Paris attacks in God's name 'blasphemy'

(ANSA) - Padua, November 19 - The militants behind the Paris attacks that killed at least 129 people are "violating the image of God" by claiming to carry out such acts of violence in his name, the secretary-general of the Italian Bishops Conference (CEI) said on Thursday.
    "According to these people, God would impose himself even against man, against those who don't accept his will and won't submit to him," said Monsignor Nunzio Galantino. "This is a violated God. When you betray man, and you do it while praising God's name, the image of God is also violated," he said.
    He said that committing violent crime in God's name was "unbearable blasphemy".
