At last, a world leader speaks the simple and unvarnished truth, and it is, of all people, Shimon Peres. Now, was that really so hard? Are Barack Obama and David Cameron and John Kerry and the rest going to rush to scold Peres and admonish him that the Qur’an doesn’t teach beheading, but peace? Or will there be, finally, a realistic appraisal of how jihad terrorists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism, and serious thought about what can and should be done about that? Whatever happens, that almost certainly will not happen.
“Peres to the Pope: Terrorists Are Justifying Beheadings Through the Quran,” Arutz Sheva, September 4, 2014 (thanks to Hastings):
Former Israeli President Shimon Peres met today (Thursday) at the Vatican with Pope Francis.
Peres told Pope Frances that “Terrorist organizations are justifying beheadings by quoting passages of their Quran – there must be an international anti-terror coalition formed, and one of the mandates religious leaders is to bring about tolerance and reconciliation,” he said.
“I, for one, appreciate your show of support in the dialogue to bring peace among all peoples,” Peres stated.
Don McKellar says
It is only with great effort and time that anything is accomplished by stating the obvious that people don’t want to hear.
gerard says
Yes, but remember the industry of misinformation is tireless. We must be at least equally tireless in telling the truth. Fight fire with fire?
Shane says
I have liked on Facebook and tweeted a number of great articles on Jihad Watch today. We must fight against Islamic jihad by telling the world the truth about the religion of war , Islam, and the Warlord Muhammad.

Qu’ran 47:4 When you meet the unbeliever,strike the necks___
This is where they find their justification of beheading

“Peres to the Pope: Terrorists Are Justifying Beheadings Through the Quran,”
It needs to be said. Shout it from the rooftops.
Well done Shimon Peres!
Michael Copeland says
His Holiness will have to teach Shimon Peres the “proper reading” of the Koran.

Quite! And never was that quote more appropriate than now.
It shows the difference in class between Israeli politicians and our own pathetic leaders.
Not surprising though, given that Israel has been on the front line for years.
Cameron, Obama, take a lesson from a real statesman!

Rezali Mehil says
Muhammad SAW was a lion, who was power hungry, successful, materialistic, a womanizer, a successful businessman and in touch with Allah SWT. Although not written anywhere he must have been a powerful orator too…despite being uneducated.
He lionized his way to his followers …you are either successful …or you are dead…he weeded out the weaklings, the weak minded and others who he simply did not like.
He focused minds …”forget about music, drink …tend to the job of Islam” and proper upbringing of the children within it’s closed loop parameters.
More, he chose the best and fittest women regardless of them being christian, Assyrian, Roman, Jewish …i.e. he did not discriminate …that was his strength….to birth Muslims who would themselves be fit and strong and beautiful.
He gave 4 women to each man so that he could gather a band new army in 20 years…and could repeat the cycle every 20 years.
The Christians on the other hand – had their messiah crucified.
The Christians had something like 10 crusades…..each one becoming less successful than the preceding one.
Even powerful kingdoms like the Byzantines would dither, and not make decisions like Obama et al are doing now….the Muslim armies simply devoured them whilst they were procrastinating.
Only the Polish General Jan III Sonofabithchski in 1683 spoiled the party …and now because of him, we are ALL having to suffer…as there would have been world peace by now …all the caliphas were not like this pri*k Abu Bakr . I hate him and his excesses and I do not condone his violence.
Let’s call a spade a spade …This Pope and the Polish guy before him are scared stiff of remotely indicating crusades, or quoting the Koran ..instead they prefer to kiss it.
They cannot look at any verses…preferring instead to quote the watered down new testament ..and provide weak leadership that Christians are so renowned for …
Still you have form….what to say …what to do ….#
More Later….

I appreciate your candor. You dropped reference to the non-existent Allah after the first paragraph, by referring to things that Muhammad “gave” the Muslims, like the four wives. Rarely do we ever see a Mohammedan admit the obvious truth, that there is no Allah and Islam was nothing more than Muhammad’s rise to power by uniting the Arabian Peninsula, placing himself on top of course.
Your celebratory sneer at Peres and Francis was noted, although worshipping a long dead desert warlord falls far short of any virtue of piety to human decency, but then again, you revel in worshipping the indecent and profane.
I wish more Mohammedans like you would post this honestly and openly. It makes all our jobs a little easier.
Wellington says
So, Rezali, it’s really all John Sobieski’s fault? Figures that a Mohammedan like yourself would argue such a ridiculous assertion. But, just for argument’s sake, assuming you’re correct, then I have woefully underestimated what a truly great man John Sobieski was. He spared the entire West, the entire world, the wretched fate for centuries of being under the spiritual straitjacket which Islam imposes upon its deluded believers, not to mention the dearth of liberty that would have been the case from the late seventeenth century onwards since freedom and Islam are polar opposites of one another. I previously had a high opinion of Sobieski, but if your assessment is correct, then, hell, he’s just about the greatest human being who ever lived.
Oh, one thing else. How about “less later” rather than “more later?” A lot less actually. In fact, “never” would be optimal. Think you could manage that, Rezali? Give it a shot.
Aardvark says
“to birth Muslims who would themselves be fit and strong and beautiful.”
Well, that didn’t work out either, did it! Just take a gander at any of the pix in the newspapers of the paedophiles, murderers, rapists and other mohammedans.
Not single face among them that I would call either strong or beautiful! Undershot jaws masked with scruffy beards, dead eyes, teeth like a row of broken tombstones, ugly bruises in the middle of their foreheads… And all the result of mohammedanism and the thousand years of inbreeding it has forced on its followers.
Mirren10 says
” …all the caliphas were not like this pri*k Abu Bakr . I hate him and his excesses and I do not condone his violence.”
Come off it, rezali ! 🙂
You only hate him because he’s a sunni shit, instead of a shiite shit ! Because he and his minions are killing Shiites. And you’re a touch schizophrenic over that as well, dithering between that and gloating over all the blood and violence.
More later, chumbawumba !
Wellington says
Well, Mirren, I would argue that any devout Mohammedan has to be at least “a touch schizophrenic.” After all, the Model Man was (actually greatly so).
Oh Christ, could mankind have anything more screwed up, more a mess, than a major religion founded by a schizophrenic, psychopathic, pedophiliac fraud? I can’t right now think of anything which tops this. Even Karl Marx with his idiotic ideas and Adolf Hitler with his many hates are only junior varsity wannabes here compared to Mohammed.
Hope you and yours are doing well in this very goofy, exceedingly goofy, world we live in. Well, when the likes of Obama and Cameron are leading the West, I submit that 1) the West is in deep shit; and 2) much more shit lies ahead.
Take care, pal. As best you can.

But Jesus rose from the dead! …and muhammad did not.
Question: “Why did Jesus have to die?”
Answer: Jesus died on the cross to bear sin’s punishment for believers. Many people have doubted Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection from the grave, despite historical evidence. Muslims question, “Why would Allah require His prophet Isa to die?”
The Scripture explains that Jesus Christ died for our sins: “Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3b-4).

St. Michael Defend Us says
Rezali, since you are such a fan of Jan III Sobieski, I’m sure you will enjoy watching the movie “The Day of the Siege: September Eleven 1683” starring F. Murray Abraham.
The character of Jan III Sobieski and his hussars are well portrayed.
I’m sure you wish someone would make a movie about Rezali, but, they won’t, only heroes such as Jan III Sobieski!
GP says
So called Moderate Muslims, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, and ISIL all have one thing in common, IS LAM! All muslim terrorist groups use passages in the Quaran as inspiration for their violent murderous jihad.

The useless Peres needs to hang it up.
That pathetic old man was lobbying congress to NOT censure Turkey by voting to recognize ARMENIAN genocide … Because it would be detrimental to Israel’s interests!!!!!
Bezelel says
I have heard Pamela Geller say that expunging the violent texts from the koran would work. I don’t see it happening but it would be a start.
Aardvark says
Only if you could hop into your time machine and expunge them a thousand years ago!
There is no single Islamic authority equivalent to the Pope who could announce which verses were no longer to be considered part of the koran, and without that I don’t see how these verses could be removed.
Easier to just remove islam. Starting with removing it from the civilised West.
bobm says
this pope a muslim quisling.
Bill says
You are correct. And Robert Spencer has already reviewed Giulio Meotti’s book “The Vatican Against Israel.” Spencer found the evidence of the Vatican opposition against Israel convincing. Read it yourself.
TradCath says
The following is an attempt to inform Catholic readers on this blog about Vatican II’s “ecumenism” cooked up by council fathers like Bishop Suenens and Father Yves Congar.
From August 20, USCCB: ‘The bishops expressed sadness over “deliberate rejection” of the call to engage in dialogue with Muslims by some Christians, Catholic and not. They noted that the call to respect and dialogue comes from the Second Vatican Council’s Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions (Nostra Aetate) and has been reaffirmed by subsequent popes. They also noted that, for nearly 20 years, their committee has dialogued with several national Muslim organizations, producing documents on education, marriage and revelation.’ http://www.usccb.org/news/2014/14-144.cfm
umbra says
Some within the Vatican believe that the “inter-faith” dialogue with islam is a waste of time. It is a one way street with the catholic side either conceding to or stuck in a deadlock with the islamic in all major contentious issue.
Bill says
The bigger story would be: “Pope Francis declares that Islam is the religion and political system of the antichrist.”
profitsbeard says
If Pope Francis hasn’t already studied the Koran (and the Hindu Bhagavad Gita, and Buddhist Tripitaka, the Tao Te Ching, and Book of Mormon, at least ) then he needs a nun to smartly smack his knuckles with a steel-edged ruler.
The Pontiff’s response isn’t quoted, but Peres should have received a reply from Padre Francis along the lines of:
“I know the passage. Heartless literalism is a sin. Dante placed Muhammad quite well, don’t you agree?”
And see if Peres would have the cultural savvy for that quip.
Thomas Wells says
It would make a fitting recruiting slogan for the Satanic islamic army: ” Behead all you can behead.”
