Islamic State beheads Christian priest for praying at the altar of his church

May 19, 2016 2:49 pm By Robert Spencer

“No state or leader had mentioned or condemned the horrific gesture of the terror group for punishing a man for offering prayer.” Why are Church leaders in the West so uniformly silent about the Muslim persecution of Christians? Jean-Clément Jeanbart, the Melkite Greek Catholic Archbishop of Aleppo, gave a recent interview with a French reporter, in which he was highly critical of the mainstream media and even of his fellow bishops for ignoring the Muslim persecution of Middle Eastern Christians. “The European media,” he charged, “have not ceased to suppress the daily news of those who are suffering in Syria and they have even justified what is happening in our country by using information without taking the trouble to verify it.” And as for his brother bishops in France, “the conference of French bishops should have trusted us, it would have been better informed. Why are your bishops silent on a threat that is yours today as well? Because the bishops are like you, raised in political correctness. But Jesus was never politically correct, he was politically just!”

Archbishop Jeanbart was not the first to say this. “Why, we ask the western world, why not raise one’s voice over so much ferocity and injustice?” asked Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, the head of the Italian Bishops Conference (CEI). Syriac Catholic Patriarch Ignatius Ephrem Joseph III Younan appealed to the West “not to forget the Christians in the Middle East.” The Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III has also said: “I do not understand why the world does not raise its voice against such acts of brutality.”

But the Patriarch should have understood, since he is a major part of the problem. After all, he recently said: “No one defends Islam like Arab Christians.” It is to defend Islam that Western clerics do not raise their voice against such acts of brutality. It is to pursue a fruitless and chimerical “dialogue” that bishops in the U.S. and Europe keep silent about Muslim persecution of Christians, and enforce that silence upon others. Robert McManus, Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts, said it on February 8, 2013 as he was suppressing a planned talk at a Catholic conference on that persecution: “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.”

Remember that Mohamed Atta, about the plane he had hijacked on September 11, 2001, told passengers over the intercom: “Stay quiet and you’ll be OK.” The Catholic Church appears to have adopted that statement as its policy regarding Muslim persecution of Christians. When will Pope Francis canonize Atta?

“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)

Islamic State beheads priest

“ISIS decapitates another Christian priest in Syria,” by Madeeha Bakhsh, Christians in Pakistan, May 18, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Terror group Islamic State beheads another Christian this time a priest in the conflict-torn Syria. The Catholic priest Father Yacob Boulos, was severely punished for offering prayers in his church. Media has remained silent over this incident as this incident actually took place on February 18, but nobody reported it unless it was brought out by an Italian newspaper.

There are reliable reports are that Father Yacob Boulos, was beheaded by the terror group’ militants after he prayed on the altar of his church. He was punished for his faith. The Italian newspaper said,” “Boulos Yacoub” was a priest who professava his faith in Syria.”

The Italian newspaper whined over the fact that international media had completely overlooked the plight of these Christians, and this incident went unreported. His crime was only being a man of faith. Condemnation has been heaped on the international leader and community for not paying attention quandary of these Christian priests.

No state or leader had mentioned or condemned the horrific gesture of the terror group for punishing a man for offering prayer. The only sources of this news are the are the curie of Italian provinces via a press release inside.

    The cruel ,vicious and murderous jihadists thugs who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS are actually putting in to the practice ,with all their ruthless actions, the violence and killing that is part of the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam ,the Koran. Which contain the doctrine of extreme violent force for the advancement of Islam. As seen in the Koran, for example, 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. So in spite of the strong denials by many, ISIS is an actual Islamic organization. Likewise the malicious, bloodthirsty violence jihadists who make up ISIS are real Muslims. Nevertheless, there are some who might , understandably, wonder and then ask “Just how can those jihadists of ISIS ,being so very religious , also at the time also be so very malice-filled ,unfeeling and deadly ? “ The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible teaches that there are some people who are extremely heartless, cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [ K.J.V.] In this case of the members of ISIS this “hot iron” is Islam.

      And NATO destroyed Libya on just a fake rumor–leading to the killing of thousands of Libyans and Gaddafi.

      NATO could easily destroy Mosul and Raqqa in a week but it holds back on doing so. Did they care about collateral damage when it bombed Libya for 7 months? No.

      So what is afoot? All this is suspicious given that Hillary Clinton who led the charge to destroy Libya has been on the take to the tune of big millions courtesy a cabal of Arab nation despots including Saudi Arabia. Did they pay off to destroy a secularizing renegade, Gaddafi?

    One of the explanation as to how such totally unconscionable, ruthless, vicious actions and murderous are committed by the Muslim terrorists who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS is answer in the following . The jihadists of ISIS are engaging in the Islamic doctrine of “Muruna” which is the dogma of Islam that teaches committing evil for the greater good is a noble part of the jihad for Islam. This is, in essence, the same type of “philosophy” that the communists had gone by in the twentieth century. That it’s a “good thing “ to commit many evils to obtain a “worker’s paradise.” Likewise, during World War II even the Nazis had this line of thinking.” To express, as in to illustrate this idea, even more, is by using a twenty-first century movie. Near the end of this movie, just before the final defeat of the super-arch –villain General Zod , that super villain said “No matter how brutal and deadly I was I did it for the greater good.” That is the common mindset of many villains including those of ISIS.

  3. Walter Sieruk says

    May 19, 2016 at 2:54 pm

    It may be illustrated that if Islam is represented as a tree then the fruits then the fruits of that tree are the many brutal, violent and deadly jihad terror entities. Such as ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, al Shabaab , Hamas, Hezbollah, P.I.J. etc. With this statement, the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus may, very much, apply to this subject. For Jesus taught “Ye do know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” After saying this Jesus told them what He told them when He said “By their fruit ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:16, 17, 18,.20. [K.J.V.] In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13,20.

          Meanwhile, in the 1400’s: “The whole world knows that the Sun revolves around the earth”. Appeal to (in this case, unsubstantiated) numbers is a logical fallacy.

          “that US backs muslim jihadists in many countries from Afghanistan to the Balkans to Libya to Egypt and now in Syria. What CB says is correct”

          No, it isn’t. Heck, you can’t even get in tune with CB – one says “ISIS” (you know, the entity the US and the West are fighting), the other says “muslim jihadists”. Oh, and what muslim jihadists are the US backing in Afghanistan? The Taliban, which the US fought a war against to remove them from power?

          “and he even provided you the link that while US is arming jihadists in ME and especially in Syria they refused to arm and train Christian militias who are ready to depend themselves.”

He knows that America and Nato bombed Christian Serbia in support of their islamic jihadist allies in the Balkans and created two islamic states (Kosovo & Bosnia) in the heart of Europe. He knows that America and Nato bombed Qaddafi in support of the barbaric islamic jihadists that are now running Libya. He knows that America pressured their long-time ally in Egypt, Gen. Husni Mubarak to step down so that “muslim brotherhood” thugs could rule Egypt. He knows that in the last five years, US (regime changers) along with their genocidal Turkish allies, Qatar, barbaric, head-chopping Saudi Arabia and others such as the UK, France etc were all arming, training and funding ISIS and dozens of other islamic jihadist groups in order to get rid off president Assad of Syria and his regime. As Gen. Michael Flynn said it was “… It was a willful decision to do what they’re doing.” That is, arm those Salafist, al-Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood elements, and do all they could to enable them to do what they’re doing…” more of this on the jihadwatch link below plz:

          I am not at all surprised that the American official you mentioned sided with the muslim woman who verbally attacked you because of your leaving islam. Americans and other Westerners will not hesitate to side with muslim jihadists that are massacring Christians because the West is basically Anti-Christ. The West is the enemy of Christ just as islam is the enemy of Christ. You are also right that in the Balkans America/Nato bombed Christian Serbia and murdered thousands of civilians including women and children in support of their muslim jihadist allies in the Balkans. Please watch the video below and see what US/Nato did to Orthodox Christians in the Balkans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gopoV69HXl8

    Jesus Christ said His true followers would be persecuted and killed for their faith (Matthew 24:9). He also said that He would be with His disciples…His children He has adopted…”Until the conclusion.” He said, “I am with you all the days (Matthew 28:20).”
    He is not stopping the persecution just yet. But the fact that men, women and children can maintain their faith under such horrific trials is proof that He is with them, helping them stay faithful unto death.

        The Bible says that “God has set a day in which to judge the whole inhabited earth (Acts 13).” In the Garden, the decree was set out…Christ would be wounded in His heel and later, the devil would be given a death stroke to the head. Christ was wounded; the devil is soon to face judgment. (Gen. 3:15)

        We have not been given *the day and hour* for this judgment to take place. We have not been told the day and hour when Christ would return with His full heavenly army and bring retribution upon those who murdered His people. (2Thess.1)
        We have been given Scriptures to warn us, to strengthen us and to give us a *sign* of when “deliverance is near” and will soon happen.
        Remember, Jesus said to “keep on praying,” and He gave instructions for praying that “God make His name hallowed/holy…(which it is, but most humans do not recognize it as holy if they even know of His Name),His Kingdom to come, His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6).

        When it is the right time, Christ will return and Divine Justice will take place. And those killed will be given a resurrection (John 5). Remember, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, though they have died, are all still “living” to God because He can undo death. And the causes thereof. (Matthew 22:32)

        It’s awful what is happening. It’s terrible that we can’t do something to stop it. But God knows what is best in all regards. We just need to trust Him, as Jesus and the Proverb says, “With all our (your) heart.”

        2 Corinthians 1:4. God comforts Christians in their tribulation as only He can. And we can pray that He does comfort them, and if the day comes when we are under threat of death, He will do the same for us.

          Many will be amazed in the day that is coming when the Sign of the Son appears in heaven for the entire world to see, and people beat themselves out of fear of what He is going to do in that Day. (Matthew 24)

          Better to have faith in God than in the creatures of dust that live for themselves.
          Faith in God and His Son will be rewarded. The reward is promised. The road to the reward does not carry the guarantee of it being an *easy street*.

      Stop, already, with the quoting of Scripture. Jews have been both criticized and praised for keeping the Faith as they were slaughtered in the 30’s and 40’s. The Church was silent. Has it occurred to anyone that the Lord is finally exacting a penance for that silence that helped to almost obliterate his “Chosen”? Perhaps the Pope needs to be replaced by a risen Joan of Arc. The female protects her own. The Vatican’s soft-bellied Shepherd is deserting his Flock to the rabid wolf. Israel is not being silent. She has the strength of 10, and will defeat her enemies with a mightier slingshot. The Almighty helps those who not only keep the Faith, but help themselves (as well as others). And yet she is denigrated rather than lauded. When will y’all ever learn?

        Pope Pius XII saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of Jews, giving some refuge in the Vatican, in monasteries and convents. This was recognized by many Jewish authorities, not the least of whom, Golda Meir, later Prime Minister of Israel. He considered it better to save lives quietly than making publlic statements which would probably have made the situation of the Jews worse. What did Britain and America do during the war for the Jews? NOTHING.

        ……………………..

        So you are saying that God is aiding in the rise of a faction–violent Muslims–that is virulently antisemitic and seeks the genocide of the Jews, in order to punish Christians for (supposedly) not doing enough to save Jews during the Holocaust? That’s an interesting line of “reasoning”, I suppose…

        And why would God use them to punish Christians in the Middle East who had no control over what was happening in Fascist Europe, in any case?

        Perhaps you should consider reevaluating the logic of your argument?

        Are you, further, gloating over the murder of this poor Christian, because his coreligonists seventy years ago and half way round the world did not do more to speak out for Jewish victims?

I am not “gloating over the murder of this poor Christian”. but castigating all denominations along with the once all-powerful Mother Church for not using its many pulpits to spread the truth of the dangers of Jihadist Islam, to do something concrete to save its faithful not only in the Middle East, but throughout the World. Penance not as punishment, but as the possibility of redemption. Consider it a “Yom Kippur” opportunity for Christianity.. Jews have been the “Canary in the coal mine” for eons with few recognizing the alarm. The pecking order has been initiated. First the Jews, along with the Gypsies, the Gays, the old and disabled; now the Christians, Jizidis, Baha’is, Buddhists, Sikhs, etc. down the line. It is not enough to rely on a minority of the courageous and “moral” Righteous among us. It’s lovely to have a place to vent, discuss, intellectualize, but it’s spitting into the wind, sturm und drang, unless and until this scourge is truly trampled into oblivion.

They only see that Islam is excellent at, as the “Palestinians” say, “Finishing the work of Hitler.” And let’s all remember that Hitler was a man of the Left and deeply admired in the Arab Muslim world. Hitler hated the conscience and flipped the entire concept on its head, as the Left will consistently, as a matter of their “faith” always do.

      The MSN Left also believe in “white priviledge” and “white guilt” as tools of destruction and Islam is the ultimate tool of constant destruction, as is the case with any “army” in the theatre of war.

          That’s because they’ve been conditioned for decades now to act that way. I have noticed that for a long time now in all soapies they bag Republicans and make the Democrats seem evolved. This was the first phase. All Republican supporters have always been portrayed as old fashioned and extreme and not fit to live in a changing world while Democrats have always been seen as the evolved, sane and fashionable lot.
          Seeing how most people care about the way they are perceived they gravitated to the “evolved and tolerant” side.
          This side was first to be under Islam spell. That’s my take on this anyway.
          Most celebrities are Democrat voters and they have a lot of appeal. Never mind most wouldn’t know anything about what is really going on people want to be just like them.
          That’s why people are resistant to change. The more the other side is demonized the less likely people will risk stepping outside approved rules.

    Why are Church leaders in the West so uniformly silent about the Muslim persecution of Christians?

    Our news entertainers are silent because this kind of action has evolved into a new normal, and thus are leaders are silent cuz it’s not in the news cycle and thus is not in the public discourse. So our leaders breath a breath of relief at that, if they’re aware of the ritual murder at all.

    I don’t know which incident actually marked the crossing into new normal, somewhere between the mass decapitation of Christian men on the Libyan beach and the one where they put the Christian men in a cage and slowly drowned them, somewhere about that time. What could be worse? Nothing much. So head chopping this guy for being a Christian is no longer newsworthy.

    Oh, and the intellectual foundation for rendering such news unnewsworthy is ensconced in the meme that these are but a tiny minority of extremists, so while it’s a terrible event it’s nothing we really need to concern ourselves with.

        Just another lie of omission to promote their power and agenda…

        Lie of omission is right. Recall that in 1984 the citizens were constantly bombarded with media, but of a single repetitive theme that left out the real stuff. Now we have the 24/7 news cycle constantly going, including the two Fox RINO channels, and what’s *not* reported is more notable than what is. Propaganda at its best. And on Moslems no less.

        Same tactics used to pass Obamacare and the Iran nuclear deal.

        Did you know that Obamacare was never passed legally? Nancy and Harry used a budget resolution ledgerdemain to purport that it’d been passed. But with Ted Kennedy’s death and replacement by Scott Brown, they were forced to couple a vote made in the House on one version of the bill with a vote made earlier in the Senate on another version. By law a vote by name must be made on a verbatim the same bill. That’s why they have the resolution committee, to resolve differences to get a single bill for a single vote. By law, not that the law matters for much anymore.

        Also, the Iran “deal” was every bit as illegal. A treaty must be voted on by the Senate. With the “deal” started by Hillary and completed by Lurch, it was called an “agreement” to avert requiring a Senate vote. Sadly, most Republican senators went along with this con.

And as to those who believed but did not emigrate (to you O Muhammad SAW), you owe no duty of protection to them until they emigrate, but if they seek your help in religion, it is your duty to help them except against a people with whom you have a treaty of mutual alliance, and Allah is the All-Seer of what you do.

    4: 90. Except those who join a group, between you and whom there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with their breasts restraining from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. Had Allah willed, indeed He would have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they withdraw from you, and fight not against you, and offer you peace, then Allah has opened no way for you against them.
    91. You will find others that wish to have security from you and security from their people. Every time they are sent back to temptation, they yield thereto. If they withdraw not from you, nor offer you peace, nor restrain their hands, take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them. In their case, We have provided you with a clear warrant against them.

    Malik :: Book 44 : Hadith 44.2.2
    PROTECTION OF NON MUSLIM ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MUSLIM:

    9: 6. And if anyone of the Mushrikûn (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) seeks your protection then grant him protection, so that he may hear the Word of Allah (the Qur’ân), and then escort him to where he can be secure, that is because they are men who know not.
    7. How can there be a covenant with Allah and with His Messenger for the Mushrikûn (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) except those with whom you made a covenant near Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (at Makah)? So long, as they are true to you, stand you true to them. Verily, Allah loves Al-Muttaqûn
    Dawud :: Book 19 : Hadith 2955
    Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:
    A son of Adi ibn Adi al-Kindi said that Umar ibn AbdulAziz wrote (to his governors): If anyone asks about the places where spoils (fay’) should be spent, that should be done in accordance with the decision made by Umar ibn al-Khattab (Allah be pleased with him). The believers considered him to be just, according to the saying of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him): Allah has placed truth upon Umar’s tongue and heart. He fixed stipends for Muslims, and provided protection for the people of other religions by levying jizyah (poll-tax) on them, deducting no fifth from it, nor taking it as booty.
    Bukhari :: Book 4 :: Volume 52 :: Hadith 287
    Narrated ‘Amr bin Maimun:
    Umar (after he was stabbed), instructed (his would-be-successor) saying, “I urge him (i.e. the new Caliph) to take care of those non-Muslims who are under the protection of Allah and His Apostle in that he should observe the convention agreed upon with them, and fight on their behalf (to secure their safety) and he should not over-tax them beyond their capability
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 49
    Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr:
    The Prophet said, “Whoever killed a Mu’ahid (a person who is granted the pledge of protection by the Muslims) shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise though its fragrance can be smelt at a distance of forty years (of traveling).”
    Bukhari :: Book 4 :: Volume 53 :: Hadith 404
    25: 63. And the slaves of the Most Beneficent (Allah) are those who walk on the earth in humility and sedateness, and when the foolish address them (with bad words) they reply back with mild words of gentleness.

      Why are Church leaders in the West so uniformly silent about the Muslim persecution of Christians?

      BEC’S CHURCH LEADERS ARE NOT ” BRAIN DEAD FOOL ” LIKE SPENCER,GALLAR (sic) ,ETC…….TO BELIEVE THIS BIG FAT LIE FOR SPREADING ISLAM PHOBIA ,NO EVIDENCE,NO VALID PROOF…….RELIGION OF PEACE(A COWARD ANTI ISLAMIC SITE START THE LYING)
      PROHIBIT KILLING NON MUSLIM WITH PEACE AGREEMENT:
      …………………

      This is simply ludicrous–there are hundreds of stories from reputable sources chronicling the abuse and slaughter of Christians, Yezidis, and other Infidels in the Islamic State.

      Much of this information has come from *ISIS itself*.

      Moreover, sham himself has many times here lauded the Islamic butchering of Infidels. Why would he suddenly stick at this?

      More:

      8: 72. Verily, those who believed, and emigrated and strove hard and fought with their property and their lives in the Cause of Allah as well as those who gave (them) asylum and help, – these are (all) allies to one another. And as to those who believed but did not emigrate (to you O Muhammad SAW), you owe no duty of protection to them until they emigrate, but if they seek your help in religion, it is your duty to help them except against a people with whom you have a treaty of mutual alliance, and Allah is the All-Seer of what you do.
      …………………

      The “Cause of Allah” is violent Jihad. This Ayat confirms that Muslims are to help other Muslims–so long as they are sufficiently pious–but not to help the Infidels.

      More:

      9: 4. Except those of the Mushrikûn with whom you have a treaty, and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor have supported anyone against you. So fulfill their treaty to them to the end of their term. Surely Allah loves Al- Mattaqûn
      …………………

      ISIS has no treaty with the people they are murdering here–they are conquered dhimmis living under Shari’ah law. They have no safeguards at all.

        Catholicism has killed more Jews than the holocaust from the inquisition to the crusades. This religion worships a false god, a dead woman, who is said to have been born without sin, and did not die but ascended and is equal to the Messiah in redemption … she is called the co-redemptress… the pope prays to her and worships her along with the doctrine that teaches against the Word of G-d, Yeshua Himself said none is greater than John the Baptist but catholic doctrine holds this dead woman, whose body is buried in the earth awaiting resurrection, as a god, calling her the queen of heaven which is written that this queen of heaven is pagan idolatry. And Yeshua also said that everyone who does the will of His Father is His brother, sister and mother, thereby destroying catholic doctrine regarding this woman.

          This emphasis on Mary caused Mark Twain to observe in The Innocents Abroad, Volume II:

          In all seriousness—without meaning to be frivolous—without meaning to be irreverent, and more than all, without meaning to be blasphemous—I state as my simple deduction from the things I have seen and the things I have heard, that the Holy Personages rank thus in Rome:

          First—”The Mother of God”—otherwise the Virgin Mary.

          Second—The Deity.

          Third—Peter.

          Fourth—Some twelve or fifteen canonized Popes and martyrs.

          Fifth—Jesus Christ the Savior—(but always as an infant in arms).

          I may be wrong in this—my judgment errs often, just as is the case with other men’s—but it is my judgment, be it good or bad.

          Just here I will mention something that seems curious to me. There are no “Christ’s Churches” in Rome, and no “Churches of the Holy Ghost,” that I can discover. There are some four hundred churches, but about a fourth of them seem to be named for the Madonna and St. Peter. There are so many named for Mary that they have to be distinguished by all sorts of affixes, if I understand the matter rightly.

          Have you ever said it?
          You typically offer an amorphous conglomeration of seeming religiosity with occasional Bible quotes.

          I am a Jew who knows the identity of the Mashiach, Messiah, Israel’s L-rd and soon coming King, Yeshua ha Mashiach.

          I have seen the effects of Catholicism in Israel…how the catholic priests stand with the arabs against Israel and never call Israel by name, and curse Jews saying the land now belongs to them. The pope and the catholic priests refer to Israel as the Holy Land. There was a terrorist operation in Dallas Texas called the Holy Land Foundation which is now defunct at least by that name having been labeled by the U.S. State Department as a terrorist operation.

          Catholicism is diametrically opposite the Word of the L-rd Himself Who said that no one born of women is greater than John the Baptist…..Matthew 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

          Yeshua the L-rd also said that ANYONE who does His Father’s will is the same as His brother, sister, mother (in that order)…..Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

          Mary had four sons and multiple daughters after she gave birth to the Son of G-d. One of the sons has a book called James (Yaacov in Hebrew).

          Catholicism teaches that a man needs to pray to a woman and venerate and praise a woman alongside the Messiah. That is idolatry and an abomination in the sight of G-d….read what G-d says about the queen of heaven…Jeremiah chapter 44

          Huh, you’re aware that the Holy Land Foundation was an islamic “charity”, right? Do you really not see the flimsiness of your “logic”?

          Please google Holy Land Foundation Dallas Texas and please google Mary worship in catholic doctrine so you can learn what is being taught by the catholic religion. Most catholics do not read the bible for themselves but rely solely on the priests to tell them the Word of G-d, NEVER A GOOD IDEA. G-d insists on a personal relationship with each one of us, not through a third party, but eye to eye and nose to nose conversation.

          Please study the Word of G-d and then look at the doctrines of Catholicism. You will see how blatantly wrong it is to teach to pray to a dead woman and to pray to the dead for the dead is unreal…Yeshua said to the man who asked to be released to bury his father… Let the dead bury the dead….All who follow any teaching apart from the Word of G-d are dead both now and forever….come out of this false religion and see for yourself what G-d says…read His Words

          Two commandments catholicism breaks in the below statement, 1) have no contact with the dead…Deuteronomy 18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or one who consults the dead. 2) do not pray TO anyone except G-d…John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, except through me.

          For there is one God, and there is ONE MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all. (1 Timothy 2:5-6)

          BUT catholic doctrine teaches: Although Jesus Christ is the sole mediator between God and man, that doesn’t preclude others (including Mary) from being involved in a subordinate mediation, or intercession

          CATHOLIC DOCTRINE IS DIRECTLY AGAINST YESHUA’S OWN WORDS….DO NOT PRAY TO THE DEAD OR PRAY TO ANYONE EXCEPT G-D.

          I’m well aware of the Holy Land Foundation. It was an islamic “charity” organization shutdown because islamic “charity” involves giving money to terrorists. One of the documents captured was the famous “Strategic Memorandum” that talked about “destroying the West from within”. What I don’t get is why you’re trying to link the HLF with Catholicism based on the name alone. Is Catholicism the only religious sect that refers to that area of the map as “Holy Land”?

          “please google Mary worship in catholic doctrine so you can learn what is being taught by the catholic religion”

          Or I could look for a Catholic clergyman and ask him.

          “You will see how blatantly wrong it is to teach to pray to a dead woman”

          You don’t like Catholicism. I get it. You don’t have to like it, and for all I care you don’t need to have a reason not to like it. For all that’s worth, Catholics (and I’m guessing other Christian denominations) don’t pray to dead people because they believe them to be alive in Heaven. Whatever religious denomination you follow may teach differently, but that’s how they see it.

          Everything I know about G-d is in His Word. He is not a religion. He is a Man and His Word is your Judge, not me. It is written: You shall have no contact with the dead. It is forbidden by G-d Himself.

          Deuteronomy 18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or one who consults the dead.

          Everyone who dies is buried in the earth awaiting the resurrection, while the spirit of that person returns to G-d for judgment.

      You say you are a Jew? Perhaps a Jew for Jesus. I do not recall the following being part of the Old Testament, the Tanach, Mishnah or Kaballah. Mathew and John the Baptist are not part of my religion. The Messiah will be born of woman and from the House of David. You should perhaps refer to yourself as Mishmosh shosh.

      “the Word of the L-rd Himself Who said that no one born of women is greater than John the Baptist…..Matthew 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” Puhleeze!

    The savagery of Muslims do not shock people who know the TRUTH about Islam and Muslims. People do not need to hear the warning about Islam from Trump, Cruz or anyone. All they need to do is look at what has been happening in Europe with the invasion of Muslims into the various countries. Muslims will not assimilate into the American culture and Sharia Law is not compatible with the US Constitution. Islam is a political and military system masquerading as a religion. Muslims can lie to the infidel to promote Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood calls for a “Civilization-Jihadist Process,” in which they would destroy the Western civilization from within. They said they would use the Constitution against the US to further their agenda. Their goal is World Islam. Muslims believe the infidels will have to convert to Islam, be enslaved or be killed. They state, we do not want to democratize Islam, we want to Islamize democracy. That is what we want. “We Will Raise The Flag Of Allah In The White House” I believe it has already been raised from the actions of Barack Hussein Obama as president and his Muslim Brotherhood advisers. Their prophet Mohammed was a pedophile rapist and mass murderer. And they will try to push Sharia law if the American people do not wake up. Again, Islam is not compatible with the US Constitution and the American culture.

    This photo is extremely disturbing to me not only for the horrific event about to take place, of a Christian Priest, but also the crowd…to stand and watch…although that is not limited to the middle east….I think the level of insensitivity or fear is information. I am sure all of those watching were armed, unless they were part of the church….what a horrible event to witness. The witnessing of the tolerance of freedom of religion after populations growth allowed intolerance to be commonplace since it was commanded by doctrine only found in the religion of no peace.
