can one get any more clueless? Sunni terrorism, sure! The Iranian mullah will completely agree. But did the genius pople mention Shia terrorism? Hizb-allah? Al-Kodz day? Teherans promise to wipe out the "dirty bacteria" Israel?

This pope is an embarrassment.
