In a speech to the king and Moroccan authorities at the Hassan Tower complex, Francis said it was "essential'' for all believers to counter religious fanaticism and extremism with solidarity. Gregorio Borgia/AP Moroccan King Mohammed VI waves as Pope Francis wipes his forehead, in Rabat, Morocco, on March 30. He called religious extremism "an offence against religion and against God himself". Francis aimed to highlight the North African nation's tradition of Christian-Muslim ties, while also letting the king show solidarity with migrants at Europe's door and tend to a tiny Catholic flock.
