Pope Francis met with the president of Turkey in a rare visit to the Muslim country. The Pope condemned religious extremism and ISIS’ persecution of Christians in Syria and Iraq. Pope Francis, during his three-day visit to Turkey, has prayed at Istanbul's Blue Mosque. Bowing his head and clasping his hands, Pope Francis prayed inside the Blue Mosque in Istanbul on Saturday as he sought to reach out to moderate Muslims - a day after condemning the fanaticism of Isil and other terrorist groups.
