Pope Benedict XVI has warned against the misuse of religion for political ends, in a speech to Muslim leaders on the second day of his visit to Jordan.
Speaking in the King Hussein Mosque in Amman, he argued that religion was a force for good, but its "manipulation" caused divisions and even violence.
The pontiff is touring a number of religiously significant sites in Jordan, and will also visit Israel and the West Bank during his eight-day trip.
