iStock Editorial/Thinkstock(STRASBOURG, France) — Pope Francis on Tuesday said he wouldn’t say no to the possibility of talks with the militant Islamist group ISIS.
The pope made the comment after a speech to European leaders in Strasbourg, France on how to fight religious fundamentalism.
Francis called persecution against religious minorities around the world deplorable. But he said the only way to counteract the rise of fundamentalism in Europe is to encourage openness and inclusivity.
The pope added that Europe’s roots in different faiths are an antidote to extremism and that the thousands of migrants arriving in Europe each month must receive better treatment.
