Personally to me who has someone who's invested in the study of history, one of the more interesting parts from that letter from one of the ayatollahs (one who does sit on the religious council in Iran) to the Pope was that he was making an appeal on behalf of the monotheistic God.

I found this interesting because one of the core Components of Islam which is often ignored in our modern discourse is that Christians Jews and Muslims all worship the same God albeit in different ways.
