Una lunga striscia di sangue, tra Ramadan e Eid al Fitr, tra Dakha e Baghdad, e Medina e Qatif e Gedda, e Istanbul. Ancora più forte, dunque, l’abbraccio ai miei amici musulmani. I laici e i meno laici, i più devoti e i molto devoti. Un abbraccio forte, qui in Italia, a Gerusalemme e al Cairo.
A terrible flow of blood stained the holy month of Ramadan and it is also marring Eid el Fitr. From Dakha to Baghdad, from Medina and Qatif and Gedda to Istanbul. More than ever, I hug all my Muslim friends. A big hug to my Muslim friends here in Italy, and in my precious cities of Cairo and Jerusalem-Al Quds.
Eid Mubarak!
عيد مبارك
[May my Christian God and your Muslim God, and the Jewish God and the non-God of the atheists help us overcoming all together the terrible challenges we are facing, and bring peace to all of us].
