Times Online - West risks obsession with Islam, warns Vatican

The Vatican has given warning that the West’s efforts at inter-faith dialogue must not be “held hostage” by Islam and are in danger of becoming “obsessed” with it at the expense of other religions.

Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, head of the Pontifical Council for Inter-Religious Dialogue, said that the Church “has to have regard for all religions”. He said that the council had this week discussed new guidelines for inter-faith dialogue.

“What was interesting about our discussions was that we did not concentrate on Islam because in a way we are being held hostage by Islam a little bit,” he told the Catholic website Terrasanta.net. “Islam is very important, but there are also other great Asiatic religious traditions. Islam is one religion.”

Hmm.
