Pope Francis, during a visit to Albania, condemned extremists across the world for 'perverting' religion to validate their violent actions.
According to the BBC, his remarks apparently point towards the Islamic State militants in the Middle East who have capture large swathes of Iraq and Syria.
Thousands of people were present at the open air Mass in Albanian capital, Tirana.
He commended the peaceful coexistence of different religions in Albania where Catholics and orthodox Christians live alongside a Muslim majority.
He said that no one should commit violence in the name of God and that doing so was inhuman.
