Jihad Watch

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

Muslim refugee brought to Maine by Catholic Charities dies waging jihad for the Islamic State

Aug 16, 2016 6:46 pm By Robert Spencer

Catholic Charities is criminally irresponsible and suicidally short-sighted. They are endangering people in Maine and all over the United States by bringing these jihadis into American communities that are unprepared for them, all the while lying to them and telling them that there is no jihad threat related to the refugees, and that anyone who says otherwise is a racist and a bigot and a dissenter from the magisterium.

Adnan Fazeli went to the Islamic State to wage his jihad. What if he had decided to wage it right there in Portland, Maine? What’s to stop the next jihadi refugee that Catholic Charities brings to Portland from deciding to do just that?

Islamic State

“Documents: Freeport man died fighting for Islamic State,” by Scott Dolan and Megan Doyle, Portland Press Herald, August 16, 2016:

An Iranian man who came to Maine as a refugee in 2009 became radicalized in his Islamic faith while living here and was fighting for the Islamic State when he was killed last year in Lebanon, according to newly unsealed federal court documents.

Adnan Fazeli, 38, most recently of Freeport, came under investigation by the FBI for his connection to the terrorist group shortly after he left his job at Dubai Auto in Portland to fly to Turkey on Aug. 13, 2013, and never returned.

Fazeli, who also went by the names Abu Nawaf and Abu Abdullah Al-Ahwazi, was killed on Jan. 23, 2015, in a battle near Ras Baalbek in Lebanon as part of an Islamic State attack force of about 150 that was thwarted by the Lebanese army.

Those details, which were never revealed publicly before, were contained in an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Portland last Oct. 27 by Maine State Police Detective George Loder, who was acting as a member of an FBI task force investigating whether other people were aware of Fazeli’s plans to fight for the Islamic State, helped him travel to the Iraq-Syria-Lebanon area or supported his efforts there. The affidavit remained under seal during the investigation, which ended with no criminal charges.

The affidavit gives the accounts of four anonymous informants for the FBI who described how Fazeli’s behavior began to change about a year after he came to the Portland area through Catholic Charities Refugee and Immigration Services. They told the FBI that Fazeli frequently watched hours of Islamic videos online, grew a beard and began making anti-American remarks while at an Iraqi market in Portland.

While the informants are not named in the affidavit, Fazeli’s nephew, Ebrahim Fazeli, told the Portland Press Herald on Monday that he informed the FBI about his uncle after Adnan Fazeli called the family from Turkey. The affidavit describes one of the informants as a close relative of Fazeli’s.

“Fazeli’s change in behavior alienated him from many of his Shia and moderate Sunni friends in the area. However, there were a few local Sunnis who supported his fervor and treated him with a great deal of respect. Fazeli started holding occasional religious meetings at his home in Freeport,” Loder said in the affidavit, describing what one informant had said.

Ebrahim Fazeli, 25, said the family was unaware of his uncle’s plans to leave the United States. His uncle had become more religious and grew a substantial beard, but the nephew said no one realized he had become radicalized.

“That wasn’t enough for me to think an educated, smart guy has it in him to join an insane group of people,” said Ebrahim Fazeli, who lives in the Greater Portland area….

Fazeli initially came to the United States as a refugee in 2009, but did not adapt well. He told one informant that he hated Iran because the government was anti-Sunni and felt the United States had done nothing to help. Although Fazeli was raised a Shia Muslim, his family was not devout, one of the informants said. His behavior began to change while in the U.S., and he converted to Wahhabism, an austere form of Sunni Islam….

While Fazeli was abroad, he continued to communicate by Skype chats with at least one of the informants, who later shared videos of the chats with FBI investigators. In one video, Fazeli said that he and his Islamic State allies could kill 1,000 enemies for every 10 of their own killed. In another video, he wore a khaki camouflage military uniform and inquired whether any U.S. government authorities had begun asking questions about him….

Fazeli’s relative called the FBI on Jan. 26, 2015, to report that Fazeli had been killed, according to the affidavit. The same relative emailed a copy of a news article in Arabic from the Lebanese newspaper An-Nahar to the FBI on Jan. 28, 2015, that describes how “tens” of ISIS fighters were killed in a clash in Ras Baalbek, a Lebanese Christian town near the Syrian border threatened by both the Islamic State and al-Qaida in Syria. The article listed one of the dead as Abu Abdullah Al-Ahwazi, Fazeli’s other name….

Jalali said Fazeli self-identified as Arab, not Iranian, because he came from the southern and western part of Iran. In Maine, he mingled primarily with Iraqis.

“He talked about enjoying religious freedom here. That’s why I am so shocked,” Jalali said. “He praised this society for its openness.

“How he could go through that transformation, that’s a mystery. That’s quite heartbreaking. It reminds us of the power of social media, brainwashing bright, educated men and turn them into fighters or killers.”…

The medium is not the problem. The message is the problem. This is not a story about the power of social media. It is a story about the power of Islam’s call to jihad.

      It is the State that is planting muslim “seed communities”all over USA.
      The Federal Government employs these charities as PAID CONTRACTORS.
      The “refugees” are selected by the UN (Islam dominated).
      The “charities”are allowing their bodies to be used for cash, like prostitutes.

        I expect our Muslim president will call to the nation to lower to half mast the American flag to respect Abu Abdullah Al-Ahwazi Fazeli. Has Abu Abdullah Al-Ahwazi, Fazeli’s family received the American taxpayers compensation package Kahn’s family received? The check is in the mail. Perhaps the charity organization CAIR will get a sample for potentially keeping an eye out for Islamophobia. Abu Abdullah Al-Ahwazi Fazeli as a refugee, no doubt and an American citizen died for our Muslim president’s Muslim Brotherhood. Abu Abdullah Al-Ahwazi Fazeli deserves to receive the Gold Star Family award and the 71 virgin blow up dolls Allah promised through Mohammad and Obama. See if this gets through the filtered Democrat news media in Maine or any other news media in the country.

        Religious charities Have always helped those in need whatever the need msy be
        and that is the problem They did not really understand what was really at the center of the Muslim migrant movement ..They were thinking of REFUGEE placement but in the case of the Muslims …Refugees…..Migrants… was far from REFUGEES of the past..

        AMerica has always been the “Catcher” for most of, if not al,l the refugees of the world. But this time there is a big difference…These peoples are a different cut…They won’t assimilate and will,as proven world wide, try to impose their government and religious (which are one and the same) ways upon the body country.

        Of course migration is one part of the Islamic globalization of the world and what really bothers me here is the fact that either our so called leaders did not know about this strategy or were complicit in it??????????

    What’s to stop the next jihadi refugee that Catholic Charities brings to Portland from deciding to do just that?

    • Saleem Smith says

      Aug 17, 2016 at 1:52 am

      Dire indeed. And if only 1% of the Muslims now “emigrating” to the West are willing to “go jihad” for Islam the situation would be dire.

      But the percentage of committed jihadis to be found amongst the “Syrian refugees” is likely even higher that 1%, considering the many unambiguous instructions to violent jihad that are contained within the Quran and Mohammad’s Sunnah.

      Sadly there may well be tens of thousands of Sharia and ISIS supporting Muslims now entering Western countries. And that does not even take into account the “nominal Muslims” who support jihad and Islamization financially or otherwise already living in the West and other non-Islamic societies.

      We ex-Muslims know that Muhammad the prophet of Islam was an evil psychopath, and unfortunately the Quran says that Muhammad is the model man for Muslims to emulate.

      Qur’an, 033:021:

      “There is a good example in God’s apostle for those of you who look to God and the Last Day and remember God always.”

      Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:

      “One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…

      The statement continues,

      Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

        Exactly. Based upon the archeological evidence, Mohammad was not the originator of Islam. It more likely was Malik, the fifth Umayyad caliph in Damascus who wanted to emulate the “people of the book,” Jews and mostly Christians, and create a rival religion.

    The Catholic Church is in a wild death-spiral under this anti-Pope. It extends all the way through to Catholic Charities which should be only about doing good, but is now advancing the evil of Islam. How many more cases are there like this or similar to this that we don’t know about yet?

          Ever bother to ask for their annual report to get an idea where the money goes? No, I didn’t think so, it would ruin your argument and you’d have to strain to find another angle to criticize the only Church established by Christ that simply cannot be destroyed. The world has tried and tried and tried, and we inside have done the same by our rampant sins, yet the Church will not go away

          Why?

          Christ promised it:

          7:24. Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,

          7:25. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.

          7:26. And every one that heareth these my words and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,

          7:27. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.

          There we see the vast disparity of the PROTESTant sects, 58,000 + of them, not one of which can agree with the next but each depends upon their own unique interpretation of Holy Writ, in violation of 2nd Peter:

          1:16. For we have not by following artificial fables made known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ: but we were eyewitnesses of his greatness.

          1:17. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him.

          1:18. And this voice, we heard brought from heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.

          1:19. And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts.

          1:20. Understanding this first: That no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation.

          No prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation… This shows plainly that the scriptures are not to be expounded by any one’s private judgment or private spirit, because every part of the holy scriptures were written by men inspired by the Holy Ghost, and declared as such by the Church; therefore they are not to be interpreted but by the Spirit of God, which he hath left, and promised to remain with his Church to guide her in all truth to the end of the world. Some may tell us, that many of our divines interpret the scriptures: they may do so, but they do it always with a submission to the judgment of the Church, and not otherwise.

          1:21. For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost.

          But you will not hear, will you?

    Has Catholic Charities ever helped a Catholic or Christian? I never thought that they were ever interested in Christianity,because all their clients were of other faiths. We volunteered, but is was run as a business. When you see the sign, I used to think that their office would help me, if needed. No Way, they’re in it for the Big Bucks. Islam has given a new life to Catholic Charities.

      Of course they have. Right now, they are doing relief work in the wake of the flooding in southern Louisiana. Louisiana is majority-Christian.

    For me and many others “I am my brothers keeper”. There are no atheists in a foxhole. This pope however is a robotised socialist.
    Too bad for Fazeli it looks like he got the 1000:1 kill ratio backward.

    “he hated Iran because the government was anti-Sunni and felt the United States had done nothing to help.”
    Besides proving Fazeli with a job and a place of peace and prosperity to live while George Washington and TJ roll in their graves over this flood of barbarians.

    Too many ungrateful Muslims hold this attitude and indeed do not acclimate well and go the way of the fundamentalist. Even their children will (Omar Mateen).

    This is all just getting started and the CC is going to instigate our government to continue the influx of refugees without pause and without looking at what is causing the problem.

    I’m getting tired of the Catholic Church real quick like, as here illustrated by Catholic Charities. Over the past half century or so it has been on a downhill slide, with such travesties as Vatican II (thanks for nothing Pope John XXIII for trying to fix something which wasn’t broken), the egregious and stupid cover-up of the many sex scandals, the mediocrities or worse taken into the priesthood, and fools like Monsignor Swetland and Pope Francis making not just erroneous but irresponsibly dangerous comments about Islam. Glad I’m not a Catholic of the old school type because it would break my heart to see what has happened to the Church.

      Well, I AM a Catholic of the old school type, Wellington, and it HAS broken my heart … for the last 40 years. (Thank you, at least, for the expression of sympathy … I think that was.)

      My small consolation is that our Lord doesn’t call on us to be victorious, but to be faithful and persevere to the end. He has already won the victory … as His foes will discover, to their regret. Poor stiffs don’t realize they are fighting a losing battle.

      • mortimer says

        Aug 17, 2016 at 9:20 am

        The point is, Frank, that no pope has authority to define matters outside his competence. Only Al Azhar University can define Islam for 90% of Muslims. Francis has no right to tell Muslims what they believe. They are disgusted with his ‘arrogance’ and ‘impudence’ at telling Muslims what they ‘really’ believe. What? Muslims don’t understand jihad? Puh-lease.

      A true Catholic doesn’t lose hope over what this or that Catholic or non Catholic says or doesnt say, does or doesn’t do. The deposit of faith Jesus left with His Catholic Church will prevail against the gates of Hell. Take comfort in that promise by Jesus and see him in the Eucharist which will give you a joyful heart.

    Muslim refugee brought to Maine by Catholic Charities dies waging jihad for the Islamic State
    ……………………….

    Suicidal madness. The next “Adnan Fazeli” may indeed slaughter Americans in his Jihad.

    More:

    Fazeli, who also went by the names Abu Nawaf and Abu Abdullah Al-Ahwazi…
    ……………………….

    “Abu Nawaf” means “father of lofty aims”; “Al-Ahwazi” means from the city of Ahwaz (or Ahvaz) in far-western Iran–so, roughly, “father of the slaves to Allah (or pious Jihadists) of Ahwaz”.

    There is a large population of Sunnis there, which probably explains why an Iranian–Iran is majority-Shia–would join the Sunni Islamic State.

    More:

    Ebrahim Fazeli, 25, said the family was unaware of his uncle’s plans to leave the United States. His uncle had become more religious and grew a substantial beard…
    ……………………….

    When is this *not* a bad sign for a Muslim?

    More:

    Fazeli’s relative called the FBI on Jan. 26, 2015, to report that Fazeli had been killed, according to the affidavit. The same relative emailed a copy of a news article in Arabic from the Lebanese newspaper An-Nahar to the FBI on Jan. 28, 2015, that describes how “tens” of ISIS fighters were killed in a clash in Ras Baalbek, a Lebanese Christian town near the Syrian border threatened by both the Islamic State and al-Qaida in Syria…
    ……………………….

    While Fazeli may have said early on that his concerns were over Iranian mistreatment of Sunnis, clearly by this point he was was targeting Christians–people very like those who had charitably helped him settle in the United States.

    Did Fazeli murder any Christians in Ras Baalbek? We will probably never know–but if he *did*, he was unwittingly aided in this by the well-meaning but willfully clueless Infidels at Catholic Charities.

      Our Muslim president and Hillary doesn’t give a crap about what the American people want or need. These refugees are registered democrats and are ready to vote for Hillary, thanks to our Muslim president and his executive order. Also, these Muslims do not have to pledge allegiance to America per executive order, another religious exemption. This is not Taqiyya. This is all fact. We need to press congress to enact billing that would let the Muslim culture enjoy some other status instead of the religious definition and exemption. A vote for Hillary is enabling more of the refugee infiltration for the purposes of putting Hillary in office so Obama can complete his legacy. The American people have a traitor in the oval office and congress fails to do their duty. Also, Hillary has broken so many rules of trust. Hillary will say and do anything to secure the oval office as the first women president. There are many other well qualified women ready for the oval office. I would not have a problem trusting and voting for them. For now we have to vote for Trump, at least he has a heart and cares for the American people and the constitution. Trump will have no problem putting his hand on the bible and swearing to the real oath of office without religious exemption, as the founding fathers intended. God Bless America and the Ten Commandments.

      5:45. That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust.

      5:46. For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the publicans this?

      The publicans… These were the gatherers of the public taxes: a set of men, odious and infamous among the Jews, for their extortions and injustice.

      5:47. And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more? do not also the heathens this?

      5:48. Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect.

        I should add that the hate towards Pope Francis is a reflection of the hater. Good people try meet other people of differing faiths and even those of the same faith where that person is at spiritually and then build from their place. Say what you want about how the Pope or anyone is trying to reach out to Muslims is wrong but then add how you will reach out to Muslims. If it’s hate and isolation then I doubt you will convert anyone. In the end, the only one that can change hearts and minds is Jesus Christ. I too am disgusted with Islam and those MuSlimes that force their satanic cult from the vile prophet Muhamned on others. But this is why I’ll never be Pope, a saint or one that wins the heart of a Muslim.

        I pray we all find a way to end Islam but it won’t be by hate, war and attacking those shepards who are trying to meet their lost Muslim sheep where they are.

          But no–I do not believe that we should invite in millions of conquering Muslims on the off-chance that one or two of them convert out of that violent creed. Besides, we cannot even serve as a haven for Muslim apostates if we are overrun with supremacist Muslims. Here is just one case:

          “Christians in Germany hiding Bibles amid death threats from Muslim migrants”

          I actually worked for Catholic Charities in the mid-1990s in San Francisco, when they were mostly working with refugees from South-East Asia. There was–quite deliberately–no evangelizing to the people they helped.

          But this was not a problem with refugees from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Most of those we helped were very grateful, and *certainly* did not follow a creed with enjoined them to conquer unbelievers.

          It has nothing to do with Muslims ‘being unworthy’ of help. What is happening now is an invasion of mostly military-age Muslim males.

          Right now, the rate Muslim rape and murder–including the *rape of children*–is skyrocketing across the West in the wake of Muslim immigration, especially in Europe.

          It is not every individual Muslim who acts on violent Jihad–but they do not need to. The tenet of Fard Kalifa holds that as long as *some* pious Muslims are waging violent Jihad, that it is covered. Other forms of Jihad include Zakat funding for Jihad, Da’wa, Jihad of the pen, and many other forms.

          The end goal of Jihad is the imposition of Shari’ah law–and a majority of Muslims even in the United States supports that.

          As I noted, Islam *has* been successfully largely isolated in the past.

          I think we are two sides of the same coin. I absolutely detest Islam the Quran and the pedophile murdering rapist warlord Mohammed. And I also detest the attacks on Pope Francis iand the Catholic Church. I know you were not attacking the pope but you challenged me for defending the reasons why the Church and VII is taking a more evangelical approach to spreading the word of God. VII recognized that the church has appeared to be rigged and unapproachable and authoritarian ahich VII sought to change. VII didn’t change church dogma but they are going overboard in their new evangelization including trying find some truth in every religion including Islam as a means to evangelize the full truth.

          If I were president Les I would do like trump and stop all immigrants and refugees from coming here first and foremost because president Hussein is importing MuSlimes to destroy America. This pathetic Muslime president is doing everything he can to sow division and hate and using MuSlimes is a perfect way to infect us with a Muslime cancer and an infestation that is fatal. And I would also agree that Pope Francis is too blind not to see this reality.

          I was really glad to learn more about your life and what you have done to help others. You are much more decent than me.

          May God continue to bless you and I look forward to reading more of your responses in future JW posts.

    That’s not a redundant statement, is it? As absurd as stating that a Nazi became “radicalized” in his fascism.

    The Left’s use of this nauseating “radicalized” trope really is intended to create fallacious sub-gradations of Islam and to imply that “mainstream” Islam (of course, there is no such thing) is benign and peaceful. When will the press acknowledge the basic truth that a supremacist ideology whose central tenets call for the killing or subjugation of non-believers is already properly deemed to be “radical?”

    The message is not the problem. God the Father Almighty has made it quite clear in Holy Writ that the Assyrian is the rod and staff of His vengeance. Against the Judgment of God the Father Almighty there is no recourse. Too bad, so sad, He’s Dad.

    We see in Genesis the clear, innate psychological character of the Muslim, who professes to be of Abraham, Ishmael and Jacob. Ishmael is described by God as, “16:12. He shall be a wild man: his hand will be against all men, and all men’s hands against him: and he shall pitch his tents over against all his brethren.”

    Later, in Isaiah 10:1-7 we see the root cause of our current dilemma is our own political adherence to the murder of the unborn via Roe v. Wade

    10:1. Woe to them that make wicked laws: and when they write, write injustice:

    10:2. To oppress the poor in judgment, and do violence to the cause of the humble of my people: that widows might be their prey, and that they might rob the fatherless.

    10:3. What will you do in the day of visitation, and of the calamity which cometh from afar? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

    10:4. That you be not bowed down under the bond, and fall with the slain? In all these things his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

    10:5. Woe to the Assyrian, he is the rod and the staff of my anger, and my indignation is in their hands.

    10:6. I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will give him a charge against the people of my wrath, to take away the spoils, and to lay hold on the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

    10:7. But he shall not take it so, and his heart shall not think so: but his heart shall be set to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.

    The blood of the unborn cries out to Heaven for justice, and we become the recipients of that punishment.

    Visit the slaughterhouses of Planned Parenthood and others nocturnally, take holy water with you, and start baptizing the souls of those victims of satan’s envy. There may yet be time before Armageddon erupts.

      You do realize, don’t you, the Jihad has been going on, non-stop, though with occasional slackenings off, for *1400 years*, during most of which period, the United States did not even exist; and for the vast majority of that period the millions upon millions of Infidel victims – and the millions of others who were oppressed and abused under the Dhimma system – were far more strict in their religious and moral practice than any modern society.

      So why do you assume that Islam has somehow been specially invented and turned loose to punish America for sins that have been committed only in the past forty years (especially since the latest wave of jihad was well and truly on the rampage – see Partition of India; see the Jihad against the returning Jews, 19th C-1948 and 1967) *before* Roe vs Wade)? America is not the whole world. What have the Assyrian Christians done wrong? The Copts? – enduring the misery of Dhimmitude for 1200 years and, despite heroic faith, dwindling down steadily from the majority in Egypt, to a ten percent minority today. What of the Armenians? The Bulgarians and Greeks, in the 19th century? – they could not *possibly* be described as apostates. What of the many, many deeply evangelical African Christian communities that are being massacred and pillaged? All of them suffered and are suffering far, far worse than the USA.

      Are you going to argue that the biblical God deliberately created the horror that is Islam – which has laid waste to at least 270 million human lives, many of which have, by Islam, by Islam’s existence been *prevented* from hearing the Gospel – in order to ‘punish’ everybody? And which prevents and has prevented millions of its own adherents from encountering the Gospel. Why would God deliberately set up something that would *prevent* or at the very least massively *hinder* evangelism? That would kill Christians endlessly and never, never, never get tired of killing them, such that the church all across North Africa, and in Nubia, was completely wiped out (and if you respond by arguing that those churches can’t have been real christians and must have *deserved* to be destroyed, all I can say is that that is very shallow theology).

        Why would God deliberately set up something that would *prevent* or at the very least massively *hinder* evangelism?

        Good question, and it prompts another one: Why would God give over so many souls to such a force? It’s certain that most of them will never accept Jesus as Savior. They won’t even be in a good position to hear the message of Christianity.

        There is no salvation apart from Jesus; no one goes to the Father without accepting Jesus as Lord. So, if Trinitarianism is true, we must accept also the conclusion that many souls are damned deliberately by God, who participates in the placement of souls and is surely able to predict that most souls placed with Muslim parents are doomed.

          Aug 17, 2016 at 9:23 pm

          The Bible does not answer the question: “why some and why not others?” But the Bible clearly teaches that God wants to save all people.(I Timothy 2:4). And no place in the Bible does it teach that God has chosen some souls for eternal damnation. Therefore, it is not good but very harmful to give an answer to the question which the Bible does not answer. God wants all to go to heaven and He has chosen not one to go to hell. For us sinful humans it is a crux, a conundrum. It is enough for us to trust in Jesus and obey His commandments and to tell others about Jesus. It is enough to study and to believe what the Bible teaches rather than for our minds to add to the Bible.

        I argue it indeed, because God explicitly states it in Isaiah 10. Why do you deny it?

        Of course I know it is a 1,400+ year long dilemma. While God speaks of punishing Israel in the citation, He also includes the caveat “nations not a few.” Could Europe, the Americas, Australia and New Zealand constitute “nations not a few?” Beyond a doubt!

        Yet, if you examine the high grounds of repeated, incessant warfare promulgated by Islam against the west, you will find invariably it was Catholic forces who gave us the victory. Tours, La Reconquista, the Crusades, Lepanto or the Gates of Vienna all speak volumes about the power of the only Church established by Christ Jesus and the Holy Ghost at Golgotha and Pentecost to bring order once again to the chronic excesses of PROTESTantism and Islam, as well as the carnage of communism.

        There is no salvation outside of the Catholic Church, because we have ALL the Christ instituted Sacraments necessary for salvation. For this reason, Muslims are demanding the removal of crucifixes at Catholic University in D.C. For the same reason, ISIS photoshopped an image of their flag atop the obelisk of St. Peter’s Square. Why? We are the only power on earth capable of defeating them.

        Even Reagan needed Pope John Paul II’s assistance to defeat communism, recall?

Flushed down the garbage disposals and into the sewers for rat food, they have been denied Life Itself.

          As the blood of Abel cried out to God in Genisis to condemn Cain’s murder, so do these millions of forgotten voices and now we are ground zero because we can only disparage the ONLY Church capable of victory. Pray the Rosary for peace, for the devil has been unleashed.

          Of course I know it is a 1,400+ year long dilemma. While God speaks of punishing Israel in the citation, He also includes the caveat “nations not a few.” Could Europe, the Americas, Australia and New Zealand constitute “nations not a few?” Beyond a doubt!
          …………………………..

          Notice he does not answer Dumbledore’s Army as to why Islam has been victimizing people all over the world for over 1400 years if it was created to chastise the modern West.

          Moreover, whatever the shortcoming of the West–and they are many–they *pale* beside the atrocities of Islam. Does Half not grasp that?

          More:

          Yet, if you examine the high grounds of repeated, incessant warfare promulgated by Islam against the west, you will find invariably it was Catholic forces who gave us the victory. Tours, La Reconquista, the Crusades, Lepanto or the Gates of Vienna all speak volumes about the power of the only Church established by Christ Jesus and the Holy Ghost at Golgotha and Pentecost to bring order once again to the chronic excesses of PROTESTantism and Islam, as well as the carnage of communism.
          …………………………..

          The Catholic Church has done a great deal, historically, to protect against Islam. Would that this were true in our own “politically correct” time.

          But his comparing Protestantism with Islam is simply grotesque. Protestants are not slaughtering people all over the world in the name of their faith, and his suggestion that they are is just calumny.

          Moreover, his implications that Protestants have not fought Jihad is also quite false. It was the Protestant-majority United States that ended Muslim piracy in the Mediterranean in the early 19th century–a 1,000-year-long scourge–and it was a Protestant charity worker who saved most of the Christians who were saved from the destruction of Smyrna during the Armenian Genocide.

          Robert Half can preach Catholic supremacy here if he so desires, but it should not be by lying about other Christians.

          More:

          There is no salvation outside of the Catholic Church, because we have ALL the Christ instituted Sacraments necessary for salvation. For this reason, Muslims are demanding the removal of crucifixes at Catholic University in D.C. For the same reason, ISIS photoshopped an image of their flag atop the obelisk of St. Peter’s Square. Why? We are the only power on earth capable of defeating them.
          …………………………..

          Not really. Muslims threaten Christians of *all* denominations, as Half would acknowledge if he was being honest. In fact, most of the churches destroyed by ISIS have been Eastern Orthodox.

          More:

          Even Reagan needed Pope John Paul II’s assistance to defeat communism, recall?
          …………………………..

          Alas, as savvy as Pope John Paul II was on Communism, he was woefully ignorant about Islam, despite his being shot by a would-be Muslim assassin.

          More:

          Further, I assume my observations to be sound as a punishment for all western civilization due to the blood of over 58 million babies’ crying to the Almighty for vengeance for being aborted
          …………………………..

          As Dumbledore’s Army notes, Islam *much* precedes the legalization of abortion in the West–by over 1300 years, in fact. What did all the victims of Islam die for during over a millenium?

          More:

          “Why would God deliberately set up something that would *prevent* or at the very least massively *hinder* evangelism?”

          Sin, pure and simple.
          …………………………..

          Well, this makes no sense. Islam has murdered millions of Catholics–the idea that somehow it only targets Protestants is absurd. In fact, Robert Spencer’s own Melkite Catholic family had to flee Turkey because of Muslim threats and persecution.

          Moreover, Islam predates the earliest Protestantism by almost 900 years. The idea that it only exists to smite Protestants is absurd.

          Satan knows his time is short, St. Malachy has prophecied Pope Francis to be the final pope, St. Nilus pegged our depraved society centuries ago, and the chaos and heresies are legion, as are the trillions and trillions of demons set loose to do their will against us.
          …………………………..

          Well, this is just silly. The “St. Malachy Prophecies” are a well-known fraud. They were “discovered” in 1595, and are quite accurate up until–well, 1595. After that, they become pretty vague.

          There was a vogue during this period for prophecies. The most famous, of course, are those of Nostradamus. Pretty entertaining, but not very accurate, either.

          As for Pope Francis being the last pontiff, this is a stretch even by the standards of the “prophecies” themselves. The last pope is described as being “Peter the Roman”. How does that link to Pope Francis? Saint Francis of Assisi’s father was named “Pietro”.

          Pretty thin gruel…

          The Catholic Church, incidentally, wisely does not accept these “prophecies”.

          Robert, it is better to say that there is no salvation outside of Jesus, the Saviour of the world, rather than to say that there is no salvation outside of the Catholic Church. Don’t you think so?

        “Why would God deliberately set up something that would *prevent* or at the very least massively *hinder* evangelism?”

        Sin, pure and simple. The vast heresies of PROTESTantism, not one sect agreeing with the next, no method of escaping sin as we Catholics possess in the Sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist, as well as that of Extreme Unction at death. You lads willfully deny the very Bible you place all your pathetically confused personal theories of “theology” on.

        For that reason Satan has spared no measure to drive men from the priesthood in order to deny the laypeople the Sacraments. Shoot the head, the body dies.

        Satan knows his time is short, St. Malachy has prophecied Pope Francis to be the final pope, St. Nilus pegged our depraved society centuries ago, and the chaos and heresies are legion, as are the trillions and trillions of demons set loose to do their will against us.

        Pray the Rosary. Do. It.

        You *do* realize, don’t you, that sin has been ongoing since the creation of man? The age of America in no way limits the punishment due its sins. What the Almighty states in Isaiah 10 is meant for all time. And the Jews had troubles with Ishmael back in Genesis which started the whole character of the depraved Arab mindset which fails entirely to recognize its purpose is to destroy the sinners who should know better, but who are also so seduced by the temptations of our supernatural enemies they can’t see the Truth of Catholicism.

    What a screwed world we live in. A christian church is lieing for money to bring in the country the sworn enemy. Namely cult members of Islam. Jihadi or not.

    So who is really the enemy? Who can we trust?

      The catholic Charities are no more catholic than Mohammad is. Tell your congress members to :Please don’t fund Obama’s 2017 resettlement goal which surely will come in at the 100,000 to 200,000 level. These are the federal resettlement contractors listed. The churches should not be receiving taxpayer money thru the UN. The UN should not be sending poorly screened refugees to our towns!! Taxpayer’s money should not be used for religious charities!!. The World Relief is an evangelical organization, a religious charity **. Congress should take Trump’s advice, no more refugees until they can be properly vetted. These refugees are automatic democrat votes here to fulfill Obama’s agenda. To rig the majority voting for Hillary. Please no funding until after the election.
      • ** Church World Service (CWS)
      • Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC)
      • ** Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM)
      • ** Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS)
      • International Rescue Committee (IRC)
      • US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI)
      • ** Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services (LIRS)
      • ** United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)
      • ** World Relief Corporation (WR)
      I have sent this message to Senator Kelly Ayotte, Senator Shaheen, Congressman Frank Guinta and Senator Mike Lee. Please continue to press congress on this issue, who knows, maybe the light will come on.

    At least the vermin is dead, so he won’t be sponging from our society any more or plotting to commit jihad locally. That is the benefit of letting them go to fight for ISIS rather than preventing them from going.

    Puntualizo que el discrepar de las opiniones del Papa o de cualquier obispo en materia que no tiene relación con el dogma, no es estar en contra de la Doctrina Católica sino discrepar de unos hombres que expresan ideas que no conciernen a la Fe que profesamos los católicos. Personalmente discrepo de las ideas de Francisco I y de otros muchos Obispos católicos cuando afirman que (sic) “el islam es una religión de paz” o ” todas las religiones buscan la paz”. Añado que continuamente, tanto de palabra como por escrito, estoy atacando el tremendo error de Francisco I que se aferra a sus falsas opiniones. Mientras no toque el dogma católico todo irá bien, lo que ocurre es que la mayoría de los católicos no saben distinguir entre opiniones y creencias. Creo que Francisco I debiá leerse el Corán

    Specified that disagreeing with the views of the Pope or any bishop in matters having no relation to the dogma, is not to be against Catholic doctrine but disagreeing with men who express ideas that do not concern the faith we profess Catholics . Personally I disagree with the ideas of Francis I and many other Catholic bishops when they say that (sic) “Islam is a religion of peace” or “all religions seek peace.” I add that continually, both in word and in writing, I am attacking the terrible mistake of Francis I who clings to his false opinions. While not touch the Catholic dogma everything will go well, what happens is that most Catholics can not distinguish between opinions and beliefs. Francisco I think the Koran should be read

    In their misguided effort to save desperate muslim refugees they pick out jihadis what a coincidence? How about helping the few remaining Christians who still have their heads attached? But no can’t do that, I read some where catholic charities pretty much is part of the democratic party! Now it doesn’t seem so coincidental after all !

    Catholic Charities needs to be charged with treason, giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

    “Syrian refugees” need not come to the United States.

    Social Media is NOT the problem!

    There is no radical or moderate islam. There is only islam. There is only the Quran.
    Islam has been warring within itself for centuries: Sunni vs Shia.

    I never say radical Islam because they aren’t radicals. They are fundamentalists. They practice Islam as Muhammad and 1400 years of Muslims have practiced it. We saw Muslim terror which caused the crusades. We saw Jefferson have to deal with Muslim pirates. We’ve seen it repeated throughout the world.
