Pope Francis prayed on Saturday on the second day of his visit to Turkey alongside a senior Islamic cleric in Istanbul’s Blue Mosque.

The blue mosque, known officially as the Sultanahmet Mosque, opened in 1616 and was the most famous in Turkey.
Its popular name was a reference to the fine blue Iznik tiles in its main prayer room.

The Vatican City spokesman described it as a gesture of inter-religious harmony and a joint “moment of silent adoration” of God.
Francis took off his shoes as he entered the huge mosque before bowing his head in prayer for several minutes, facing Mecca and standing next to Istanbul’s Grand Mufti Rahmi Yaran.
A similar act by his predecessor Pope Benedict in 2006 drew criticism from conservative Catholics and some Muslims.
Halil Ibrahim Cil, 24, a hospital worker from Istanbul, said there was need to show respect for each other’s beliefs.
He said God willing the pope’s visit would help in this respect.

“We want to practice our religion in peace, as we want people to understand Islam, more so we don’t want war, Islam is a religion of peace’’, he said.
Hundreds of people, many of them tourists, watched from behind police barriers as the pope then walked to the nearby Aya Sofya museum, once the Christian church Hagia Sophia.
A group of school children waving Turkish and Vatican flags chanted “Long live Pope Francis” in Italian as the Muslim call to prayer rang out across the Sultanahmet square, the heart of Istanbul’s historic quarter.
Pope would later in the day, celebrate Mass at the Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Spirit and then meet the leader of the Orthodox Church, Bartholomew.

Discussions at Bartholomew are expected to focus on healing the schism in the Christian Church in 1054 that divided Rome and Constantinople.
Islamic State insurgents have captured swathes of neighbouring Syria and Iraq, persecuting and killing Shi’ite Muslims, Christians and others who do not share their ultra-radical brand of Sunni Islam.

Sorry, I don't believe your assertion.

The phrase “god of this world” (or
“god of this age”) indicates that Satan is the
major influence on the ideals, opinions,
goals, hopes and views of the majority of
people. His influence also encompasses the
world’s philosophies, education, and
commerce. The thoughts, ideas,
speculations and false religions of the world
are under his control and have sprung from
his lies and deceptions.
Satan is also called the "prince of the power
of the air" in Ephesians 2:2. He is the "ruler
of this world" in John 12:31. These titles and
many more signify Satan’s capabilities. To
say, for example, that Satan is the "prince of
the power of the air" is to signify that in
some way he rules over the world and the
people in it.
This is not to say that he rules the world
completely; God is still sovereign. But it
does mean that God, in His infinite wisdom,
has allowed Satan to operate in this world
within the boundaries God has set for him.
When the Bible says Satan has power over
the world, we must remember that God has
given him domain over unbelievers only.
Believers are no longer under the rule of
Satan (Colossians 1:13). Unbelievers, on the
other hand, are caught "in the snare of the
devil" (2 Timothy 2:26), lie in the "power of
the evil one" (1 John 5:19), and are in
bondage to Satan (Ephesians 2:2).
So, when the Bible says that Satan is the
"god of this world," it is not saying that he
has ultimate authority. It is conveying the
idea that Satan rules over the unbelieving
world in a specific way. In 2 Corinthians 4:4,
the unbeliever follows Satan's agenda: "The
god of this world has blinded the minds of
unbelievers, so that they cannot see the
light of the gospel of the glory of Christ."
Satan's scheme includes promoting false
philosophies in the world—philosophies
that blind the unbeliever to the truth of the
Gospel. Satan’s philosophies are the
fortresses in which people are imprisoned,
and they must be set free by Christ.
An example of one such false philosophy is
the belief that man can earn God's favor by
a certain act or acts. In almost every false
religion, meriting God’s favor or earning
eternal life is a predominant theme. Earning
salvation by works, however, is contrary to
biblical revelation. Man cannot work to earn
God's favor; eternal life is a free gift (see
Ephesians 2:8-9). And that free gift is
available through Jesus Christ and Him
alone (John 3:16; 14:6). You may ask why
mankind does not simply receive the free
gift of salvation (John 1:12). The answer is
that Satan—the god of this world—has
tempted mankind to follow his pride
instead. Satan sets the agenda, the
unbelieving world follows, and mankind
continues to be deceived. It is no wonder
that Scripture calls Satan a liar (John 8:44)

When u talk of the devil as the ruler of this earth, that means he controls everything. Has he stopped anyone from doing the right thing?

If he is the ruler of this earth, then presidents will be his sub-rulers. Do you think these rulers of this world are really followers of the devil?

So, u mean ur president is a satanist.

when Jesus was tempted ,satan showed him the kingdom of the world,that is to say Yahweh have given him this period to rule earth,it is in revelations,so after the reign of satan ,yeshua(Jesus) will come to rule the world as the prince of peace!

Auzubillah. Anyway, the King is not necessarily a religious figure. Just an ordinary worshipper like every one else.
