Al-Sistani spoke out against ISIS in 2014. His position was key in the Islamic State’s downfall.
“Every day we see that there are many impoverished Muslims, many more than us Christians. And we knew that we had to show Jesus' mercy to them too,” says Fr. Aram Pano, co-founder of The Good Samaritan.
Pope Francis' meeting with Shia leader, al-Sistani is seen as a landmark in Muslim-Christian relations.
