Premier Mario Draghi told the G20
Interfaith Forum in Bologna on Tuesday that it is necessary to
stand up to those who seek to exploit religion.
"Religion must never be exploited," Draghi said.
"In the worst cases, it has been used to justify violence, the
deprivation of basic rights or to direct people's support
towards highly earthly political ends.
"We must oppose the terror and the sometimes subtle abuse of
those who want to deprive us of our values in the name of
religion".
