ROME – On his flight back to Rome after visiting Turkey, the Roman Catholic Pontiff known as Pope Francis told reporters that Islam should not be equated with terrorism and violence–a statement that some may disagree with considering the teachings of the religion.
“On Islamophobia, it is true that when one sees these terrorist acts, not only in this region, but also in Africa, there is this reaction [of], ‘If this is Islam, I am going to get angry,'” he said. “And so many Islamic people are offended.” “Many, many [Muslims] say, ‘No, we are not this. The Koran is a book of peace. It is a prophetic book of peace. That (terrorism) is not Islam,” Francis continued...

Pope Francis has become an Apologist for Islam...like so many of our so-called leaders today...

The Koran is a book of peace. It is a prophetic book of peace. That (terrorism) is not Islam,” Francis continued

You are correct sir. My question is, why are they Muzzie apologists? If they are blind, then they are willfully blind, because Muzzies stick out like a soar thumb.

Next he will declare that Islam’s message is just as valid as Christ’s.

But so far all violence can be attributed to Islam. And also he hasn’t read the Koran.

So far, his salient points and his trial balloons make me wonder if he isn't a blithering idiot at heart and soul.

If there is more substance to the guy, I hope to see it before he chases the Catholic Church down Obama's Avenue for America.

The pope is smoking holy incense.

What, oh what, has happened to the Catholic Church?

“Many, many [Muslims] say, ‘No, we are not this. The Koran is a book of peace."

They are lying to you, Frank. This is called taqiyya.

From the Haddith:

Bukhari (84:64-65) - Speaking from a position of power at the time, Ali confirms that lying is permissible in order to deceive an "enemy."

Don't be an idiot, Frank. Muslims worship a demon called Allah.

Moslems should be outraged but, not in the synthetic manner they constantly push at the rest of.

The Islamist’s who murder, as commanded by the Holy Koran, are the ones committing atrocities in Allah’s name.

Why don’t you blame them?

They kill more Moslems than all others combined.

They stone just about anyone to death.

Their beheading of people has become epic and apocryphal.

Is Islam about peace and one’s free will? Nope.

Blow it your keester and start making stuff for your family, instead of grief for everyone else.

You are sick, sick people.

Look at those who elected him Pope & you’ll have your answer.

BTW, I’m Catholic & this is making me sick. It’s not about attempting to minimize persecution of Christians in muzzie countries anymore. Something has gone seriously haywire.

Maybe the Pope and Hillary can go on a “sympathize with our enemies” tour together.

Very funny! I wonder if their ailment is “Stockholm Syndrome”? It seems Europe and the West has a really bad case of it lately...

Any follower of the Word of God and Jesus Christ is a true Catholic (Universal Christian body or church). Rome lost me when I found out that they jettisoned the Word of God in favor of the traditions of men. Pedophilia is only the tip of the iceberg of what is wrong with Rome...
