This morning Christine Douglass-Williams brought you a report here at Jihad Watch on this Roman Catholic “Rosary to the Borders” event in Poland. Noteworthy also is how the Associated Press covered the event: “some felt,” the AP intoned, that the event “had anti-Muslim overtones.” Why? Because “the event also commemorated the huge 16th-century naval battle of Lepanto, when a Christian alliance acting on the wishes of the pope defeated Ottoman Empire forces on the Ionian Sea, ‘thus saving Europe from Islamization.’”
That is a historical fact, but as far as the AP is concerned, noting it is “Islamophobic.” Europeans, in AP’s world, are always predators and perpetrators of evil. Muslims are always victims. So it doesn’t matter if the Battle of Lepanto and the Ottoman jihad against Europe really happened. Poles are wrong to be grateful for this victory. They should be lamenting it as a triumph of “white supremacism” over “diversity.” To wish to defend one’s religion, people and culture against hostile invaders, why, that’s way beyond the bounds of acceptable discourse today — unless one is “Palestinian” or a Rohingya Muslim (in which cases the “hostile invasion” aspect is trumped-up anyway).
“She said she was also praying for the survival of Christianity in Poland and Europe against what she sees as an Islamic threat facing the West.”
Only racist, bigoted “Islamophobes” could think there is an Islamic threat facing the West, right? Meanwhile, there has been a 64% increase in violent jihadis in Germany in one year, and now there over 1,800 there.
“Poles pray en masse at border; Some see anti-Muslim agenda,” by Vanessa Gera and Karel Janicek, Associated Press, October 8, 2017:
GDANSK, Poland (AP) — Polish Catholics held rosaries and prayed together Saturday along the country’s 3,500-kilometer (2,000-mile) border, appealing to the Virgin Mary and God for salvation for Poland and the world in a national event that some felt had anti-Muslim overtones.
The unusual “Rosary to the Borders” event was organized by lay Catholics but was also endorsed by Polish church authorities, with 320 churches from 22 dioceses taking part. The prayers took place from the Baltic Sea coast in the north to the mountains along Poland’s southern borders with the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and all along the border of this country of 38 million where more than 90 percent declare themselves Roman Catholics….
But the event also commemorated the huge 16th-century naval battle of Lepanto, when a Christian alliance acting on the wishes of the pope defeated Ottoman Empire forces on the Ionian Sea, “thus saving Europe from Islamization,” as organizers put it….
While organizers insisted the prayers Saturday were not directed against any group, some participants cited fears of Islam among their reasons for praying at the border….
She said she was also praying for the survival of Christianity in Poland and Europe against what she sees as an Islamic threat facing the West.
“Islam wants to destroy Europe,” she said. “They want to turn us away from Christianity.”…
A leading Polish expert on xenophobia and extremism, Rafal Pankowski, saw the prayers Saturday as a problematic expression of Islamophobia coming at a time of rising anti-Muslim sentiment in Poland, a phenomenon occurring even though the country’s Muslim population is tiny….
In the northern city of Gdansk, people prayed on a beach lapped by waves as seagulls flew above. Krzysztof Januszewski, 45, said that he worries Christian Europe is being threatened by Islamic extremists and by a loss of faith in Christian societies.
“In the past, there were raids by sultans and Turks and people of other faiths against us Christians,” said Januszewski, a mechanic who traveled 350 kilometers (220 miles) to Gdansk from Czerwinsk nad Wisla.
“Today Islam is flooding us and we are afraid of this too,” he added. “We are afraid of terrorist threats and we are afraid of people departing from the faith.”

EVERY SAILOR & SOLDIER SAID THE ROSARY BEFORE THE BATTLE OF LEPANTO
The battle of Lepanto has been called the most important naval contest in human history. On October 7, 1571, praying Catholic forces defeated the Sultan’s navy, much of it galleys powered by 15,000 Christian slaves. Knowing that the Christian forces were at a distinct material disadvantage, Pope Pius V called for all of Europe to pray the Rosary for victory. Before the battle every sailor and soldier prayed the Rosary. We know today that the victory was decisive, prevented the Islamic invasion of Europe.
Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote, fought and was seriously wounded at Lepanto and then enslaved by the Muslim Turks.
Zdrowaś Maryjo

Savvy Kafir says
I’m not a Catholic or a believer, but if praying the rosary can take on an anti-Islam connotation, I think that’s great! We need all sorts of allies, and all sorts of motivations & even symbolism, in the war with Islam.
And the more often we declare our resistance to Islam, the better.

The true God commands us to pray to Him. He knows what is good for us. That is reason enough for us to pray. James writes that we have not because we ask not. But God is good. Every day we have His blessings even though we may not ask for them. “God, have mercy please and save us from this long standing enemy of yours and ours: Islam.”
Anti jihad says
Robert ,you are doing well. Entire non Muslim world needs more terrorist experts. And more seminars for precaution , like ‘how to protect your online activities from jihadi network.How to protect you and your family from online radicalization. How to prevent hacking from Isis etc
Anti jihad says

Linde Barrera says
I love Polish people and their resolve, even though there is no Polish blood in me that I know of. Polish people are warm hearted, truthful, and giving people. Their faith in the 1 True God is a testimony that God is protecting them from Islam.
underbed cat says
Poland has every right to protect themselves against an insidious, cohesive group who could eventually change Poland thru major population growth, foreign funds to support building mosques, getting political power, and having jihad terror attacks to silence criticisms. In Islamic countries ruled by sharia, life for Christians, Jews and atheist are not allowed to show crosses, repair attacked churches or openly display their faith. As the population is constantly attacked, woman raped, children live under constant worry. How the left in America can support this evil culture is really chilling.
mortimer says
An estimated one million people joined in praying the Rosary at various spots on Poland’s border on October 7, the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.
In the massive Rosary rally, organized by lay Catholics and endorsed by 22 Polish dioceses, the faithful gathered at 4,000 locations along the border to pray. The event was organized as a campaign of prayer for Poland and for the world. The country’s prime minister, Beata Szydlo, sent a message of support.
Bob says
The UK government would never agree to such a prayer gathering – it might upset the mucklims!
Jenny H says
It’s interesting that this year is the 100th anniversary of the Virgin Mary appearing to 3 children at Fatima in Portugal: every month, on the 13th of each month from May to October 1917. On the 13th October, 1917 the “Miracle of the Sun” was viewed by a very large crowd at Fatima and others miles away, off site, who saw the Sun appear to move and spin and throw off multi-coloured light, and people could look directly at the Sun…
I’m so glad the Poles are acting to defend their culture, religion and way of life, and to commemorate a vital turning point in history.
To my mind, a major part of the struggle against the encroachment of Islam is spiritual and spiritual weapons are needed for success. I also believe Allah is the Devil. Even if, when I die, I find out that Allah was really just a psychological construct from Mohammed’s subconscious, Allah and his religion (rather the legal and political aspects of his religion) are very bad things for humanity, including, or maybe especially for Muslims..

Gwendolyn E Mugliston says
As an American who as a child spent 3 years in a Japanese concentration camp in the Philippine Islands, who, then after being rescued by the commonly reviled Gen Douglas MacArthur, a hero of mine very maligned by our so-called historians, came to love the Constitution and Bill of RIghts of this Country, our country, the USA, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why any American, black, white, brown or yellow, would not appreciate our Constitution and Bill of RIghts and be grateful to live here. So you and I have suffered the glass ceiling,or been called names or not had checks honored because we were too dark…those ingrates have NOT destroyed my soul. How many are like me and just soldiered on? Not enough to save us from the globalists socialist communists, I’m thinking…or Muslims and their Sharia Law.
Name any other country in the world with such wonderful founding documents, namely the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Name any country in the world where males AND females went to school and found jobs they wanted, had the freedom to say what they thought and believed and lived lives as they saw fit and practiced their religions without warfare.
The only caveat here in the USA was no one has permission to destroy our government, Only in the last 40 years or so has our educational system succumbed to Political Correctness so that our students no longer use deductive reasoning or laud learning. From my reading, it seems a gradual take over by communists has led to this demise of education and consequent destruction of the underpinnings of our society. I think Alinsky and people like Clinton are very responsible for this. Unfortunately, there are many people who believe one government like the EUs so called central government would do better for us than our very particular form of a democratic republic.
Now Americans, far too many Americans, without reading a word of history or the Qu’ran think Muslims are a peaceful and loving group. I wonder at their intelligence and I truly believe if they don’t like the USA they should find a country they do like and leave. I wish them well.
John S. Obeda says
Gwendolyn, well said. I agree fully. God have mercy on our country and all democratic countries and save us from the false doctrines and false ways of the devil’s work: Islam. And Jesus wants us to pray for the Muslims too; well, okay, Please God help the Muslims to see the truth and Jesus Who IS the Truth.

Linde. The God-fearing Poles are a good example to all of us. (Linde, I was LCMS; but now am in Canada, member of a sister church, LC-C and in fellowship with LCMS). We must daily pray for our persecuted Christian brothers and sisters. And our pastors ought to do so every Sunday and for our leaders so that they wake up. Tell your pastor.

“A leading Polish expert on xenophobia and extremism, Rafal Pankowski, saw the prayers Saturday as a problematic expression of Islamophobia coming at a time of rising anti-Muslim sentiment in Poland, a phenomenon occurring even though…”
Perhaps this “leading Polish expert on xenophobia and extremism, Rafal Pankowski” might care to apply his supposed “expertise” to the problems caused BY Islam and Muslims?
Voytek Gagalka says
“Leading expert” Pankowski is as much clueless about Islam as his western “comrades in spirit.” Or as deliberately evil (if fully aware of a problem). Currently, it is hard to say which is worse.

Hugh Fitzgerald says
The battle of Lepanto, in which the Holy League forces defeated the Ottomans, was only one Christian victory in the Cyprus War (1570-730) which resulted in an Ottoman victory, and the incorporation of Cyprus, formerly ruled by the Venetians, into the Ottoman Empire. Furthermore, after this the Ottomans continued to conquer territory in southeastern Europe, as for example, solidifying its hold on Albania.
One of history’s great unknowns is what effect the discovery of the New World had on the ability of the Christians of Europe to withstand the Ottomans. From 1492 on Spain was preoccupied with its new territories, and the precious metals that were to be found there (e.g., the silver mines of Potosi), sending ships with soldiers,, missionaries, and administrators to the New World, with the ships returning groaning with silver and gold. This left fewer naval forces in Spain which might have joined the fight against the Ottomans. Had the New World been discovered not in 1492 but a century later, the Spanish Could have thrown all their naval forces into the Cyprus War, helped Venice and the Papacy to win it, kept Cyprus — which controlled the sea routes of pilgrims going to Jerusalem or to Mecca — under Venetian control, and strengthened the Christian forces sufficiently so that they might hold the Ottomans at bay in southeastern Europe or even re-taken territory from them.

You are tempting me. Venicians were just as bad as ottomans. They tried to ban Orthodoxy. Didn’t allow the appointment of new clergy and things like that. They were almost as evil as the ottomans. I am from that part of the world and you can’t lie to me.

Venetians were as bad as the Ottomans? Really?

Nope, The Venetians had their faults, but by no means NEARLY as bad.
To understand the evil of the Muslim Ottomans, you need to read about the methods they used to control the dhimmis.
It was constant cat and mouse game of PURE EVIL.

I’m surprised the AP doesn’t lament that on Sept 1, 1939 the Polish nation tried to defend itself against the Nazi onslaught. Wasn’t that a massive demonstration of Naziphobia and cultural xenophobia?

Laura says
Interesting…as I have read years ago while doing research on islam, that the Crusaders brought the rosary to Catholicism, as they saw muslims using them, and adopted the practice!
gravenimage says
Of course, this is tosh. Some Muslims may use prayer beads, but they *do not* pray the Rosary.
By the way, the Rosary was not instituted until several centuries after the Crusades, so the idea that they came from Christians adopting a Muslim usage seems highly unlikely.
JTLiuzza says
Be careful where you do your “research.” Something tells me your “research” is nothing more than a sloppy google search.
Joe says
The Rosary was started by peasants who wanted to imitate the “Office of the Hours”. Since they could not read, they said 150 Hail Marys which was the number of Psalms. Then St. Dominic introduced the Mysteries which he said he received directly from the Blessed Virgin. At the time, St. Dominic was battling the Albigensian heresy. The introduction of the Rosary was thought to have saved the day.
Michael Casmer says

Praying with rosary beads is Islamophobic whomever came up with this one knows squat, no mention in this article about Islamic prayer beads,
Just another excuse by the left and Islam to create discord the world over.

I was lucky enough to meet Lech Walesa. I asked him how Poles were able to throw off Communism without a bloody revolution. He said that it was the country’s Christian tradition. Their resistance was not about “guillotine, guillotine!” It was about building, not destroying.

I’ve done a pilgrimage walk with Polish Catholics in the Tatra mountains in the south of the country.
As a catholic from a less devout western country, it was wonderful to see the fervent belief that was shared, respect shown to nuns and clergy. The warmth in which I was accepted as a fellow visiting catholic was truly heartwarming.
Let the people of Poland keep respecting their history and traditions, it gives them purpose and strength and joy.
The west is growing increasingly bereft of a respect or reverence to their own culture and history and are starting to pay a heavy price for turning their backs on what made their own societies, what forged the freedoms and strength of democracy.
In 20 years the Poles will reap the benefits of such tradition ,faith and steadfastness, whereas the west (if things remain unchanged) is heading for civil conflict and societal turmoil on an unprecedented scale.
Dark forces have truly taken hold of the western mainstream media and Hollywood. To call Polish people islamophobic is an aberration.

Bravo to Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary for being able to see the truth about evil, barbaric Islam and its intentions. I just can’t believe the way the lefties in the media keep making excuses for stinking, murderous Islam. “Islamophobic” is the right and moral way to be. It just means hating a clear evil which is what Islam is. And why don’t AP and the other traitors talk about the endless “infidelphobia” in Islam. In fact, take away the endless hate of Islam for non-Muslims, there’d be nothing left. That’s really all it has got. Go Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic. Keep Islam out. You won’t regret that wise decision, as you watch the idiotic countries in Western Europe fight for survival against the Muslim invaders they have been stupid enough to let in.

A woman said, ““Islam wants to destroy Europe,” she said. “They want to turn us away from Christianity.”
Muslim religious leaders actually DO SAY that they want to destroy us and lead prayers asking Allah to destroy the lands of the Crusaders and their people.

They all have them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_beads#Islam Follow the link. The article is really interesting. Many primitive faiths have prayer beads. Seems both the Catholics and Muslims, as well as the others, got them from the Hindus. So, like so much else in the Catholic Church and Islam, these beads have a pagan origin.

Thank God for Poland and other Christian countries that are standing up against the evil that has taken hold of our world. It is most fortunate that there are Christians who are prepared to stand and not cower as so many others have done, including the Pope.
