Pope To Muslims- Clearly Condem Attacks In Islam's Name

Pope Francis has advices muslims to “clearly” condemn violent perpetrated in the name of Islam after returning from a historic three-day visit to Turkey, Al-Jazeera reports. The Catholic pope made the remarks on Sunday during a press briefing on board a plane carrying him back to Rome after wrapping up a three-day visit to Turkey. Francis said he had made the suggestion of a global condemnation of terrorism by Muslim leaders in talks on Friday with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. source
Francis several times condemned the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group during his three-day trip. “I told the president that it would be beautiful if all Islamic leaders, whether they are political, religious or academic leaders, would speak out clearly and condemn this because this would help the majority of Muslim people,” he was quoted as saying by Al-Jazeera. Francis also said on Sunday that equating Islam with violence was wrong and that he understood why Muslims were offended by many in the West who automatically equated their religion with terrorism.
