President of the Italian
bishops' conference Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco on Thursday urged
moderate Islam to distance itself from Wednesday's terror attack
on the Paris offices of the weekly satirical magazine Charlie
Hebdo, in which 12 people were killed.
"The moderate Islamic community, the real one, must
distance itself clearly from this act," Bagnasco told a local
news bulletin broadcast by state broadcaster RAI.
It is also necessary to "overcome the risk of reacting
violently," the cardinal added.
