Not to pick on you ... as most who offer a denominational preference wind up having to apologize for some nut who purports to represent them but, come on now, is this not just a little beyond the pale?


Pope Francis: Today, I don’t think that there is a fear of Islam as such but of ISIS and its war of conquest, which is partly drawn from Islam. It is true that the idea of conquest is inherent in the soul of Islam. However, it is also possible to interpret the objective in Matthew’s Gospel, where Jesus sends his disciples to all nations, in terms of the same idea of conquest.

Please read the whole interview. This person is a wholly political creature with what might best be called some questionable beliefs.

He seems to be saying that it's easy for bloodthirsty marauders to purposely misinterpret religious texts to support of their own views.

He also states that this is inherent in Islam.


Do you disagree?
