Who sold all those aircraft, missiles and bombs to the Saudis? Pope Francis does not mince words.
"We all want peace, but looking at the tragedy of war, looking at the wounded, seeing so many people who left their homeland who were forced to go away, I ask, 'Who sells weapons to these people to make war?'" he asked. "This is the root of evil, the hatred, the love of money."

It's a shame that Pope Francis. coming from the Western Hemisphere wouldn't concentrate on what is going on in this part of the world today where so many have been and are still being killed in Mexico and Central America, all Catholic countries.Then he could switch his attention to Africa where Catholics are being killed right and left. It doesn't take an AK47 to slit someone's throat. All it takes is a machete which seems to be the weapon of choice. As for what is going on in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, Haniya can tell her new friends to have some tolerance for the religion of others instead of killing the others. Does it take a sophisticated weapon for a Sunni to blow himself up among the Shiites doing their marketing in Pakistan?
Well, a F-16s and AGM-65 Mavericks do a bit more damage and kill an order of magnitude more people than AK47s.
Gee, when millions of Hindus were killed by your friends years and years ago, I guess they speeded up the killings by practicing swishing their swords each night after they ate. And car bombs can do a lot of destruction. I guess you overlooked the news a while back when dozens of Amadiyya Muslims were killed and dozens wounded in Pakistan while praying in their mosques by Sunni car bombers.
Which friends of mine are those? I have no Muslim or Hindu friends. With respect to the Middle East I tend to support Christians more than others, but they aren't friends.
But if you are talking about the partition of India, more Muslims died than Hindus as more Muslims had to be transferred than Hindus. As far as total deaths, there is a site that includes estimates from various sources.

- Chanduli Trivedi, governor of Punjab: 225,000
- P. Johnson puts the death toll at 200-600,000. In addition to some of the Collins and Lapierre sources, he cites these authorities:
- Stephens, Pakistan (1963): 500,000
- Edwardes, Last Years of British India (1963): 600,000
- The median of these 14 estimates is 500,000.
I am talking about the Muslims when they invaded the Indian Subcontinent years and years ago and murdered countless millions. Regardless, as a "good Catholic" which the Pope surely must admire, why don't you write him and ask him to also condemn the Sunnis for constantly killing the Shiites and Ahmadiyya? My goodness, even in England the Ahmadiyya are not safe, and I can understand why they say that the only place they feel safe is here in America.
