Washington — Evangelical megachurch pastor Rick Warren says the country’s largest Islamic organization showed courage when it invited him to speak at its annual convention.
Warren is the founder of Saddleback Community Church in Orange County, Calif., and one of the most prominent religious leaders in the U.S. He addressed the annual convention of the Islamic Society of North America on Saturday night.
He says the two largest faiths — Muslims and Christians — must work together to combat stereotypes, promote peace and freedom and solve global problems.
The pastor’s appearance at the convention was criticized ahead of time by some fellow conservative Christians.

Nice going Rick Warren. I don't agree with some of the things he has said in the past, but this was great. If we could get all the religious fanatics to stop hating others and trying to kill everyone not like them, our world would be a much better place.
