Some cheering news from World Youth Day: Australian Muslims offer prayers for WYD. Quoth Australian Federation of Islamic Councils president Ikebal Patel: "I take this opportunity on behalf of the Muslims of Australia to also extend our good wishes to all Australians of all faiths on this auspicious occasion of World Youth Day and pray for peace, harmony and goodwill among all Australians and peoples all over the world. We also take this occasion as Australian Muslims to welcome His Holiness Pope Benedict as well as all other pilgrims to Australia." It's not just words; an Islamic school is hosting hundreds of Catholic visitors.

ETA: The kids have been asked to leave home their iPods and mobile phones and stuff. (How sweet is this guy? Hee hee hee hee hee.)
