The interfaith outreach racket continues: Jews and Muslims in the U.K. have just signed an agreement plighting their troth, or pledging their truth, or something, one to the other. It is called the Drumlanrig Accord. It should be understood as an example of wishful thinking and political fantasy, just like Edward Hicks’ Peaceable Kingdom, where […]
Iranian ayatollah: Mary is a ‘bridge for bringing Islam and Christianity closer together’
This kind of appeal fools many Christians, who think that Islam is tolerant and generous and ecumenical, and that they should respond in kind by acknowledging Muhammad as a prophet. These gullible Christians do not realize that when Ayatollah Moballeghi and others like him speak of Mary, they don’t have the Mary of Christianity in […]
Indonesia: Seven Muslims arrested over plot to attack Pope Francis
This is odd. All his “dialogue” with Muslims should have led them to regard him as a beloved brother, no? What went wrong? It’s a mystery! “Indonesia arrests seven over failed plot to attack Pope Francis,” Indian Express, September 6, 2024: Indonesian police detained seven persons in connection with a failed plot to attack Pope […]
Germany: Imam recites Qur’an’s opening prayer, often understood as condemning Jews and Christians, at primary school
This sounds like a neutral prayer to which anyone can ascribe, but it isn’t. The final two verses of the Fatiha, the first sura of the Qur’an, ask Allah: “Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom you have favored, not of those who have earned your anger, or of those who […]
Italy: Locals Resist Papabile Cardinal’s Attempt to Create Multifaith House
Leading scholar of Islam blasts prelate’s vision as ‘house of cards based on fantasy’ An Italian cardinal who has launched an ambitious multifaith house project for Islam, Judaism and Christianity in Italy’s communist-dominated province of Bologna is facing stiff opposition from locals. Cardinal Matteo Maria Zuppi, who is president of the Italian Bishops’ Conference and is […]
Pope to preside over interfaith meeting at Indonesian mosque
Will this meeting prevent jihadis from murdering even one Christian, or burning down even one church? No. In fact, it will inhibit discussion of Muslim persecution of Christians. Few Christians in the West say anything about that persecution, and those who do generally ignore the root causes of that persecution. They don’t want to harm […]
Pope Francis: ‘Mary Unites Muslims and Christians’
Pope Francis is highlighting the Blessed Virgin Mary as a unifying figure between Muslims and Christians, despite the significant departures between Islamic trashing of the Mother of God and dogmatic Catholic teaching. During his visit to Verona prison — a detention facility with a significantly high number of Muslim prisoners — the pontiff insisted that […]
Nigeria: Islamic group says local emir sent them to disband center where Christians and Muslims worship together
This was likely an attempt at the interfaith “dialogue” that Christian leaders everywhere believe, without a shred of evidence, will end the jihad and bring peace and harmony everywhere. This is the end point of that dialogue: an assertion of Islamic supremacism. “Islamic Group Says Emir Of Ilorin Sent Them To Disband Kwara Religious Centre […]
All Shipshape and Bristol Fashion? Grand Iftar Dinner Held at Bristol Cathedral
In Bristol, some gaga Anglicans of the Outreach School of Christianity offered local Muslims their cathedral as just the place to hold their Grand Iftar Dinner. It was, you see, supposed to show “unity and peace.” Robert Spencer wrote about this here, and more on this move, seen as a kindly gesture by the Christians […]
