Pope Francis said that “there is no reason to fear Islam as a religion, but to fear ISIS invasive war waged for the distortion of Islam. In an interview with
La Croix French Catholic magazine he said: “It is true that the concept of conquest is inherent in the essence of Islam, but this interpretation also applies to what came in the Gospel of Matthew about Jesus who sends his disciples to spread the Christian religion around the globe.”
The Pope said: “It is our duty, as regards Islamic terrorism at this stage to ask ourselves many questions about the ways in which we turned to for exporting the Western democracy to countries that were ruled by a strong power like Iraq, or a country built on well-established tribal structure, such as Libya .We can no longer continue to focus on the issues of the Islamic world and our relationship with it without taking into account this reality.”
He added that “coexistence between Muslims and Christian is possible, I’m from a country where Christians and Muslims coexist in familiarity and respect, and Lebanon is a good example that this coexistence is possible today in the Arab world.”
