She told all this to Pope Francis, who called her a “martyr,” but of course said nothing about the belief system that led these men to torture her and murder her baby. That was no surprise. Last September, the Pope met in the Vatican with Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, the secretary general of […]
Italian leader slams pro-migrant bishop: “The Gospel doesn’t say to welcome everyone”
The leader of Italy’s Lega party, Matteo Salvini, was “criticized for swearing an oath of loyalty to the Italian people on a bible, saying ‘in my Italy, immigration has rules.’” Salvini sai: “In my Italy, immigration has rules, numbers and limits, as in America and Canada. According to you, the Gospel says welcome anyone? With […]
Iraqi archbishop: “Crisis of violence in Islam must be addressed openly and honestly”
It is good that the Archbishop of Erbil was able to say this at Franciscan University, but it is unlikely he will get much of a hearing in other Catholic circles. Pope Francis has essentially dogmatized the falsehood that Islam is a Religion of Peace. This false claim has become a superdogma in the Catholic […]
The problem is not “Islamophobia” but ignorance of Islam
An Open Letter to Bishop Joseph Bambera, Chairman of the USCCB’s Committee for Interreligious Affairs Your Excellency, You are to be commended for your December 29th statement asking Catholics to pray for “our Coptic brethren who are enduring martyrdom for the sake of Christ.” Catholics need to know the extent of the attacks on Christians […]
At Vatican, Erdogan asks Pope to help lead “concerted and continuous international effort to fight Islamophobia”
Pope Francis loves Erdogan: he gave him 50 minutes, not the usual 30 he accords to world leaders. “Erdoğan discussed the plight of the Christians [sic] minorities in the Middle East and promised to mobilize Turkish support to help them in every possible way, just as the Ottomans did in their 600-year history.” In reality, […]
Turkey’s Erdogan to meet with Pope, thank him for opposing Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital
This is not the first time a Muslim leader has thanked Pope Francis for being so very useful to the global jihad. Last September, the Pope met in the Vatican with Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, the secretary general of the Muslim World League (MWL), a group that has been linked to the financing […]
Pope denounces “terrible terrorist massacre” in Kabul: “How long must the Afghan people bear this inhuman violence?”
How long? Well, sir, considering that you deny the existence of the motivating ideology behind such attacks and oversee the shunning in Catholic circles of those who identify it, I’d say indefinitely, insofar as you’re actively hindering proper analysis of this threat. Besides all that is below, Pope Francis has claimed fancifully that “authentic Islam […]
Jordan Denari Duffner in Islamic Wonderland
“Despite the fact that they lived among Muslims — who are the vast majority of the population in Jordan — my Christian host family bought into these Christian TV channels’ negative portrayals of Islam,” notes Jordan Denari Duffner’s new book. Such passages unintentionally reveal in Finding Jesus among Muslims: How Loving Islam Makes Me a […]
Catholic ex-Muslims to Pope Francis: “Naiveté in the face of Islam is suicidal and very dangerous”
“Many ex-Muslims, such as Magdi Allam, are even leaving the Church, disgusted by her cowardice, wounded by equivocal gestures, confused by the lack of evangelization, scandalized by the praise given to Islam.” Yes, and not just ex-Muslims. It has become a superdogma in the Catholic Church: if you don’t believe that Islam is a Religion of […]
Vatican official decries “obsession with borders and national security to detriment of rights and dignity of refugees”
The Catholic Church, which makes millions of dollars annually on refugee resettlement, is now saying that those who oppose the Muslim migrant influx are morally deficient. If you don’t want your land invaded by tens or hundreds of thousands of people with vastly different values, which they consider superior to yours, you are simply not […]
