Vatican asks for respect for all faiths from Muslims.

Vatican urges Muslim respect for all faiths | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited
Muslims must respect people of all faiths and not exclude them on the grounds of religion, race or any other personal characteristic, a senior Vatican official said this week. In a message to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the festival marking the end of Ramadan, the Pope's interfaith expert has called for a "culture of peace and solidarity" between different religious communities and to spread a teaching "which honours all human creatures".

Jean-Louis Cardinal Tauran, the newly-appointed president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, the Vatican's main liaison agency with the Muslim world, has previously expressed concern about the treatment of Christians in Muslim-majority countries.

If you're saying that Bush disrespected the Vatican, then explain your position, please.

If you are alluding to Bush saying that all religions worship the same God, there is a point to me made there.
