In a statement, the Pope said Ihab al-Sharif's killing was "barbaric" and "contrary to every human and religious sentiment."
Egypt's Sunni Muslim spiritual leader Sheikh Ali Gomaa today warned that the killers face "the wrath of God."
Iran, Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and Saudi Arabia have also condemned the killing.
