Pope in Albania urges Muslims to condemn extremism
TIRANA, Albania — Pope Francis has called on moderate Muslims and all religious leaders to condemn Islamic extremists who “pervert” religion to justify violence, as he visited Albania and held it up as a model for interfaith harmony.

One of the highlights of Francis’ visit was a meeting Sunday with representatives of Albania’s Muslim, Orthodox and Catholic communities, which all suffered persecution under communism but now live and work together peacefully.

Francis said religious intolerance was an “insidious enemy” particularly alive in parts of the world today. He urged all believers to “firmly refute as false” any perversion of religion for the sake of violence.

He said: “To kill in the name of God is a grave sacrilege. To discriminate in the name of God is inhuman.”

Good for the Pope.  It is important that all religious leaders speak out against killing and discrimination, don't you think?  In this time where some want to hate and kill all Muslims - isn't it great that a leader says otherwise?

In this time when all muslims overtly or covertly discriminates and bitches at others, the words of the pope is directed against muslims specifically.

Funny no muslim says such things truthfully, much less puts it into practice in a real manner. You get what you paid for.

As african christians who struck back after suffering muslim genocidal tactics said: "muslims will be allowed to live once they learned some respect."

Go fuck yourself, because burden of responsibility is on them.

He's right, the Muslims need to to clearly repudiate all forms of extremism just like most Christians repudiate the so-called protestant neo-nazis and white supremacists amongst them.
