The Pope Has A Message For Christian Fundamentalists: You’re No Better Than ISIS
AUTHOR: KERRY-ANNE DECEMBER 3, 2014 10:20 AM

The Pope gave liberals an early Christmas Present this week, on a flight back from Turkey…by drawing a parallel between Christian Fundamentalists and Islamic terror groups such as ISIS.

When a journalist attempted to draw the Pope into yet another condemnation of the world’s 2 billion Muslims on the basis of the actions of a few thousand – the pontiff dropped a logic bomb.

“You just can’t say that, just as you can’t say that all Christians are fundamentalists. We have our share of them (fundamentalists). All religions have these little groups,” Pope Francis said.

With this succinct, unapologetic statement – Pope Francis has said what many of us, religious and not, have been quietly thinking for some time: Christian and Muslim fundamentalists have far more in common with each other than the rest of us....

... There is no ‘worst’ form of religious extremism. To be frank, the assumption there is often finds its roots in racism. So maybe the next time Bill Maher wants to call comparisons of Christian and Muslim fundamentalists ‘liberal bullshit’, he should have a little chat with the Pope…or, you know, open a history book.
