Pope Francis has declared that "authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence,"

Good for Pope Francis. Someone let me know when the muzzies accept this interpretation of authentic islam.

Does anyone have a cite a reference for this alleged quote? hard for me to believe that even Francis is this wide of the mark.
