Mr. Sudheendra Kulkarni, a prominent Indian ex-politician, columnist, and the head of the Observer Research Foundation, undertook a significant initiative in Assisi, Italy. On September 20, he presented the renowned work "FATWA ON TERRORISM AND SUICIDE BOMBING" authored by Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri to Pope Francis, the 266th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church and the Bishop of Rome, Italy, as well as the Sovereign of the Vatican City.
This act of presenting Dr. Qadri's book on countering terrorism and suicide bombing to Pope Francis underscores the global importance of interfaith dialogue, peace, and the collaborative efforts to combat extremism and violence. It reflects a shared commitment to fostering understanding and harmony among different faiths and communities.
Such interactions and initiatives contribute to building bridges of mutual respect, tolerance, and cooperation between diverse religious traditions, ultimately working toward a more peaceful and harmonious world.
