No comment necessary.

AsiaNews: The Franciscan friars of Lahore celebrated the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad along with some Muslim families. The interfaith celebration was held yesterday at the “Dar ul Naeem”, center of Franciscan formation, during which the two religious communities also exchanged Christmas wishes.

Fr. Jamil Albert, coordinator of the Justice Peace and Integrity with Creation (JPIC), told AsiaNews: “”This is the first time we invited everybody for the joint Eid and Christmas feast. The clerics are more than our friends, many showed up despite differences within Islamic sects as to whether the day should be observed or not. The example of Eid celebration in Christian’s house will inspire the whole country”. More here.
