Many flocked to Pope Francis'
rallying cry that the war of the world is not religious, but evangelist Franklin
Graham staunchly disagrees.
"The word that is being
repeated often is insecurity, but the real word is war," Francis told reporters.
"Not a war of religion. There is a war of interests. There is a war for
money. There is a war for natural resources. There is a war for domination of
peoples. This is the war. All religions want peace. Others want war. Do you
understand?"
Graham, though, recognizes the
spiritual battle at play.
"It is most certainly a war of
religion. Religion is behind the violence and jihad we're seeing in Europe, the
Middle East, Asia and here in this country," Graham posted to Facebook.
"It's a religion that calls for the extermination of 'infidels' outside
their faith, specifically Jews and Christians. It's a religion that calls on
its soldiers to shout 'Allahu Akbar' ('God is Great' in Arabic) as they behead,
rape and murder in the name of Islam. Radical Islamists are following the
teachings of the Quran. We should call it what it is."
But Francis fiercely maintains Islam
is a religion of peace.
"I think it is not right to
identity Islam with violence," the Pope said.
"This is not right and this is not true."
