Jihad Watch

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

Pope’s envoy warns of “silent genocide” and “biggest terrorism in the world”

Jan 25, 2016 8:41 am By Robert Spencer

“A silent genocide” and “the biggest terrorism in the world.” Did Charles Maung Bo mean the Muslim persecution of Christians that has eradicated ancient Christian communities in Iraq, while Catholic bishops in the West stand by silently afraid to harm their precious and utterly useless “dialogue” with Muslim leaders? Did he mean the terrorism that has claimed committed over 27,000 jihad terror attacks worldwide since 9/11, and more every day, and boasts about its imminent conquest of Rome and the entire West?

No, of course he doesn’t mean that silent genocide or that terrorism. He means poverty and injustice — in other words, he means that the West needs to give more money to Third World nations. That the West might collapse utterly from jihad activity, Muslim migration, Sharia supremacism, etc., well, Catholic prelates don’t speak of such things. To do so would be to “provoke” Muslims and “poke them in the eye,” when they know that “respect” (i.e., cringing, shivering fear combined with appeasement) is the order of the day.

Catholic bishops today are failing their people, failing the Church, failing the world, and helping pave the way for a catastrophe of proportions they will find unimaginable when it engulfs them, but at that point it will be far too late.

Charles Maung Bo and Francis

“Pope’s envoy warns of ‘silent genocide’ and ‘biggest terrorism,’” by Nestor Corrales, Inquirer.net, January 24, 2016:

CEBU CITY – “A silent genocide” and “the biggest terrorism in the world.”

The Pope’s envoy at the 51st International Eucharistic Congress (IEC) made that analogy to describe starvation, poverty and injustice in the world.

Citing a data from the United Children’s Nation’s Fund (Unicef), Charles Maung Cardinal Bo of Myanmar said 20, 000 die of starvation and malnutrition everyday, totaling to more than seven million a year.

In a powerful homily on Sunday, Cardinal Bo urged Catholics to declare a “third world war” against poverty and break the “chains of injustice.”

“In a world that continues to have millions of poor, the Eucharist is a major challenge to humanity,” he said.

“What is the greatest mortal sin? Seeing a child dying of starvation,” the cardinal added.

In a press conference on Monday, Bishop Mylo Hubert Vergara said the papal legate’s homily was a challenge to the Catholic faithful to make fighting poverty and injustice “a priority.”

“To make it as urgent, to become a priority in us,” Vergara told reporters.

He said social justice is a responsibility of everyone.

“We want to make social justice realized, to live it out. And it is a responsibility for all of us.” he said.

Vergara said Cardinal Bo’s statement was an urgent call “just to make us realized that we really have to fight for poverty, graft and corruption.”…

Maybe it would be better to fight against them, but whatever you say, Mylo — who am I to question a bishop?

        Exactly, in reading about 5th century Ireland where education was free to everyone the church would feed house and clothe and educate anyone. it was said that most would not seperate themselves from their kind to take advantage of it.
        Meaning most would rather stand on a street corner with their buddies. Things have not changed much in all this time.

      The “Vatican riches” are great works of art, architectural monuments, rare books, and the like.

      These are the inheritance of all mankind, and the Church is merely the custodian and curator (at great expense) of them.

      Judas asked a similar question–but not because he had any love for the poor. Instead he wanted to help himself to the proceeds. At least, this is what the Bible says.

          Good point! It’s a very paternalistic attitude, and one that dings their credibility when discussing poverty. Selling it off to museums won’t ‘solve world hunger’, but it will help with the credibility gap.

      Kim Bruce repeats the canard of the ‘wealth of the Vatican’ which can barely pay salaries of its employees. Church real estate cannot be sold without going out of business. Church artefacts will not make anyone rich. The important news here is that the pope is sending a message to Western leaders that the Church is beginning to see Islamic terrorism as the biggest persecutor of Christians and they are asking Western countries to stop the persecution. The pope has no ‘divisions’.

      • Oliver says

        Jan 30, 2016 at 7:51 pm

        Mortimer

        Probably cannot pay its employees because of what the leaders steal and their payouts for the pedophile priests. (I am not sure of the number, but some Diocese in the US declared bankruptcy to avoid paying).

        By the way, a piece of trivia. The first (US) cases came in Boston-one of the lead attorneys (for the plaintiff/s) was the great nephew of Archibald MacLeish- the (as best I know) last American Poet Laureate. The law firm that they worked for was Greenberg, Traurig (possibly spelled wrong) which was and is one of the largest in the eastern US (possibly in the nation).,

          Dusty,

          Some years ago ( this was the early 1970’s) there was an Italian (born, lived in New York City for years) Michael (or perhaps the Italian spelling of it?) Sin-dona. He owned and ran a bank in New York, Franklin National Bank. They basically were a laundry for the Vatican.

          When the bank was failing-I forgot the reasons (disclaimer-I worked for a firm that did a great deal of business with Franklin- and made lots of money off of them)-Mr. Sindona went back to Italy. Where the Vatican had him promptly arrested. And, without ever having a trial-and,as best I recall, even knowing the Italian’s reasons fro arresting him, he “committed suicide”. (or,as was commonly believed in the Wall Street community of the day-murdered-so as not to tell who his bosses were). (In the Franklin case, there was evidence of the laundering for the Vatican, or its “firms”.

          I believe that there was a similar case a few years ago, also.

          The Vatican does take care of their own. And, to an extent, the hell with everyone else.

          (Look how they protected the pedophile priests, not only in the US, but Ireland, The Philippines, and elsewhere).

      There is no hope for the Roman Catholic Church! It has been taken over by left wing twits who find nothing wrong with letting millions of Muslims from backward countries into Europe and North America to rape our women and girls and to molest our children. Muslims do not assimilate; they subjugate the infidels. Time for conservative Catholics to leave the church and donate their money to groups that help christians who are being persecuted in Muslim countries.

      Jan 26, 2016 at 2:05 pm

      Jesus told His disciples, and before Him, Moses, also speaking for Yhwh God, said the same, that the poor would ALWAYS be with us in this world. I have a feeling They were probably far more knowledgeable on the subject that this or any other “Pope” has ever been. The fact that this current Pope is also a Jesuit, and thus committed to the NWO/1 world government could well have much to do with the pronouncements he issues, however. The Bible certainly doesn’t. But we can be sure the Vatican will part with neither its wealth nor its power, at any time before the return of the true King to claim His throne and Kingdom!

    Is the Pope or any of his flunkies aware that Catholics or anyone believing in the Trinity or the divinity of Christ considered the same as polytheists by Muslim theologians? Catholics, Hindus, worshippers of Ra — eventually they get the same treatment: convert to Islam or die. They are not “People of the Book.”

      There is a big chance the answer to your question is “no, they have no idea of what Islam is”. We must reckon with the possibility clergymen have no clue and actually mean what they say, however idiotic this is.

      From their utterances in the media it is clear that the majority of politicians, journalists, etc. did not read the Koran. But one has to have knowledge of the Koran to notice this. I would not be surprised if the part of the non-Muslim electorate in the west that did not read a single page of the Koran exceeds 99%. The average non-Muslim probably mistakenly believes, as I did, that the Koran is just another religious book like the Bible, the book of Mormon, the Veda’s etc.

      In my experience it is also very difficult to induce them to take a look at it. I met a quite famous Dutch journalist, Arnold Karskens, at a pegida demo and asked him if he read the Koran. He said “no”, which I found very strange because he has been a war correspondent in Muslim countries for many years. I gave him a sticker with my website’s address (click my name) but he did not bother to take a look at the site as I can tell from his article. Also he did not answer an email I sent him so I guess he will remain clueless about what he is dealing with.

    No, the biggest sin is doing nothing while people’s heads are sawed off.

    The vast majority of poverty comes from the fact that people like Stalin and Mao run countries, instead of people like George Washington.

    As much as I want to help people, and as much as I HAVE helped people, I simply will not put a penny to a fund or cause that winds up sending more money to administration fees or a dictator’s bank account, than to the people.

      “Also known as the Charter of Medina, the document was drafted by the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) in 622 CE and is hailed as the world’s first written constitution as well as the first Muslim constitution.”

      That was later sabotaged by Muhammad (May he be eternally sodomized by goats), who went on to slaughter the very tribes the treaty referred to.

    Catholicism is diametrically opposed to the Truth. Catholicism is another religion leading to hell and fingers on the same hand with islam….ever noticed how their clothing and prayer beads are the same… the dishdasha (long sleeve, mid-calf shirt and loose pants worn by muslim men) and the dress worn by monks and catholic priests both muslim and catholics holding their prayer beads close? Catholicism shares the same convictions about Jews and the Temple Mount as islam. Catholics who claim that the Land promised by G-d to the Jews now belongs to them as Orthodox Jews have seen over and over their stand with the invented people Palestinians who cannot even promise the word correctly because in Arabic there is NO LETTER ” P ” and it was the Roman invasion of Israel led by Titus that resulted in the change of the name ISRAEL to Palestine, so the invented people need to go to Rome and NOT mecca to bend over to their god, inch allah.

      The wacko shosh7154 seems more obsessed with Catholicism (which Muslims see as a potential threat) than Islam and overlooks:
      The reason Arabic there is NO LETTER ” P ” and Muslims pronounce “prophet’ as “Brophet’ is because they subconsciously know that Muhammad was a Bitch not a prophet.

    The greatest source of poverty the days are war and corrupt politicians. A good percentage of this war is proceeding from Islamic jihad. This may not be the case for long for two reasons. One is a possible or probable economic collapse procoked by greedy banksters, politicians and the elites who run the world. The second is not globall warming, but the opposite, global cooling which alteady began 17 years ago. The combination of these is goi g to be casastrophic and the freeze is probably going to kick in hard at the end of this decade and go on until the middle 30s of the century. Why did the French Revolution happen when it did. It followed two hears of crop failures and bread riots. It is going to be a huge catastrophe and Obamaand Co. ARe going in the opposite direction. What percentage of the world population will die of starvation. No one knows, but it may be of apocayltic proportions. Besides some decent and brave scientists in the West who are not takub the cash from Obama to support the global warming myth there are also Russians predicting the and the mostly coincide in the dates. This may have some positive side effects si ce the kies of the Obamas and Clintons of this world will discovered and it is also probable that jihad will ease or at least the ba king, political a d media elites will be totally rejected as peoplTe have to go back to such basics as putting food on the table the next day.

      …………………..

      This is certainly true.

      In fact, people simply do not starve to death any more unless aid is prevented from reaching them–and that only happens in war zones and where corruption prevents aid from reaching the victims.

      And yet Cardinal Bo acts as if this is not the case.

    But what about sexual abuse in Islam?
    Isn’t Islam an over-ripe tomato long overdue for a Hollywood trashing?

        It is the Roman Catholic church’s advocating of poverty that is the real problem here.

        India has been mentioned, but Mexico is pretty much in the same boat.

        Until very recently, the majority of Central and South America was Roman Catholic too but are making inroads for Protestants, particularly evangelical Christians.

        Why?

        Because the poor know they can get ahead through education and a work ethic, Puritan style. Financial wealth is still seen as a symbol of election to God’s kingdom.

        Shosh7154, I attended a Catholic school for eight years of my life and I don’t recall even one time that Jews were spoken of as being bad people. In fact, I remember the Jews being called the Chosen People and being told that Jesus was born of Jewish parents and raised as a Jew and that the Apostles were Jews. I remember being taught to try be like Jesus and Mary and Joseph and the Apostles and to have love, kindness and mercy in my heart but yet to be strong and to trust in God when confronted with evil. I was NEVER taught to think Jews are evil. As for Muslims ……. I don’t recall anything ever being mentioned about Muhammad and Islam at all …….. good, bad or indifferent. However, I will admit that the Catholic Church today is different from the Church I knew back before Vatican II …. some ways better and some ways worse. I don’t think the core teaching have changed though. That’s the truth.

          I went to a Catholic University before and during Vatican 2. SOME -NOT ALL-of the priests would say that IF YOU ARE NOT CATHOLIC YOU ARE CONDEMNED TO HELL. Others were more open minded. And a point-made often by the open minded priests–ECUMENICLAISM WAS TO BE BETWEEN CATHOLICS AND OTHER CHRISTIANS, ONLY.

          Jews, Hindus; Muslims; etc. not included. (Actually was a question on an exam in a Catholic theology course I took- I am not Catholic, but this class time did not interfere with my job).
          Some of the priests were the most bigoted people I have ever had the misfortune to know and meet.

          Jan 25, 2016 at 7:35 pm

          Well, as I said, Oliver, I don’t remember being taught that Jews or any other people or religions were bad. The teachers I had, both clerical and lay, stuck to teaching about the Catholic faith.

          I later attended a public high school and no reference to any kind of religion whatsoever was ever made by anybody in any of my classes. When I attended a state run college I took an elective course called “Philosophy of Religion” hoping to learn something about other religions. But the professor took the position that we were supposed to teach ourselves. He would come into the class room and sit down and then wait for someone to begin a discussion about anything involving religion. I remember a few times we would all just sit there in silence for almost the full time period before anyone would say something. Religion is just such a touchy subject and I’m beginning to think more and more that perhaps it’s a subject that should be kept private and not discussed in public. Believe what you want as long as it does not infringe on the beliefs of anyone else or bring harm to another … but of course Muslims don’t think that way.

          I agree with you. I did same SOME priests. Not all.

          AS TO YOUR LAST STATEMENT– ( this is a COMPLIMENT) –Thomas Jefferson said ALMOST THE SAME THING, -back in the 1770’s. As best I remember what he said- it went something like this–” why should it bother me, if a man believes in One G-d, and that is the G-d I believe in; or one I don’t? or if a man believes in many G-ds, . As long as I can follow what I believe in.

          I am sure that someone could find the exact quote- been around almost 250 years. And, is, and should be,as true today as then.

      Big name Hollywood celebrities salivate and have orgasms of self-assured indignation at the thought of starring in a movie about the Catholic sex abuse scandal.
      Spotlight (2015) Micheal Keaton, Mark Ruffallo, Rachel McAdams
      http://www.rottentomatoes.com/search/?search=spotlight

      But what about sexual abuse in Islam?
      Isn’t Islam an over-ripe tomato long overdue for a Hollywood trashing?
      for example:
      The British rape gang cover-ups
      The well organized Islamic inspired ‘game’ Cologne attacks.

      It is time for Hollywood to shine the SPOTLIGHT on Islam.

        Again, it becomes a problem of relative tolerance. The West will tolerate a movie like Spotlight about pedophile Priests. Muslims would kill each other in a mindless stampede frenzy, in some Islamic Black Hole country, if a studio only agreed and published its intent to make a movie about Muslim Rape Gangs.

          Then CAIR would complain about such a movie being Islamophobic and even send suicide bombers after everyone involved in the making of the film.

          That is how Muslims think.

          More importantly, Westman, Muslims would threaten *us* if such a film were made.

    A few days ago there was an article in which somebody compared ISIS to the Vikings. The Vikings were every bit as brutal as ISIS in their desecration of churches and the murder of Christians. Yet today most, if not all, of the countries from which the Vikings originated have some variation of the sign of the cross on their national flags. How did this come to be? How were a people who brought the word “berserk” into our language overcome by a bunch of meek and enemy-loving Christians? Well, for one thing it took strong leaders and armies who were not afraid to stand up for the meek. It took some military victories and the conversion to Christianity of Viking kings who had been humbled after bloody battles with Christian forces. Those Viking kings who converted to Christianity then ordered their subjects to give up the old pagan religions and to convert to Christianity also. It wasn’t easy and it wasn’t pretty but it eventually made Europe a better place to live ….. a place which now Muslims seem to prefer as their “refuge” from a people every bit as brutal as the Vikings.

    The world in which live today was forged in fire and tempered in blood. History has a way of repeating itself …. and only the strong survive.

    They have to *fight for poverty, graft and corruption”….they are fighting for these and they are winning.

    Now if only they knew how to “fight the fine fight of the faith.” But alas, it’s too late for that. We are way into the “time of the end.” “The end of all things has drawn close.”

    “What is the greatest mortal sin? Seeing a child dying of starvation,” the cardinal added” The greatest mortal sin is a Muslim with four wives having 28 children and then expecting the West to be responsible for their well being.

    “‘What is the greatest mortal sin? Seeing a child dying of starvation,’ the cardinal added.”

    As I recall, the greatest mortal sin is to deny the Holy Spirit, which would include failure to respond to divine promptings to combat hunger. The sin is to witness such tragedy and then to do nothing to preclude such, according to one’s means. Simultaneously, purposeful failure to fulfill one’s responsibilities as a Christian religious leader is no mere moral issue. Rewarding Islam moral equivalency with Christianity is indefensible. “Dialogue” with evil is evil in itself. Orchestrated ecclesiastical efforts to denounce those who denounce evil is evil in itself. Refusal to formally attribute Christian genocide to adherents of well-established, Islamic canonical texts is evil in itself. Appeasement to evil is evil in itself.

    For their silence while Christians, Jews and others are massacred at the hands of devout Muslims, Catholic bishops are culpable. That is the greatest a mortal sin.

    I’ve noticed that most churches do nothing to improve the lot of their members except give money and food while still declaring that teaching a man to fish is better than giving him fish. This is the method used by most governments which literally creates current and new dependents.

    I live in the US West where education and skills make the difference between self-sufficiency or dependence. I have watched two generations grow to adulthood and noticed that the end result of giving continuous support-level goods and money is literally, more children, and more dependent adult offspring.

    The kids in the neighborhood who had learning difficulties received no help from academics in the congregation, nor the more important adult mentoring that comes with it. In fact no improving services were offered with the justification that “we don’t want to compete against businesses owned by the larger church membership”. Of course the kids parents couldn’t afford the commercial services which also required strapped parents to conform to the sevicer’s time schedules.

    The next time you run across a mega-church TV show, listen for a while with this question in mind: “How does this message help a child struggling with school and home difficulties in a world of sniping competitive peers?” Today’s mega-message seems to be, “Send me(a self-appointed messenger of God) money and God will give you more”. (Dont worry that it’s from your child’s education fund or mouth.)

    Real charity doesn’t mean handing the robbed and beaten traveler on the road a handful of money with instructions to find a motel. He’s more likely to be robbed again.

    Whatever happened to service as a means of instilling responsibility in young adults? Does anyone remember the Peace Corps? Can anyone name the national goal of the US? Has there been a national goal since getting to the Moon?

    Sorry about the rant. It’s just difficult to watch what our greatest generation built for us, not wealth, but character, go down the drain of indifference while the barbarians are at the door. Maybe when the Vatican gets attacked, as the virtual nation with a goal(ISIS) has promised, the religious world and governments will wake up.

      Westman, some years ago, (I forgot exactly or even approximately when, but pre-Obama–although I would expect some crap like this from him)–anyway:

      some black “leaders” complained that the SAT and IQ tests were racially biased.

      REASONING: ASKED QUESTIONS THAT BLACK CHILDREN MIGHT NOT KNOW THE ANSWERS TO.

      SOLUTION: QUESTIONS SUCH AS ( THIS I AM NOT MAKING UP-WORDING MIGHT BE A BIT OFF HOWEVER) (NOTE- TYPING AS MY EYES HURT-EASIER FOR ME TO READ) SOLUTION: QUESTIONS LIKE: HOW TO USE FOOD STAMPS. WHAT (PRODUCTS) ONE COULD BUY WITH THEM. WHAT PRODUCTS ONE COULD NOT.

      ALSO, HOW TO APPLY FOR WELFARE BENEFITS, ETC.

      NOTHING ABOUT, PERHAPS THESE LEADERS SHOULD BE PUSHING EDUCATION. TO THE PARENTS AND CHILDREN.

      AND TODAY, OBAMA WANTS MORE COLLECTION FROM FIRMS ABOUT HIRING PRACTICES- AND PAY- BECAUSE O0F ” GENDER BIAS”, ESPECIALLY AGAINST ” WOMEN OF COLOR”. HEY, OVER 150 YEARS AGO, PRESIDENT LINCOLN ISSUED THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION- ENDING SLAVERY.

      IF AN EMPLOYEE, OF ANY GENDER, COLOR , RELIGION, ETHNIC GROUP, ETC FEELS THAT THEY AREN’T TREATED RIGHT, THEY CAN ALWAYS RESIGN.

        That’s the standard MO of left-aligned ” rights groups”: take something that’s neutral, focus on the “victims” of whatever group you claim to champion, and claim discrimination. Were there white people who didn’t know the answer to those questions? How about Asians? Or Hispanics? Of course there were. But they simply don’t matter for black “civil rights” groups. After all, if they admitted that the “discrimination” and “racism” they were allegedly fighting against were not discrimination and racism, people just might start wondering “well, what good are you for anyway?”.

          Angemon, you are correct. I am not sure if you can recall- but a few years ago, Obama’s head of the Dept. Of (Mis/Un) Education released a ” study” that showed black students suspended more often then white students. AND WANTED TO SPEND MORE MONEY TO FIND OUT WHY.

          HAD HE READ FURTHER: HISPANICS AND WHITES WERE SUSPENDED MORE OFTEN THEN ASIANS. Asians had the lowest rates of disciplinary actions of ANY group. (As I recall, the statistics were more or less the same nationwide).

          Also, and largely ignored, BLACK STUDENTS WERE SUSPENDED MOST OFTEN IN SCHOOLS WHERE THE ADMINISTRATORS WERE BLACK.

          However, these last 2 points just get in the way of the victim rants.

          At this time, my niece was a tutor, for elementary and middle school (Junior High in my day) students. Blacks, and to a somewhat lesser extent (mostly in government funded programs) couldn’t are about learning, but in being the biggest badass possible.

          Asians, (including, surprisingly Pakistanis; not surprisingly including Indians, as well as Chinese, Koreans, etc) were attentive, (almost entirely private paying) and often the mother or grandmother would be there, to try and learn, also.

          The victimization crap has to stop. The Emancipation Proclamation was in 1864 or 1865–150 years ago. Blacks have been free for 150 years.

          Someone was trying to get a nice deal: funding to study a non-existent issue. Of course, if they stated that it was a non-existent issue their academic careers would be all but over, so I’m certain they’d find some way to solve it. Ladies and gentlemen, your tax dollars at work!

          “At this time, my niece was a tutor, for elementary and middle school (Junior High in my day) students. Blacks, and to a somewhat lesser extent (mostly in government funded programs) couldn’t are about learning, but in being the biggest badass possible.”

          I had similar experiences with students from the less savory part of the town and gypsies. No desire to learn whatsoever, just trying to out-compete one another to see who was more rude and disrespectful. They had a special curriculum and classes (IT-focused with plenty of practical classes) and all their school supplies were supplied by the school – they never spent a cent buying pens, pencils, paper or books. They ripped their books and notebooks, the ones who didn’t broke their pencils and pens complain that the ones who did stole theirs, took tiny chunks of their erasers to toss at their colleagues – in short, not only most of them didn’t want to learn anything, they despised and derided the ones who did.

    “Maybe it would be better to fight against them….” (poverty, hunger, etc.)

    Whenever someone asks me for money in ‘the fight for hunger’ or similar causes, I say something like this. It’s amazing how many people don’t get it….

    On a serious note, I’d say that humanitarianism is the first resort of many in the Catholic Church governance. It’s a feel good, throw away topic that no one can disagree with; we all want justice, eradication of poverty and corruption, etc. But how do we get there? Apparently the good Cardinal can’t give any specifics either. I know this is cliché, but the Catholic Church will never be quite credible here; its vows of poverty seem cancelled out by Vatican palaces, art treasuries, etc.

    Well, at least the Cardinal could feel good about himself after his speech, and know that no one was upset by a downer topic like the persecution of Christians, and that he wouldn’t be viewed as a potential bigot for mentioning it. He stuck to a nice, safe topic.

    Pope’s envoy warns of “silent genocide” and “biggest terrorism in the world”
    ……………………

    What about the very un-silent genocide being waged by Muslims all over the world?

    And Cardinal Bo should know all about this, given the violent Muslim Jihad in his native Burma.

    Instead, he has been warning non-Muslims there that any defense against Jihad will just lead to more Jihad.

  18. Angemon says

    Jan 25, 2016 at 8:40 pm

    In a powerful homily on Sunday, Cardinal Bo urged Catholics to declare a “third world war” against poverty and break the “chains of injustice.”

    “In a world that continues to have millions of poor, the Eucharist is a major challenge to humanity,” he said.

    “What is the greatest mortal sin? Seeing a child dying of starvation,” the cardinal added.

    This has to be a sick joke. You know what historically did more to free people from the plight of poverty? Capitalism. The same capitalism that Pope Francis preaches against. Third-world country hellholes will continue to be third-world country hellholes as long as the scam of “Humanitarian Aid” continues.

      True.

      And guess what Capitalism’s roots are?

      The one-time arch-enemy of the Roman Catholic Church.

      And it’s not Islam.

      Yes.
