ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE -- Pope Francis on Sunday said he won't label Islam as "terrorist" because that would be unfair and not true.

Reporters aboard the papal plane flying him home after a pilgrimage to Poland that began the day after extremists slit the throat of an elderly priest celebrating Mass in a French church, asked him why he never uses the world "Islam" to describe terrorism or other violence.

While in Poland, Francis made an unscheduled stop at a church in Krakow to implore God to protect people from the "devastating wave" of terrorism in many part of the world.

Francis replied that "it's not right to identify Islam with violence. It's not right and it's not true."

[[He added: "I believe that in every religion there is always a little fundamentalist group."]]

The koran tells you to do everything the bible tells you not to do. If he actually read his bible like fundamental Christians do and believed it he would easily be able to tell the difference between it and Islam.

Well the Vatican is now in support of Lucifer, so it makes sense.

Instead of making excuses for Islam, he should be proclaiming a crusade against it.

To label Pope Francis as a God-fearing, orthodox Catholic would be unfair and not true.

Catholics aren’t going to do anything, so he is free to keep on with this.

I wonder what the look on his face will be when sharia takes over the Vatican. Will he ask for forgivness? Will he be shocked as he is beheaded?

The slime ball in the dress is trying to use Islam to get Jerusalem . He will eventually find himself at the end of one of their blades since they do plan on getting the Vatican.

Is there any doubt that there has been a coup in the Vatican?

The more devout a Muslim becomes, the more dangerous he gets.

He is such a ‘historic’ pope. Being the first from the Western Hemisphere and all.

I expect the Vatican walls will be torn down soon? This Poop is a hieratic. He is much like a member of the U.S. Supreme Court, a senile old fool who belongs in a retirement home with someone feeding him a jar of baby food and catching it with a little baby spoon as it dribbles down his chin.

Can this POS be impeached? Tried as an enemy combatant?

Catholic’s.

Martin Luther responded when faced with the same situation.

Your ball, your game.

The Pope should be in France declaring the murdered French priest a martyr for the faith.
