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

Islamic State threatens Pope Francis and the Catholic Church in new video

Aug 25, 2017 12:37 pm By Robert Spencer

“Remember this, you kuffar [non-Muslims] – we will be in Rome, we will be in Rome, inshallah [god willing]….After all their efforts, it would be the religion of the cross that would be broken.”

Yep, it’s an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ, all right. Remember: Pope Francis has said that the rights of Muslim migrants override security concerns.

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

“ISIS threatens Pope Francis and Catholic Church in new video,” Catholic Herald, August 25, 2017:

ISIS has released a video showing its fighters ripping up photographs of Pope Francis and threatening to come to Rome.

Filmed in the Philippines, where the terrorists have been fighting the government for control of the city of Marawi, the video also shows the destruction the group have wreaked on a Catholic church.

The jihadists brag about how they have freed inmates from a local jail, with one addressing the camera saying: “Remember this, you kuffar [non-Muslims] – we will be in Rome, we will be in Rome, inshallah [god willing].”

The video also shows them destroying a crucifix and a statue of the Virgin Mary. It finishes with the church in flames, and one of the terrorists explaining: “After all their efforts, it would be the religion of the cross that would be broken.”

“The crusaders’ enmity toward the Muslims only served to embolden a generation of youth,” he adds….

    Oh but the pope loves Muslims! He is willing to allow Europeans to be raped so that Muslims can have a warm place to sleep. They shouldn’t hate him!

      One of their more unlovely features – out of many – is their lack of anything like gratitude.

        Many Christians, and even athiest Westerners, have imbibed the notion that forgiveness is a universal human trait. It isn’t. It remains a revolutionary concept. And even though I’m agnostic, I recognize the amazing evolutionary thinking that Jesus embodied in this notion.

        Muslims emerge from much more barbaric origins, where revenge, grievance, shame, and hatred form their core tenets.

        Whenever Westerners exhibit kindness to Muslims, it simply re-inforces their notion that they are superior, and it is their due to recieve homage and loot from the hated “infidel”…

        Every act of kindness, openess, foreberance, and forgiveness towards Muslims only increases their contempt and hatred of us.

    As the philosophy of sacrifice (altruism) is the foundation of any religion on earth (Christianity or Islam is no exception), so they follow like sheep in their “road to a pit,” faithfully, ready to be slaughtered at any moment on the sacrificial altar, eager to meet their “maker.” With THAT kind of philosophy they will NOT survive. Jihadis are only tools of their self-destruction. Don’t blame “the tool” if you abandon your will to survive!

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 26, 2017 at 12:38 am

      For Muslims, sacrifice means *sacrificing others* to their vicious creed.

    Aug 25, 2017 at 1:11 pm

    That is what the Pope gets for putting Islam and its followers ahead of Lord Jesus Christ, who he claims to believe in. No. Maybe Francis takes the liberal belief in Jesus. He should convert to Islam.

    • Robeaver says

      Aug 25, 2017 at 2:20 pm

      Yes those leftard liberals again. And what did the Catholic church say to the nazis in ww2 about the Jewish final solution? What? Say what? How did the Church go from the right to the left so soon?
      The problem is a liberal pope, not religion. I see.

      • James says

        Aug 25, 2017 at 7:49 pm

        When the Pope denounced the rape of Poland by the Nazis, the cardinal-primate of Poland begged him to stop doing so, as the Pope’s messages were aggravating the Nazis, and causing great difficulties to Polish Catholics. When the Dutch bishops issued a pastoral letter in 1942 condemning the Nazi oppression of Holland, that just brought severe reprisals. The CC – I don’t have much info about other Christian groups – did a great deal to try to help the Jews, and others, during WW2. This stuff is all documented in publications like the volumes of the “Acts & Monuments of the Holy See”, which cover WW2.

    I thought the Pope was in their camp, No? m

    • James says

      Aug 25, 2017 at 8:00 pm

      No. The Pope has to observe political neutrality. This Pope is not pro-Muslim or anti-Muslim. STM he does a pretty good job of avoiding aligning himself with any one partisan interest. Given how tribal and polarised US public life seems to be, this is not a recipe for “gaining friends”. That is why Popes seem to be “conservative” on some issues, “liberal” on others. They are guaranteed to upset all sides, eventually – which in a way is probably no bad thing. The Kingdom of Heaven does not fit into political divisions – so it is appropriate if the Popes do not do so either.

        Appeasing ravening Muslims is *not* a good idea, no matter what you may pretend.

        so why does he go to mosques to pray?

      • Geraldo says

        Aug 26, 2017 at 4:48 pm

        The pope observes political neutrality only when it is “convenient”. Otherwise, the pope is very outspoken about his political views and good at meddling in other nations politics.

    Does the pope wear boots?

    For all his claims of what Christians *must* do for these creatures, he has to know now that the problem with moslums is not the fault of Christians and that his weasel lies do not appease. .islum is a snake…a wild beast…and no amount of lies on its behalf will change it into a bunny rabbit.

    It’s book shaking time at the vatican..

        I am *no* fan of this pontiff, but this claim is just ludicrous, and does nothing to help matters.

        • Carolyne says

          Aug 26, 2017 at 11:32 am

          I am an Atheist, but I object to the crude comment made by Morton Doodslag. I am offended, but unlike a Muslim, I am not commanded by anyone to kill you nor would I even think of doing so. But never say such thing to a Muslim about Mohammed or you might have your head relieved of it’s body,.This is one of the most glaring differences between Muslims and civilized people.

    Aug 25, 2017 at 10:46 pm

    The religion of the cross will never be broken.
    But all who stand against it will be broken.

    See below:
    “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.” Matthew 16; 18

    The gates of hell (including islam) will not prevail against the Church (the true church).

    fyi: Peter was one of the leaders of the early church, they all had successors for the most part, but nowhere is he called a pope, nor is there any evidence that a succession of popes sprung from him. Jesus is our ‘pope.’

  10. Lydia says

    Aug 25, 2017 at 10:48 pm

    By the way, I know someone who recently visited the vatican and said that the back door is usually left unlocked and anyone can sneak in like she did. I wonder if they are asking for trouble?

    Islamic State threatens Pope Francis and the Catholic Church in new video
    …………………..

    This is the same day the pope said this:

    “Every foreigner who knocks at our door is an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ”

    https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/08/pope-every-foreigner-who-knocks-at-our-door-is-an-opportunity-to-meet-jesus-christ

    No amount of appeasement is *ever* enough.

    Aug 26, 2017 at 6:43 am

    I know it’s bad, but I would be less grieved if something happened to the Pope (because of Islamic terrorists) than to an ordinary citizen. He belongs to the elites for whom one more dead European is just part of the statistics, an acceptable sacrifice to blind Tolerance and Multiculturalism. Besides, the tragedy of yet another ordinary family would change nothing, but an attack on the Pope could be a wake-up call.

    Ideally, none of this should happen, of course, and I hope that when enough people start recognizing the problem politicians will also be forced to do that.

  13. FYI says

    Aug 26, 2017 at 6:58 am

    Well now there’s probably no need for that because you see the fraudulent and heretical imposter francis has been praised as a defender of islam by his dear “brother” from the al azhar mosque in Cairo.Such love francis has for his moslem “brother”:if only he loved his Catholic flock,Christians and the Jesus he pretends to follow as much!

    It’s the love that dares not speak its name isn’t it?
    The love francis has for islam.
    Clearly he would prefer to be an ayatollah;popes have no power these days.
    What a shame he despises Christianity so much….

    I’m sure francis would be delighted to invite his muslim “brothers” to pop over for a visit..especially in the event that the antichrist{more properly ..the false Christ },whose path he is busy preparing,might like to meet them….he should be appearing on the world stage soon enough…don’t say you were not told….}

    isis are most welcome to francis,his cronies and the Vatican.
    I’m sure Jesus would be OK with that too since francis is so busy betraying Christians and constantly undermining Catholics.
    francis would make an ideal sacrifice to the moon god.

    And these islamic state creatures will certainly have an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ …in the judgement of their savage,godless,evil,commandment-violating corrupt,morally bankrupt devout islamic souls..

    And by the way,since Jesus Christ is Jewish,any snide anti-Semitic remarks or anti-Jewish sentiment will not go down well for the soldiers of the moon god allah,will it?
    It will only make it worse for them when they go to hell(or what allah calls “islamic paradise”).

    But of course,these devout and truly godless creatures don’t imagine they will end up in hell.

    Whether you want to know this or not………islamic zealots are serving to propel the predicted and expected deceiver of 2 Thessalonians 2 to power.
    The job of the deceiver is to separate the wheat from the chaff making it easy for the True God to sort out the good from the bad.So you see the heretical francis,isis,converts to islam etc….and they really don’t get this…but they will be the chaff in the justice of God.
    You can surely see this weeding out process…God’s winnowing fan…in operation..and if you listen carefully you may hear francis “speak like a dragon”.

    francis and the Vatican,in their betrayal of Christ should be top of God’s Hitlist.
    And muslims have no idea how badly they are going to lose.

    The apparent decline of Christianity incidentally was something predicted by Jesus Christ(Matthew Chapter 24)as something that has to occur to allow the (minority) Wheat to be separated from the (majority) Chaff.The “heathen” are allowed to overrun the sanctuary for a bit..before God wipes them out.

    It will be the same for those nations that wish to destroy Israel:they will not be spared!
    Believe it or not,Israel has full divine protection.

    What is happening in this world today is very accurately explained in terms of Biblical Prophecy.But basically.

    The True GOD WINS.

    see:-

    Israel and the future deliverance of Jerusalem …Zechariah chapters 12,13,14
    The apex of world history ..2 Thessalonians 2,Matthew chpt 24

  14. FYI says

    Aug 26, 2017 at 7:50 am

    There is another non-Biblical musical “prophecy” that may be relevant to our times..

    “Zippeh-dee-doo-dah,
    Zippeh-dee-day,

    I got a feeling something’s coming our way..”

  15. John A. Marre says

    Aug 26, 2017 at 8:26 am

    Will the pope say he was wrong about the Muslims? Will he admit that they are not peace loving people?

    The pope needs to get over thinking the “Three Great Abrahamic Religions” thing. There are Two Great Abrahamic Religions, and Islam is not one of them.

    Yes, Muslims believe in One God, but they think their god wants them to kill Christians and Jews, so their idea of god is invalid and false. This pope needs to look at what Benedict quoted about Islam, and adopt it as his own thought, because Benedict was right.
