Ahmad al-Mohammed and one other of the jihadis who murdered 130 people in Paris in November 2015 had just entered Europe as refugees.
In February 2015, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. And the Lebanese Education Minister said in September 2015 that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country. Meanwhile, 80% of migrants who have come to Europe claiming to be fleeing the war in Syria aren’t really from Syria at all.
So why are they claiming to be Syrian and streaming into Europe, and now the U.S. as well? An Islamic State operative gave the answer when he boasted in September 2015, shortly after the migrant influx began, that among the flood of refugees, 4,000 Islamic State jihadis had already entered Europe. He explained their purpose: “It’s our dream that there should be a caliphate not only in Syria but in all the world, and we will have it soon, inshallah.” These Muslims were going to Europe in the service of that caliphate: “They are going like refugees,” he said, but they were going with the plan of sowing blood and mayhem on European streets. As he told this to journalists, he smiled and said, “Just wait.”
This is what the Pope is trying to shame Europeans into accepting. This is what the Pope is trying to make Europeans feel guilty for being concerned about.
The Pope and the Catholic Church are aiding and abetting the destruction of Europe and of Judeo-Christian civilization. And woe to you if you dare dissent from this view: the Catholic hierarchy enforces lockstep on the idea that Islam is a Religion of Peace and the Muslim migrants are harmless refugees much more rigidly than it does its own stated dogmas.
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)
“Pope rebukes ‘weary’ Europe, says migrants not criminals,” by Philip Pullella, Reuters, May 6, 2016:
VATICAN CITY, May 6 (Reuters) – Pope Francis on Friday lamented a Europe he said had grown “weary” and “entrenched”, and urged the continent not to see migrants as criminals.
Francis made his pointed comments in the presence of top EU leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi and the presidents of the European Parliament, Commission and Council.
“What has happened to you, the Europe of humanism, the champion of human rights, democracy and freedom? What has happened to you, Europe, the home of poets, philosophers, artists, musicians, and men and women of letters?” he asked.
“What has happened to you, Europe, the mother of peoples and nations, the mother of great men and women who upheld, and even sacrificed their lives for, the dignity of their brothers and sisters?”
The pope was speaking at a ceremony in the Vatican’s frescoed Sala Regia to award him the Charlemagne Prize, conferred annually by the German city of Aachen to those who have contributed most to the ideals of post-war Europe….
Francis called Europe “weary, yet still rich in energies and possibilities” and said it was “increasingly entrenched, rather than open to initiating new social processes capable of engaging all individuals and groups in the search for new and productive solutions to current problems.”
The Argentine, the first non-European pope in 1,300 years, said desire for European unity “seems to be fading” and that “those who consider putting up fences” were betraying the dream of the founders of a modern Europe.
“I dream of a Europe that cares for children, that offers fraternal help to the poor and those newcomers seeking acceptance because they have lost everything and need shelter … I dream of a Europe where being a migrant is not a crime,” he said.
Addressing the pope, European Parliament President Martin Schulz said the migrant crisis represented “a defining challenge for Europe.”…
That it is, indeed. But not in the way that Schulz thinks.

mortimer says
Agreeing that Muslims differ in their COMMITMENT to the doctrine, but they do not disagree on matters of IDEOLOGY. All Muslims realize what the IDEOLOGY of JIHAD demands from them, even though they do not follow it. They all know what Sharia law demands of them, even if they do not make the effort to PRACTICE it.
35% of Muslims aren’t practicing Islam, but are afraid verbally or visibly to separate from it. About 40% of Muslims verbally and visibly identify with Islam, but deny it in practice. Only about 15% are practicing Muslims. About one Muslim in six supports terrorism and one Muslim in 3,000 to 6,000 is an actual terrorist.

mortimer’s stats depend on reading minds — Muslim minds. That is, if the stats want to be certain. Or they can depend on superficial criteria (= that Muslim isn’t exploding, therefore he must be “lax”… etc.) and/or polls & surveys: Polltaker: Do you believe in jihad? Muslim: “Islam is a religion of beace, I only do beaceful things, my family is beaceful, everything is nice and lovely, I love the USA…!” etc.
Such stats are elaborate ways of playing Muslim Roulette with our lives, and the lives of our friends, family, and fellow citizens.

aDhimmiSaysWhat? says
I don’t like the modern context of the word ‘radicalized’. It gets thrown around like it’s something that just happens to muslims through no fault of their own. It’s always somebody else’s fault. Some ‘radical’ imam did it. Or they fell under the spell of their ‘radicalized’ friends.
When will the western world wake up and realize that all this sickness comes directly from the Koran and the hadiths?
They haven’t been ‘radicalized’. They simply took the time to truly understand their religion and take it to heart. These are true believers we’re dealing with here. As long as there is a Koran, and muslims follow it’s creed, you will always get some ‘radicalized’ muslims. You can go from truly peaceful muslim parents who teach kindness to their children, to their muslim son who might one day take islamic doctrine to heart and become a terrorist. (I am thinking of Maajid Nawaz as a good example).
They are not ‘radicals’. They are just extremely devout.
Sandra Lee Smith says
Agreed. In other religions they would be the orthodox practitioners, not “radicals”. And so they are in Islam too. Except most orthodox religious folks aren’t out sawing off heads with dull pocket knives, or tossing homosexuals off tall buildings or stoning women for any number of excuses. Islam itself is the root of the problem, and a cancer in humanity that must be excised!

It appears that the Vatican is blackmailed into taking these nonsensical positions.
These dhimmi popes are used to paying Jizya for centuries.
Cynthia in California says
I doubt that Pope Benedict XVI paid jizya, or that anyone would have had the…um…absolute nerve…to expect him to. See his Regensburg lecture of 12 September 2006–if you can find it!–wherein he quoted Byzantine Emperor Michael Paleologus, that Islam stood in opposition to Christianity and that Mohammed had added nothing to the value of human civilization.
“Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached” (copy-pasted from Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regensburg_lecture
Some people have believed that the Regensburg lecture was THE long-term, behind-the-scenes reason for His Holiness’s unexpected resignation on 28 February 2013, rather than his health and age.
mortimer says
Agree with Cynthia’s well-written post. Pope Benedict dropped over the target and the church was taking flak for it. He raised the issues of jihad and Islamic obscurantism. Dead on.
Benedict argued that if God exists, he is necessarily a god of reason who uses reason to convince people of the right behavior and belief. Islam uses violence to convince people, but their argumentum ad baculum (jihad) is entirely fallacious because it isn’t even an ‘argument’, but a threat. It’s a pity Benedict didn’t focus on that and leave out the quote from Palaeologos. Some Muslims might have even started to consider his point which is philosophically powerful. Islam, on the other hand, tells its followers not to use their large, functioning brain to discover the truth, but suppress their own, and other’s, critical thought.
The stupid Muslim reaction to criticism is almost always “If you say Islam is violent, we’ll kill you”…thus proving Islam truly is violent, as well as obscurantist.

Myxlplik says
Europe isn’t against “migrants”, just look at the polling. Europe has come to realize that Islam is against (read at war with) it, and is a cultural anathema to Western values. It just so happens to be that most of the migrants are Muslim, so the Pope is playing word games to make it seem like this rejection is race related.
Sandra Lee Smith says
Bingo!
Cynthia in California says
“The Argentine, the first non-European pope in 1,300 years,…” and probably the last. Although Msgr. Bergoglio’s parents were Italians, he himself was raised from childhood by his Italian parents in Argentina, a country whose experience with immigration is small-scale. Most people who emigrate to Argentina are educated and have professional-level skills; they’re not country folk, farmers and the like, who may need education and other social services before they become contributing members of Argentinian society.
But “farmers and the like” are orders of magnitude BETTER than the layabouts/slackers/terrorists sent on hijra: the Muslim invaders do no work, they live like parasites on the host societies in which they’re implanted, and are on a mission to destroy it from within. Farmers are good, honest, hard-working people; it’s just that, in most Third-World countries, they’re also illiterate and un- or under-educated.
Msgr. B clearly hasn’t looked out of his aerie recently to see the masses of Islamic, pro-Caliphate humanity pouring into Europe in the guise of “migrants.”
The only good part of this entire discussion is that most of the mainstream press now refers to these Islamic invaders as “migrants” rather than “refugees.” Maybe because more of them have invaded Europe than there were people in Syria to begin with?
Fessitude says
“The Argentine, the first non-European pope in 1,300 years,…” and probably the last.
Actually, a black African Cardinal, Cardinal Robert Sarah of Guinea, is a hot contender for the next Papacy:
http://chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/articolo/1351022?eng=y
Unfortunately, he seems to have PC MC and/or dhimmi reflexes about Islam:
[Cardinal Sarah] compared the twin challenges of “the idolatry of Western freedom” and Islamic fundamentalism to two “apocalyptic beasts.”
http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/cardinal-sarah-says-the-christian-family-counters-both-islamic-western-extremism-26500/
Interviewer: In Europe, the spread of Islam and its radicalization cause concern. You who come from a predominantly Muslim country where Christians and Muslims live in peace, and speak of Islam as “a religion of peace and brotherhood,” what are your feelings on this?
Cardinal Sarah: Where does our fear come from? Islam has been present in Europe for a long time and no one has ever been afraid of it. It is true that there were fewer Muslims. But at the time, faith was stronger. Also, the sense of threat did not exist or only marginally. In Guinea, the population is 5% Catholic and 73% Muslim. But we are not afraid of each other. Instead, we stimulate each other through fidelity to our faith. Seeing the Muslims, for whom the importance of prayer and direct communication with God is essential, Christians must ask themselves: I believe in the true God, manifested through Christ: am I as fervent as the Muslims are? Do I fast? God is not someone with whom you are in contact occasionally, when you have time. He must be the first: in the family, in society … All Christians are called to increase their relationship with Him. Prayer is also necessary, on both sides, for everyone to live in peace.

“What has happened to you, the Europe of humanism, the champion of human rights, democracy and freedom? What has happened to you, Europe, the home of poets, philosophers, artists, musicians, and men and women of letters?” he asked
Dear Pope Francis,
The answer your Popeness, is that your Islamic immigrants are destroying all of that with your own personal encouragement and cooperation. Islam is one sick cult and it has no use for art, music, philosophy or learning outside of what is dictated by the Koran. The sons and daughters of Islam, including your favored immigrant member adherents, are killing your Catholics and Christians and you do nothing, nothing at all, about it. While whining about the West, you turn both blind eyes to rape, murder, maiming, theft and destruction of property in the name of Islam. Islam is the destroyer of other religions, but you acquiesce. Why are you not railing against Saudi Arabia and the other oil rich gulf states for not taking any immigrants or refugees? Read your own scripture. There are none so blind as he who will not see and none so deaf as he who will not hear.
Salome says
Right on, Bill! I had just copied that paragraph with a view to replying to it along the line of ‘Europe has been busy importing vast hordes of people who are directly inimical to all of those things.’ But you took the words out of my mouth.
Jay Boo says
Nil Bill
Not buying it.
When Bill says — “Catholics and Christians ”
It takes away from his credibility.
Bill gives the false impression that he is attacking Pope Francis.
If Bill wishes to claim that Catholicism is not Christian He should make that argument rather than weaseling it in.
I do not know if Bill is an atheist but this is a (very common tactic) among anti-Christian atheists to attempt to divide Christians.
Sibila says
By saying “(pope’s darlings are destroying properties, attacking and killing) Catholics and Christians” Bill is possibly underlying pope’s blindness and passiveness on continuous exodus not only of Christians (Coptic and Protestant) but of (Rome’s) Catholics too. And, instead of sending the crusaders down there to protect them, or even raising his voice and shading (any) light onto that cataclysmic fact, the pope is locking his head with the destroyers of (Christian) Europe.
Pope Francis probably has and he obviously does suffer from some kind of animosity towards ‘Mother Europe’. He married that together with his love in Jesus who died equally for everyone and who shines His light equally onto everyone no matter Gentile or Christian.
Pope Francis is no different than apostle Peter who loved Jesus and who suffered from his human condition of having difficulties from growing out from himself and from putting himself first and in front of Everything. Pope Francis *is* crafting all those worldly awards and flashy world prizes, which in the end passes by to his Bride – the Church.
Thanks Goodness, in the end of a day the Holy Spirit fixes everything up and turns into His glory. OLE!! (only Love exists!)

Angemon says
Dear Usurper In The Vatican:
Being a migrant is not a crime. Throughout European history, especially in the past 5 or 6 decades, Europeans have moved around from one country to another in search of a better life, personal satisfaction or simply a new personal challenge. Entering a country illegally, or even by force, however, is a crime. A nation can not be a nation unless they can exert some sort of control over their borders and decide who can and can not cross them. I would advise you to take a look at the history of your predecessors – by which I mean the rightful ones – and see for yourself what they made of it. Take for example Pope Leo I. He met Atilla the Hun and persuaded him to turn back. He didn’t try to shame his countrymen into letting Atilla go unchecked into Italy. Or Pope Pius V, who arranged the creation of the Holy League to fight against an invading force that wanted to conquer Europe. He didn’t try to shame his coreligionists into willingly allow Ottoman troops to do as they please.
Yours truly,
Angemon.
P.S.: I heard there’s plenty of room in the Vatican. St. Peter’s square is a really big place. I suggest you start by tearing down the walls that keep you safe, take in as many people as you can possibly take in and lead by example.

“…..the first non-European pope in 1,300 years, said desire for European unity “seems to be fading” and that “those who consider putting up fences” were betraying the dream of the founders of a modern Europe…..”
Wrong. The original idea behind the EEC (as it was) was to be a free-trade area between consenting sovereign States, not the undemocratic monolithic abortion that it has become. The reasoning was simple. The various European countries were far too entrenched in their separate cultural identities and the various economies did not match. This has all become abundantly clear as time went by.
“I dream of a Europe that cares for children, that offers fraternal help to the poor and those newcomers seeking acceptance because they have lost everything and need shelter … I dream of a Europe where being a migrant is not a crime,” he said.
Well, Europe is supposed to look after its OWN children – and its OWN adults – first.
And what a nice idea that these lovely ‘newcomers’ are all ‘seeking acceptance’ – except that’s exactly what they’re NOT doing. To be blunt, they’re just on the scrounge and apparently seem to think that they have some divine right to anything and everything they choose. Also their well-documented disgusting behaviour is not exactly what one expects from people ‘seeking acceptance’; in fact, their behaviour has done everything to militate AGAINST their acceptance. Furthermore, we would only have some duty to recompense them for losses if WE had caused their losses. We haven’t. They have sustained losses because they collectively can’t behave themselves, and therefore they and only they (collectively) are liable. And lastly, being a migrant has never been a crime, so long as it is done legally and properly according to the laws and regulations of the places to which they want to migrate. With these ‘migrants (or ‘refugees’ as they like to be known), they are trying to enter and occupy other peoples’ territories without permission. This would be correctly termed ‘invasion’ or ‘trespass’ which is illegal. So they ARE, in fact, criminals.

I think this drama queen in white has gotten too used to his new palace, he’s forgotten what the real world is like. Let him open up the Vatican to the immigrant hoard, then preach his doctrine of unconditional love. He dreams of a Europe where being an immigrant is not a crime, we dream of a Europe where they stop committing crime. We want our neighborhoods back from these islamic conquerors, our families safe from muslim rapists, and to live free of the demonic-culture-destroying-threat that islam truly is. This pope isn’t a “peacemaker” he’s a troublemaker!
Seriously, this disgusts me. If he wants to make a plea for compassion that’s one thing. But he has no business shaming Europeans en masse because they refuse to commit suicide for islamic invaders. I wonder how judgmental he’d be if there were 50,000 hungry, horny, muslims in St. Peter’s Square, robbing tourists, sexually molesting, and holding signs that read, “We will take over!” I bet he’d be dreaming a far less noble dream than the one he has now.

Mark A says
I’m Catholic and I have a few questions for Pope Francis.
Your Holiness, what do you think will happen when Muslims are a majority in Europe, a situation some expect to happen within 20-30 years?
Do you think a Muslim majority in Europe will tolerate the Vatican and the open practice of Catholicism in Europe? What is the Church’s current position on dhimmi status and the payment of jizya to Muslims by Jews and Christians?
Will the Church accept Islamic law which says the Christians and Jews are not allowed to maintain existing churches or build new ones?
If I was to be offered the three choices offered Jews and Christians under Sura 9 of the Koran, i.e. convert to Islam, pay jizya and accept dhimmi status or die, what is the Church’s position if I should choose none of the above and take up arms?
I’m not willing to passively allow some Muslim fanatic to hack off my head if I refuse the three options under Sura 9. Is my attitude a problem in your view?
If a Muslim majority in Europe imposed dhimmi status or death on Europeans who refuse to convert to Islam, does the doctrine of just war apply to those of us who would take up arms to resist?
I have many other questions on this topic as well but, for starters, let’s go with these ones.
Kepha says
Gotta hand it to this Pope. He supports migration regardless of what it brings. consistency! I have the sneaky suspicion that the Catholic Bishops Conference here in the USA would be singing a different tune about immigration if Mexicans and Central Americans were all hard-core No-Popery Presbyterians of the Ulster stripe who were teaching themselves English by assiduously comparing Cassiodoro de la Reina’s version of the Bible with that of King James.

Adolph Joseph Paffen says
I am an educated devote Catholic, but I must say there is something very wrong with Pope Frances no Catholic has any business celebrating his papacy. In truth I do not even think he is Catholic or a Christian of any kind, he seems to me to be an apostate. So, it is very questionable if the Catholic Church even has a Pope at this time in history, certainly his voice should mean nothing to faithful and good Catholics he either has lost the papacy through apostasy or it is totally irrelevant to faithful Catholics, he is just an embarrassment to Holy Mother Church! The Cardinals are losing their credibility more and more every day they allow him to occupy the Vatican. This Pope/Anti-pope seems more interested in being the head of religions than the Catholic Church anyway so maybe we should give him to the Moslems to be the Caliph of their religion that way he could do something useful for us help destroy Islam forever, and we could have a Pope that actually will strengthen the Catholic Church and be of service to all Christians.
Pope Frances, does not care about rape and murder etc that Moselms commit so let us not be worried about his moralizing his morality is in no way Christian. The Vatican and the cardinals have not shown themselves as faithful good Catholics as they almost never defend the Catholic position on any issue, hmm, Catholic will have to start studying their religion and think more for themselves, or their religion will disappear from the earth, the hierarchy of today will only lead you to Hell, both in this life and in the next. Study the Scriptures, the Catechism, the fathers the ecumenical councils the 2nd Vatican Council is the least important of these as it does not speak with authority. God prepare us for the war that is coming!
