'The era of crusades and jihads is over'

The era of crusades and jihads is over and Muslims and Christians should strive to coexist and not allow extremists to drag the world into a war of religions, Senegal's president said ahead of an Islamic summit this week.

President Abdoulaye Wade made the appeal before a meeting of the world's biggest Islamic body, the 57-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), which he is hosting in the Senegalese capital on Thursday and Friday.
