The leader of the genocidal terrorist gang Hamas is condemning the Pope.

Islam is a Religion of Peace™, according to this mass murderer.

“In the name of the Palestinian people, we condemn the pope’s remarks on Islam. These remarks go against the truth and touch the heart of our faith,” Haniya told reporters Friday after the main weekly Muslim prayers in a Gaza mosque.

“The pope should revise his comments and stop attacking Islam, which is the religion of more than 1.5 billion people in the world,” he added.

Palestinians had been due to demonstrate Friday in Gaza against the pope’s remarks in which he implicitly criticised connections between Islam and violence, particularly with regard to jihad, or “holy war”.

And the violence against Christians has begun, in Gaza City.

A hand-made grenade exploded near the oldest church in Gaza City, causing no casualties but minor damage to a Christian youth association office in the same compound, police said.
