Pope Francis may be a nice man, but he seems to be losing his grip on reality. No doubt riding around in the Popemobile, protected from dangers and surrounded by security he can make declarations that ignore the reality that Islam is at war with the world, particularly with Christians, Jews, and those who are not part of the “right” Muslim sect.
The world is a dangerous place, and it is true that violence exists from street gangs, domestic violence and thugs in every country.
However, none of these groups or individuals are blowing up stadiums and beheading individuals wholesale in the name of their religion. Pope Francis has become quite passionate about understanding and sympathizing with Islam, but he is not touched by the virulent, destructive nature of the religion or the evil perpetrators of Islamic jihad. He should get out more.
Pope Francis compares Islamic terrorism to domestic violence, page 2:
John, he can’t answer. He’s an idiot.
I know what you will say about the Crusades: there were just a few compared to the number of attacks by the expanding armies of Islam, and its true! We agree. Is that why you brought up the subject of the Crusades to show how Christians are not evil expansionists like the Muslims. I do not think that is an argument you will win. There is no corner of the world Christians did not go to, try to convert the locals, decide they were inferior/ incorrigible/ ungrateful/ slowing their progress, so they killed them. Christians have been evil expansionists too. PEOPLE are evil and it is often religion that gets them that way. The Muslims call their religion the “religion of Peace”. I dare you to read the following words from the sacred book of the Religion of Peace. Read these words carefully. Do you find anything ambiguous about them? If you were a follower/ fundamentalist/ true believer/soldier of this religion would there be any doubt how to deal with your enemy, their cities, their women, children, monuments, places of worship? You think we do not have to fear the “Religion of Peace”? From the [Koran]:
If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from [Allah]… Then all… will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying it, all that is in it and its livestock—with the edge of the sword. And you shall gather all its plunder into the middle of the street, and completely burn with fire the city and all its plunder, for [Allah]. It shall be a heap forever; it shall not be built again. So none of the accursed things shall remain in your hand, that [Allah] may turn from the fierceness of His anger and show you mercy, have compassion on you and multiply you… because you have listened to the voice of [Allah] to keep all His commandments which I command you today, to do what is right in the eyes of [Allah].”
Except of course this is from the Bible, not the Koran: Deuteronomy 13:6. Do you believe the Bible literally? This is as excellent and unambiguous a command from God/Allah as any— as any in the Koran—to mercilessly kill your enemies, kids, women, nonbelievers, their false Gods, their monuments, books, art, etc., with God/Allah’s blessing. Maybe the problem is people, not which religion they profess.You can find what you want in both your holy books; reasons to be merciful, reasons to hate. And Jesus said he came to fulfill the old book, so do not cop out and tell me it does not count anymore, that it is superceded by the New Testament. What do you think? What does the Holy Book say about homosexuals?
I hate to admit it, but I think you are right..He is a radical liberal
Go back to your clown car
Do you also know that double negatives are a sign of incompetence?
Mark Siegfried If you are going to insult someone based on intellect, it’s best to evade looking like a complete fool by not knowing the difference between “your’ and YOU’RE!!!!
Catholic violence is ancient history, Muslim violence is today!
Ok, but what was the last time that happened? The modern church is not violent, socialist yes but not violent. Muslims are vile inhuman animals that have no place in modern society. They choose to attack and the world must awake and drive them from our shores and back to the pages of history.
I love what you said. You are 1000 percent correct. It is time for the leaders of the west to realize that freedom of religion should not apply to Muslims. They us our good nature and freedom against us. Every mosque they built is a sign of conquest.
Brad Shawe How many Muslims out of the Billion are violent? I gotta hear this.
