Ramadan starts tomorrow! Ramadan is the season of penance for our Islamic brothers and sisters. Do they ever take it seriously! I tell you that because Ash Wednesday is coming up – that’s kind of like our Ramadan. @thegnewsroom pic.twitter.com/qBiFTGhpoN
— Cardinal Dolan (@CardinalDolan) February 28, 2025
Cardinal Timothy Dolan is the Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York. He is all wrong about Ramadan, and foolishly so. It is not a season of penance. It is a season for Muslims to redouble their efforts to please Allah. The highest form of service to Allah, according to Muhammad, is jihad, which principally involves warfare against unbelievers. A hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” Muhammad replied, “I do not find such a deed.” (Bukhari 4.52.44) So what better way to increase one’s devotion to Allah than by waging jihad? Every Ramadan, therefore, we see an increase in jihad attacks.
Dolan also calls Muslims the “brothers and sisters” of Roman Catholics. In fact, that is not how Muslims regard Christians. Is Dolan aware of these Qur’an passages? (Spoiler: no, he isn’t.)
Qur’an 98:4-6: “Nor were the people of the book divided until after the clear proof came to them. And they are not ordered to do anything else but serve Allah, keeping religion pure for him, as hanifs, and to establish prayer and to give alms. That is true religion. Indeed, the unbelievers among the people of the book and the idolaters will remain in the fire of Gehenna. They are the most vile of created beings.”
Qur’an 5:14: “And with those who say: Indeed, we are Christians, we made a covenant, but they forgot a part of what they were reminded about. Therefore we have stirred up enmity and hatred among them until the day of resurrection, when Allah will inform them of their handiwork.”
Qur’an 5:17: “They indeed have disbelieved who say, Indeed, Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. Say, Who then can do anything against Allah, if he had willed to destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He creates what he wills. And Allah is able to do all things.”
Qur’an 4:157: “And because of their saying, We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the messenger of Allah, they did not kill him nor crucify him, but it seemed so to them, and indeed, those who disagree about this are in doubt about it, they have no knowledge of it except pursuit of a supposition, they did not kill him for certain.
Qur’an 4:171: “O people of the book, do not exaggerate in your religion or say anything about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and his word that he conveyed to Mary, and a spirit from him. So believe in Allah and his messengers, and do not say Three, Stop, it is better for you. Allah is only one God. It is far removed from his transcendent majesty that he should have a son. Everything that is in the heavens and everything that is on the earth is his. And Allah is sufficient as defender.”
Qur’an 5:116: “And when Allah said, O Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to mankind, Take me and my mother as two gods besides Allah? He said, Be glorified. It was not for me to say what I had no right to say. If I said it, then you know it. You know what is in my mind, and I do not know what is in your mind. Indeed, you, only you, are the knower of hidden things.”
Qur’an 19:35: “It is not fitting for Allah that he should take to himself a son. Glory be to him, when he decrees a thing, he says to it only, Be, and it is.”
Qur’an 9:30-31: “And the Jews say, Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say, The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the statements of those who disbelieved before. May Allah curse them. How perverse they are. They have taken as lords besides Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah, the son of Mary, when they were called to worship only one God. There is no God except him. May he be glorified from all that they ascribe as partners.”
Qur’an 9:29: “Fight against those do not believe in Allah or the last day, and do not forbid what Allah and his messenger have forbidden, and do not follow the religion of truth, even if they are among the people of the book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.”
He also praises Muslims for taking Ramadan so seriously. Is he aware (spoiler: no) of how often Muslims (and non-Muslims) are punished for not observing Ramadan? Observance of Ramadan is all too often a matter of fear, not devotion.
Gary says
Ramadan, is typically the killing season for followers of MO. So much for peace, love, and tolerance.
OLD GUY says
I think its RAMADAM and open season on those non-muslims around the world. So if you don’t follow the slug Moe you need to be prepared to defend yourself. Keep your powder dry and your guns close at hand. Or if you can’t have a gun a baseball bat will help.

So true, Gary and OLD GUY.

What an Idiot! Penance!! It is about 29 days of stuffing your face outwith daylight hours. Then after Ramadan, another Feast. Is it this year, or next, there are 2 Ramadans in the year.
Rob Porter says
You are right, he is an idiot, but there are too many R.C. priests who talk a load of unadulterated nonsense about Islam, make ridiculous excuses for Islam and Muslims and never condemn Muslims for their barbarism against Christians.

Alex, I wish Ramadan were *just* about overeating–and not about brutalizing Infidels.

This poor man is completely delusional!
Emilie Green says
Not just Dolan. Delusions dance in the heads of most Western RCC bishops, including the Bishop of Rome.
SLA says
The good Cardinal speaks of “our Islamic brothers and sisters!” Good Heavens! What alternative universe does this man inhabit?
Jon Sobieski says
The Catholic Church is full of evil men who hate Christians. Refugee racket importing millions of Muslims into kuffar land, shielding Islam from criticism, the list is endless, It is not hard to find the truth about Islam, but to reject the truth about Islam and send your church to be Islam’s ally is evil.
somehistory says
Being in his position….that bird thing….is he qualified (in the eyes of the others) to be the next pope? He is of the same ‘cloth.’
And evil, evil, evil. All of what they do to help spread the filth of islime.
gravenimage says
It is not just Catholics–sadly many Christians are pretty clueless.
somehistory says
There is a pit in the path this fool is treading. Any who listen to him and follow his lead, will fall into that same pit.
firstly, he’s speaking about things which, evidently, he has not looked into via someone (non-mozlum) who knows what islime is all about. Nor even the pretend fast when mozlum gorge themselves all night, and complain the day following if they see some infidel eating, drinking or even speaking about such things.
The little girls…nine years old….being required to go all day without food, even a cup of water…and the thoughts mozlums have toward those who don’t go along with this child abuse.
How any person who claims to follow Christ can look upon this worship of satan as a ‘good thing,’ and to call the sons of demons ‘brothers and sisters’….is beyond understanding.
He should know better, but he follows the blindness of the pope, leading others to that deep pit about which Jesus Christ warned.
He should offer a mozlum kid a glass of water during this month of unholy, evil, demonic worship, and see what the kid’s father does.
40 rounds says
In the least, he shouldn’t have even commented on the subject let alone justifying the farce
somehistory says
True
Tony says
Another ignorant Christian! Islam is pagan and terroristic against all Non-Muslims as taught in islam’s Quran. Non-Muslims CANNOT have peace with Islam and its Muslims because Islam and its murderous god, Allah, demand a continuous Muslim war, a religious duty, against unbelievers where Non-Muslims are CRIMINALS under Islam due to UNBELIEF and BLASPHEMY against Allah when Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” HENCE, NON-MUSLIMS MUST MAKE ISLAM, ITS MOSQUES, ITS SCHOOLS, ITS ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. ILLEGAL UNDER THE LAW. Similarly, Islam and its many Organizations must be identified and publicly declared to be MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS(MTO) for their funding, teaching, and support of terrorism, violence, and discrimination against Non-Muslims(eg. Quran 3:151; 9:5,29,111 and more).
somehistory says
Justifying evil is un-Christian.
Richard says
He denies many Biblical Truths; therefore, Dolan is not a Christian, like his mentor, Francis in Rome.
Leonidas says
Evil Islam ( submission)will collapse ,like USSR in 1989,if we DENOUNCE pseudo prophet criminal MUHAMMAD,who according to his biography( Sira) and traditions( Hadith) was a pedophile( wife Aisha was 9 yo), rapist, murderer, torturer , bandit (keeping20% of the booty for himself),liar and sex-slave trader, deserving no reverence but our contempt and also LIBERATE THE MUSLIM WOMEN from barbaric misogynistic Sharia Law.The Koran ( recitation)states women are dumb, less intelligent than men,wives must be beaten for disobedience by their hudbands ,all women will go to hell, unless in the last day their husband says he was pleased with her and all women must hide their curves and wear burkas ,so that men will not be aroused to rape them.Islam is a misogynistic ,violent , imperialist political ideology of Muslim supremacy ISLAMOFASCISM(>70%), DISGUISED AS A RELIGION(< 30%) that strives through violent Jihad and soft cultural Jihad of immigration ( dawa, Hijra)to subjugate the World.Jihadists are promised, if killed battling infidels-kafirs,) they will go to Paradise to enjoy 72 virgins ,taking along 70 of their relatives regardless of their sins!Muslim Immigration is Hijra( flight)to take over the country they settle in ,like Muhammad did to Yatrib-Medina.This, along with forced child marriages and four wives per man ( Bin Laden had 52 siblings and 16 children),the muslims will soon outnumber the local populations and will impose Sharia law .Withdraw from UN MIGRANT COMPACT ,that falsely claims immigration is a Human Right expecting Western countries to accept and provide for an endless number of muslim illegal immigrants ,thus islamizing them. Muslim “refugees “should stay in Turkey or vast rich Saudi Arabia ,until they can return to their countries.We must denounce islamic Sharia (=way)law of blasphemer,apostate ,homosexual , adulterer and hypocrite executions,misogyny,honor killings by stoning,hand amputations for theft,child brides,girls exclusion from schools,halal meat from tortured animals,clitorectomies,subjugation and segregation of women,burkas and Sharia banning of short skirts,bikinis,dancing,singing,painting ,sculptures of people,dogs,pork,alcohol and beauty contests .Demand gender equality for ALL muslim women.Punish severely those that kill apostates from Islam,blasphemers,adulterers or muslim hypocrites.Islam is incompatible with our freedom of speech, gender equality, values,way of life, Human Rights, Constitution, Republic and population stability needed to sustain Life on Earth.Tolerating intolerant Islam is cultural suicide!For more info on Islam go to YOU TUBE for: ApostateProphet,Exmuslims,David Wood,Ayan Hirsi Ali,BrigitteGabriel,BillWarner,Politicalislam.org,PamelaGeller,Jihadwatch,Nonie Darwish , Wafa Sultan,Richard Dawkins on Islam,Ani Cyrus , Geert Wilder,obsession – what the West needs to know.Also Google: Wikiislam, The religion of peace,barenakedislam, MEMRI etc.Watch the deposition of Ayan Hirsi Ali in Congress on"how to defeatIslam":https://www.hoover.org/research/challenge-dawa-political-islam-ideology-and-movement-and-how-counter-it
tgusa says
Almost every day there are articles here about Christians in Africa being slaughtered by his islamic brothers and sisters. I hope he continues to eat during ramadan because I’m hoping he chokes on whatever it is. The catholic clergy sure has gone off the rails.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Apparently, the problems w/ the Catholic Church don’t start & end w/ the pope
tgusa says
The mission of the Roman Catholic Church is to:
1. Proclaim the presence of Christ and serve Him where He is to be found.
2. Evangelize the world and claim it for Christ.
3. Communicate the divine life to mankind.
4. Serve as an agent and forerunner of God’s Kingdom of justice and peace
Right now, I give them an F grading on all four.
PRCS USN (ret) says
Recalling this 2016 JW post:
“Is there room in the Catholic Church for those who don’t believe Islam is a religion of peace?”
https://jihadwatch.org/?s=is+there+room+in+the+catholic+church+for
“Msgr. Swetland argued not only that Islam was a religion of peace, but that to believe otherwise was to place oneself in opposition to the teaching of the Catholic Church.”
Yes, a failing grade!

As they started cutting his neck, the Cardinal said to the terrorists: Brother! you’re hurting me

Things that Cardinal Dolan and his ilk does not understand….
The allah of islam is NOT the Biblical God
allah is most likely “the evil god of this world”{2 Corinthisans 4:4}
Fasting for allah has no merit because allah is the god of the kaaba cult
BTW Pope Francis is obliged to stick to the magisterium
Noah Andeark says
I’ve been a big fan of Ramadamadingdong for years now, ever since I became an investor into an “Allahu’s Snackbar” franchise. During the holy month of Ramadamadingdong we offer a special fast breaking meal of buy one-get one free on all of our pulled pork products. We’ve been told that the sammies are mohammedelicious, fit for a prophet, and to die for!!
So come on in! Bring a muslim with you, and save save save!!
Allahu’s Snackbar!!! Your place for pork.

Come on people, what do you expect with the Pope bringing Islam into the Vatican City as guests, Islam tells lies and the church believes it….what a shame.
The current Pope my be going out the door but read that they want an even more liberal Pope, why not turn Vatican City over to Islam and get it over with?
The Church has gone from faith in God to the extreme of forgetting God and his word. Many Catholics are not happy with the road the church has taken, so sad but as always God has a plan & he’ll show us when he is ready.
Kevin Kraemer says
Catholics, embrace islam, muhamadists, embrace Catholicism. Well now we have Chrislam. So the apostates and the murderers can become one union. Get oit the popcorn, let’s see how fast they kill each other.

No Muslims embrace Catholicism. This lov affair is all one way.
James Lincoln says
In the Catholic hierarchy, the Pope is chosen from the current group of Cardinals.
Hopefully, after Pope Francis croaks, the Cardinals will not pick Dolan.
Ralph says
Cardinal Dolan probably will be the first to exclaim that he cannot understand the decline in membership (customers) of the Catholic Corporation.
libertyORdeath says
Never forget – there’s always going to be traitors within the walls just waiting to throw the gates open to the barbarian hordes.
It was a Hungarian named Orban who sold the cannon that destroyed the walls of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks. If not for him, Christendom may have never lost Anatolia (modern Turkey) and many European regions to the Muslim invaders.
Fight while you still can!
