Thrilled by Muslim World League Conference

I am absolutely and totally thrilled about this Conference, all the efforts and vision of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, and the approach that is being taken to the dialogue.

I see that the first working session is structured by giving foundational talks on dialoguing within and among the Islamic, Christian, Jewish and Oriental faiths. What a great start!
