“Francis thanked Meriam, who was accompanied by her husband and two small children, for her ‘testimony of faith’ and ‘perseverance.’” A Vatican spokesman said that Francis wanted the meeting to be a “sign of closeness to all those who suffer due to their faith and practice of their faith.” One may hope that his encounter […]
For the first time in history, Islamic prayers and readings from the Qur’an will be heard at the Vatican
When will there be Christian prayers and readings from the New Testament at the Grand Mosque in Mecca? Will the Qur’an readings at the Vatican feature these verses? Christians have forgotten part of the divine revelations they received: “From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good […]
Pope to Muslims: People should have “the freedom to choose the religion which one judges to be true”
Since the Pope knows that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence,” he may also think that all Muslim countries need to do in order to safeguard religious freedom is start applying the true teachings of authentic Islam, instead of the twisted and hijacked version that […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: Pope Francis: Mahmoud Abbas is a “Man of Peace”
At FrontPage today I discuss the Pope’s statement that Mahmoud Abbas is a “man of peace,” which he is just as much as the Qur’an is “opposed to every form of violence.” AP reported Sunday that “Pope Francis delivered a powerful boost of support to the Palestinians during a Holy Land pilgrimage Sunday, repeatedly backing […]
Pope Francis refers to “State of Palestine” on Holy Land trip, calls Mahmoud Abbas a “man of peace”

Pope chooses to pray in front of large graffiti comparing Bethlehem to the Warsaw Ghetto
This is tantamount to granting the moral authority of the Pope to “Palestinian” jihad propaganda. You can see in the photo below that the Pope was praying right in front a graffiti also saying that the security barrier was an “apartheid wall.” To compare Israel to apartheid South Africa is a monstrous piece of disinformation, […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: Pope Francis: ‘The Che Guevara of the Palestinians’?
In FrontPage today I discuss the ill winds blowing as Pope Francis prepares to visit “the state of Palestine”: “The Che Guevara of the Palestinians” is set to visit Palestinian Authority-controlled Judea and Samaria next week, beginning in Bethlehem, and the city of Jesus’s birth is already in high excitement. The bearer of that illustrious […]
Pope to visit PA Mufti who called Jews enemies of Allah destined to be exterminated by Muslims
Maybe Pope Francis will have an opportunity to explain to Muhammad Hussein how he is misunderstanding Islam, and how “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” “Pope to visit PA Mufti who preached Jews are enemies of Allah destined to be exterminated by Muslims,” by Itamar […]
The Vatican Against Israel
The Vatican Against Israel by William Kilpatrick Christians in many parts of the Middle East and Africa face extermination at the hands of Muslims, yet many Christian leaders seem far more concerned over the transgressions, real and imagined, of Israel—the only safe place for Christians in the Middle East and the only Middle Eastern country […]
Pope Francis releases doves of peace; doves immediately attacked by predatory birds
Think of it as a parable. The Pope recently wrote that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” I discussed that statement at some length here. It was on Francis’ part a kind of dove of peace, an invitation to Muslims of good will to see […]
