Pope asks Muslims, Christians to promote respect

Pope Francis on Sunday expressed the hope that Muslims can work together with Christians to promote mutual respect.     

The pope spoke from his studio window overlooking Saint Peter's Square during his traditional Sunday appearance.      

"I would like to greet the Muslims all around the world, our brothers, who have recently celebrated the end of the month of Ramadan, specially dedicated to fasting, praying and almsgiving," he said.             

"I wish that Christians and Muslims will commit to promote mutual respect, especially through education of new generations."                  

Tens of thousands of Romans and tourists turned out in the square in blistering heat for the papal appearance and blessing.      

Francis has decided to spend summer at the Vatican instead of at the customary papal villa in Castel Gandolfo, a hill town southeast of Rome where the weather is usually cooler, especially on summer evenings.
