I suppose this could be construed as another control attempt by 'religion'Catholic and Muslim officials have proposed rewriting school books to eliminate any offensive language about each others' religions.
The proposal was put forward in a joint statement issued after talks in Vatican City between delegations from Cairo's Al Azhar University and senior Catholic officials.
"Scholastic books should be revised in order not to contain material which may offend the religious sentiments of other believers, at times through the erroneous presentation of dogmas, morals or history," they wrote.
The statement did not say how exactly the world's two largest faiths intended to go about rewriting school books.
Last November, senior Vatican and Islamic scholars held their first Catholic-Muslim Forum and discussed the need to stop the spread of mistaken impressions about the religions by improving the books used to teach about them.
The joint statement also noted the need to shield youth from religious extremism and violence.
