Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pope Francis meets Iran’s President to boost nuke deal, Mideast peace

By

“If we want peace in the Middle East, Iran and Iranian Islam have a vital role to play,” said the Rev. Bernardo Cervellera. Good to see the Pope giving his blessing to a rogue regime with genocidal aspirations. It is a wise move and perfectly in line with the Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch’s robust defense […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Francis, Far From Infallible

By

At the beginning of every year, the Pope delivers an address in Rome to welcome the foreign diplomatic corps accredited to the Vatican. Pope Francis, a nice guy, has just delivered such a speech. It deserves attention. The main theme of Francis’s speech is immigration, the mass movement of peoples, now this way and now […]

Pope to refugees: Muslims can “expel the illness within our hearts” with Qur’an

By

This is two years old, and while we generally don’t feature archival material, it seemed newly relevant in light of the events in Cologne. The Pope tells Muslims to expel the illness within their hearts and assuage their bitterness with the Qur’an. He doubtless has no idea that the Qur’an says that Muslims can sooth […]

Muslims plotted murder of Pope: “this will be the last Pope”

By

These poor dears just don’t understand their own religion! Pope Francis needs to go visit them personally, and explain to them how “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” If they don’t speak Italian, he could take along some Arabic-speaking Eastern Catholic bishop with a solid […]

Pope visits Central African Republic mosque: “Together, we say no to hatred, to vengeance and violence”

By

“Christians and Muslims and members of traditional religions have lived peacefully for many years” — as long as the dhimmi Christians knew their place. It is all very well for him to say no to hatred, vengeance and violence; what Muslim leaders are joining him in doing so? Did he visit a church in the […]

William Kilpatrick: ‘Humility and Hubris’

By

William Kilpatrick uses the Pope’s remarks during his recent American visit as an opportunity to discuss the need for “humility before the facts,” versus “uninformed pronouncements on everything from climate change to jihad.” “Humility and Hubris,” by William Kilpatrick, Crisis Magazine, September 29, 2015: Much has been written about the Pope’s humility, and he himself has […]

Islamic State jihadis deride “coconuts”: Muslims who participated in interfaith activities with Pope

By

Given the nature of the Islamic State, this condemnation must be seen as a death threat. In any case, it indicates why we don’t see more sincere Islamic reformers: their lives are threatened by hardliners. And the cartoon of the Islamic State slashing the “Coexist” symbol is a candent illustration of the futility and fatuousness […]

Pope says 9/11 caused by “inability to find solutions which respect the common good”

By

“It is possible to live in a world of peace. It is possible to live together with our different paths, different cultures, different religions.” Yes, that’s true, if all of us with our different paths, different cultures, and different religions respect one another and one group doesn’t try to gain hegemony and deny equal rights […]

Cardinal Danneels admits: “Mafia” club brought down Benedict XVI to make Church “much more modern”

By

Danneels “called it a ‘mafia’ club that bore the name of St. Gallen. The group wanted a drastic reform of the Church, to make it ‘much more modern’, and for Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio to head it.” Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio is Pope Francis. So this “mafia” cabal succeeded. They got their Pope who would help them […]
