VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The credibility of Christianity and Islam are at risk if believers do not make a stand against terrorism, a top Vatican cardinal said on Friday.
In a greeting to Muslims at the end of their annual Ramadan fast, the Vatican's head of inter-religious dialogue said the world needed "Christians and Muslims who respect and value each other".
The Vatican greets Muslims at the end of every Ramadan, but this year's message comes at a particularly sensitive time for relations between the two religions after Pope Benedict made a speech last month which offended many in the Islamic world.
Cardinal Paul Poupard said the two religions, which "give great importance to love, compassion and solidarity", had to fight the "particularly painful scourge" of violence and terrorism.
