On September 7, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller spoke at the "Tavola di Assisi 2026":
"Islam… is not ashamed of God (Its god is not the One Triune God), is not ashamed of transcendence, but it proposes an anthropology and a revelation radically different from Christian ones."
Invoking Saint Francis of Assisi's meeting with Sultan al-Malik al-Kamil, Müller rejected the modern interpretation of Francis as a precursor to interreligious dialogue:
"Francis did not go to Egypt to inaugurate a diplomatic salon, nor to confirm the sultan in his faith." (Translator's Note: But he certainly omitted proclaiming Jesus Christ, Son of the Father, as the only true God) On the contrary, he went convinced that Jesus Christ is the sole Savior (Not true).
For Cardinal Müller, calling Muslims to conversion "is not an act of hostility… on the contrary, it is the highest act of charity."
He also warned that the Christian West is not "merely threatened by external forces, but is being undermined by an internal apostasy."
