Pope Francis invited the families and close friends of the 84 dead and 100+ injured victims, to visit the Vatican, after a truck mounted the pavement and plowed into spectators on Bastille Day in Nice on July 14, 2016.
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for this massacre !
Pope Francis lead a Rememberance Service for the many Christians, Jews and Muslims who were invited, last Saturday, September 24, 2016. His message was "Do not judge, do not condemn, but forgive" ! They were words of comfort and peace.
Many bereaved instantly expressed their gratitude to the Pope ! He had given them all a memory to help them forget this tragedy.
It should also be noted that 30% of the mourners at the Service given by Pope Francis in the Vatican were Muslims ! This really does underline the fact that the vast majority of Muslims in the West do not accept or advocate the actions of the Extremist I S Terrorists, neither in the Middle East, nor in Europe or elsewhere !
