Holy Mosques for dialogue among followers of religions and cultures.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Adel Al-Sheddi, the Secretary-General of the
global program for introducing the Prophet of Mercy, said the initiative will
have a positive impact as regards spreading the human values and enhancing
understanding among the followers of religions and cultures.
