Violence is like a fruit salad of Catholics, Muslims, etc.

Pope Francis has explained the reason he does not like to refer to Islamic violence is because if he speaks of people of Islam he must also speak of Catholics.

"I don’t like to speak of Islamic violence, because every day, when I browse the newspapers, I see violence, here in Italy… this one who has murdered his girlfriend, another who has murdered the mother-in-law… and these are baptized Catholics! There are violent Catholics!

If I speak of Islamic violence, I must speak of Catholic violence . . . and no, not all Muslims are violent, not all Catholics are violent. It is like a fruit salad; there’s everything. "
