ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE — Pope Francis said he doesn't like singling
out violence carried out by Muslims because people of all religions are
guilty of deadly crimes.
He told reporters the situation was like "a mixed fruit salad" and that there were "violent people in all religions."
"I do not like to talk about Islamic violence
because every day when I skim the papers ... I read about violence in
Italy: this one who killed the girlfriend, another killed the
mother-in-law ... and they are all baptized Catholics," he said aboard a
Rome-bound flight from Poland on Sunday.
"If I talk about Islamic violence, then I also have to talk of Catholic
violence. Not all Muslims are violent, just like not all Catholics are
violent," the pontiff added. "It's like a mixed fruit salad. There is a
bit of everything. There are violent people in all religions."
