“The painful experience of these brothers and sisters reminds us of that baby Jesus, who could not find shelter, was born in a stable in Bethlehem and was later brought to Egypt to escape Herod’s threat.” There was heightened security at the Vatican last night for Midnight Mass. Why? Aren’t Muslim migrants just like “baby […]
Heightened security for Midnight Mass at the Vatican due to Islamic State threats
All these heightened security measures should immediately be dismantled. Why? The Pope’s own words. These security measures are hardly welcoming to the stranger. “It is hypocritical to call yourself a Christian and to chase away a refugee, or anyone who needs your help. Jesus taught us what it means to be a good Christian in […]
Italy deports Muslim who was planning jihad bombing in the Vatican
“The jihadist has been described by those who knew him as ‘fanatical‘ and eager to ‘die in God’s name to win Paradise.’” “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah , so they kill and are killed.” — […]
Italy: “Give us back our mosques or we will pray to Allah in the Vatican”
The Pope should welcome them into the Vatican and give them a church to pray in. After all, he just said: “We see, for example, how quickly those among us with the status of a stranger, an immigrant, or a refugee, become a threat, take on the status of an enemy. An enemy because they […]
Pope declares “the world is at war” but denies Islam has any role
Pope Francis declared that “the world is at war” following the slitting of the throat of an 86-year-old priest by two Islamic State-linked jihadists, right in the middle of a mass in France. The jihadists shouted “Allahu akbar” during the barbaric drama, during which they also took two nuns hostage. The Pope went on to […]
Petition for new Brexit vote gets 39,411 signatures from Vatican City – pop. 800
This reminds me of Left-fascist Nick Lowles’ Hope Not Hate petition to ban me from the UK, which gained an extraordinary number of signatures in a very short time, no doubt including many more people than had ever actually heard of my existence — and was never examined by parliamentary authorities. Clearly the European political […]
Pope Francis wants “dialogue” with Muslim leader who broke off ties after Benedict XVI condemned jihad mass murder attack
“el-Tayeb has been imam of the al-Azhar Mosque since his 2010 election. He was elected rector of the university in 2003. He is considered a moderate Sunni who has worked to prevent Islamic radicalization.” This moderate Sunni blames the unrest in the Middle East on “world Zionism” and refuses to denounce the Islamic State as […]
Muslim scholar tells Vatican conference that mercy is “the core of Islam”
For those in the audience who might have thought this claim risible in light of current events — although there may not have been any skeptics at all, since the room was full of Catholic theologians — Khan did say: that although mercy is “the core of Islam,” “Islam as an ideal and Islam as […]
Germany’s ambassador to the Vatican: “Islam…is part of the solution”
Annette Schavan says: “There are warmongers who embrace religion. But that does not mean that religion promotes war. Religion has the great power to bring peace.” It doesn’t seem to occur to her that there is not a single unified entity called “religion,” or that different religions actually teach different values. She assumes that whatever […]
Pope admits danger of Islamic State infiltration among refugees, still wants parishes to take them in
What could possibly go wrong? Last February, the Islamic State promised to flood Europe in the near future with as many as 500,000 refugees. And an Islamic State operative recently boasted that among the flood of refugees, 4,000 Islamic State jihadis had entered Europe. “They are going like refugees,” he said, but they were going […]
