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

Robert Spencer Video: Why Has ISIS Threatened to Behead “the Pope of Islam”?

Dec 13, 2017 1:25 pm By Robert Spencer

In this new video, I discuss the recent threat from the Islamic State (ISIS) to behead Pope Francis, explaining how anomalous it is in light of his many statements downplaying and denying the reality of jihad terrorism.

    It is islam !!!
    As criminal as it is violent.
    Has this Pope gone mad ? He is truly a disgrace to the JudaeoChristian civilisation. He is at liberty to lick the feet of those notorious islamists personally, but can never force the whole Christianity to be on its knees before the islamic ruffians.
    Shame on him.

      MNM, Pope Francis is not mad. He is Leftarded (an ideological trance similar to hypnosis).

      Muslims hate the pope because he is promoting KUFR, he is denying the Koran’s Christology and anti-Trinitarian theology!

      Muslims hate the pope because of Christian theology and ‘for the sake of Allah’. Allah hates Christians and wants Muslims to hate them too.

      Muslims who do not practice Al Walaa wal Baraa (Islamic apartheid) towards Christians will not enter Islamic paradise.

      Pope Francis should be called ‘Pope Islam’s Ass’. Muslims have made an ass of the pope.

      I see no anomaly. The HF is not a Muslim, he is worshipper of Christ, he has been critical of Islam – therefore, he is to be killed.

      Makes very good sense.

        Dec 14, 2017 at 2:45 am

        I may be wrong and please correct me if this is the case, but Pope Francis to my knowledge has not criticised islam. He continues in the vein of most western political verbiage about islam being a religion if peace.

        • Charles Martel Appreciation Society. says

        James, when has Pope Francis ever been critical of Islam?

    • James says

      Dec 14, 2017 at 2:19 am

      STM that those who revile the Pope are far closer in spirit to the Muslims they abhor than perhaps they realise.

      What is so refreshing about this Pope, is his freedom from such attitudes,

      • MTMLA says

        Dec 14, 2017 at 8:47 am

        Booooooo!!!! Kindness without wisdom is very dangerous. This Poop is very dangerous to all Christians due to his lying about Islam and kissing up to the muslimes…

      • Carolyne says

        Dec 14, 2017 at 12:48 pm

        That’s a joke, James, right? This Pope is a leftist. He was raised on the streets of Argentina. I don’t know if he can do the tango.

        I have never heard him criticize Islam. Quite the reverse. He says Islam is peaceful if the Koran is “Read correctly.” Pope Benedict criticized Islam. That’s why he is no longer Pope.

      No he has not gone mad. He has always been a mad Communist Lefty.
      Francis is a lefty who was placed in the Vatican upon the heavily pressured “resignation” of Pope Benedict for alleged “failing health.” But Benedict is still living in the Vatican (is he under house arrest?) and does not appear to have any health problems. Meanwhile, Francis is pushing a socialist agenda of all things NOT having to do with religion, such as the environment, immigration, etc. Francis is not serving the Church, he is a pond for the worldwide left takeover.

      • Carolyne says

        Dec 14, 2017 at 12:51 pm

        I believe that ex-Pope Benedict lives as Castel Gandolfo on the outskirts of Rome, the traditional vacation castle for Popes. Jesus never had a castle to vacation in or whatever, so I don’t understand why Popes do.

  2. Paul N Silas says

    Dec 13, 2017 at 1:48 pm

    Why? Because the Quran says to do this to all Infidels. “Red Francis” may be soft on Islam, but he just ain’t one of “The Brotherhood of Psychopaths”.

    Didn’t Mo say that one day Muzzies would stable their horses in what used to be St. Peter’s/Vatican.

    • Lydia says

      Dec 13, 2017 at 9:01 pm

      Three places to avoid this holiday season, especially as it gets closer to Christmas and New Years:

      Jerusalem (anywhere)
      Rome (Vatican in particular)
      NYC (Times Square in particular)

      They have made threats.
      They are rattling their cages.
      It is also just a nagging little feeling I have.

      • gravenimage says

        Dec 13, 2017 at 11:17 pm

        Lydia, we do not want to let Muslims tell us where we can and cannot go–that is just accepting more and more No Go Zones.

    • James says

      Dec 14, 2017 at 1:59 am

      Exactly. Calling him “the Pope of Islam” will presumably be a nonsensical idea from a Muslim POV. Only from a Christian or other non-Muslim POV does he seem to be “the Pope of Islam”. Not, in the slightest, from an Islamic POV.

      • gravenimage says

        Dec 14, 2017 at 11:53 pm

        Is James now demanding that we only be allowed to look at things through the Muslim point of view?

  3. Linda says

    Dec 13, 2017 at 2:14 pm

    After all his accommodation for Islam, if Muslims did behead the Pope, the next Pope may not look so favourably on Islam as this one now does.

    • Pong says

      Dec 13, 2017 at 5:08 pm

      No chance. The next pope will conclude that pope francis wasn’t friendly enough to islam.

  4. CRUSADER says

    Dec 13, 2017 at 2:16 pm

    Pope Benedict XVI had more moxie vs Muzzies.

    Sheepdogs are needed to surround this peace loving Pope.

    Fight back, because we are sheep no more! This personal safety and security book comes armed to the teeth with empowering techniques so you can be your own expert at protecting your life.

    Weekly, there are major threats, mass killings, terrorist attacks and even weather-related disasters—the list goes on. And this increasingly dangerous world includes more violent and deadly threats that are specifically targeting everyday civilians. You.

    This is the definitive “safety bible” that links the leading expert on personal safety with civilians. For the first time, you can make educated predictions using the new key questions of “Who, Why, Where, When, and How” from the attacker’s point of view.

    No one really expects violent situations to occur—but they do, and usually without advance warning or your control.

      Crusader, you confuse Benedict’s theological zeal with courage. He was not ‘courageous’ in the sense you suggest. Pope Benedict was NAIVE about Islam and thought he could use to reason to argue with OBSCURANTISM. Islam is deeply obscurantist… violently so!

      Obscurantism is the practice of deliberately preventing the facts or full details of something from becoming known or a policy of opposing the spread of knowledge or of withholding knowledge from the public.

      • gravenimage says

        Dec 14, 2017 at 11:55 pm

        Mortimer, when Pope Benedict criticized Islam, he was not speaking directly to Muslims, but to Infidels.

    • James says

      Dec 14, 2017 at 2:05 am

      The HF’s Employer said “Blessed are the peace-makers”. I think the HF is trying very hard to live by that. He will presumably be keenly aware of these words of Pius XII: “Nothing is lost with peace. Everything can be lost with war”.

      • MTMLA says

        Dec 14, 2017 at 8:56 am

        Islam means submission…the ideology descriminates against non muslims.

      • John S., Obeda says

        Dec 14, 2017 at 12:20 pm

        What Pope Pius X11 says sounds nice, but it doesn’t sound right to me. Is not Christ at war with the devil? Are not faithful Christians at war with the devil and the world? And if Christ gives in to the devil and we also give in and do their will, then there is peace, but it’s a false peace. It’s like what the Muslims and idiots say that Islam is a religion of peace; sure, when we’re either dead or we submit. The war with Hitler was necessary. After we won it, there was peace. If we would have submitted, and there would not have been a war with Hitler, we would not be having true peace. There is true peace only when we submit to Christ and do His will. Jesus was killed and He died, but He died in peace. God help us to fight for the truth and die if necessary and die in peace.

      • gravenimage says

        Dec 15, 2017 at 12:01 am

        James’ implication that you are not a real Christian unless you let Muslims rape and murder your children is just grotesquely false.

    Dec 13, 2017 at 3:11 pm

    I think the threat is just to give Francis some cred among those left supportive of Western civilization to throw said supporters off the trail. Muzzies couldn’t ask for a more Islamophilic pope.

    • gravenimage says

      No–Muslims’ hatred of the pope is genuine. No Infidel can ever be dhimmi enough.

    Excellent video! Frankenpope is an anti-pope, i.e. not validly elected. And he is the False Prophet of Revelations…he will soon promote the Antichrist.

    • Lydia says

      Dec 13, 2017 at 8:58 pm

      He can’t promote himself.
      Antichrist rises first, then false prophet.
      Rev. 13.
      It’s a symmetry to the Holy Trinity.
      Jesus came first, then Holy Spirit arrived and points to Jesus.

      The unholy trinity will do the same format.

      Stay tuned…

        Pope Francis is the Neville Chamberlain of the RCC.

        Chamberlain was wrong and later declared: “Everything that I have worked for, everything that I have hoped for, everything that I have believed in during my public life, has crashed into ruins.”

        The French called him ‘J’aime Berlin’ (I love Berlin).

        Pope Francis should be called ‘Pope Islam’s Ass’. Muslims have made an ass of the pope.

        • James says

          Dec 14, 2017 at 2:12 am

          The Pope’s Employer was called far worse, and suffered much worse. So I very much doubt that the Pope will be bothered the names thrown at him. He is not the one injured by them – those who use them are.

        • Bob says

          Dec 14, 2017 at 6:54 am

          On the other hand, Chamberlain always agreed with Churchill when Churchill warned about to urgent need for rearmament, and it’s always possible that Chamberlain ruined his political career in order to buy the UK an extra year to prepare for the obviously coming war.

        • MTMLA says

          Now James is pretending that our objecting to Muslims flooding in to slaughter us is akin to persecuting Christ. *Ugh*.

      • c matt says

        Dec 14, 2017 at 5:01 pm

        False prophet has generally been likened to an “anti-John the Baptist.” Just as John the Baptist announced Jesus’ arrival, the False Prophet (Pope Francis backwards – PF / FP?) will herald the coming of the antichrist.

    That the Muslim vermin want to behead the very accommodating Islamophile Pope should show all non-Muslims that it is truly a waste of time being nice and pleasant to Islam and Muslims. Muslims are out to get us, to kill or enslave us, and we all need to recognise the enemy that Islam represents. All Muslims are bound to have a very bad attitude to all non-Muslims. It’s the core of their religion. If you took that way from Islam, there’d be nothing there. As Paul N Silas says (above), the Pope, and all of us, just ain’t members of the “Brotherhood of Psychopaths”. Spot on. Who the hell would want to be in that brotherhood? Muslims just seem to have this constant desire to kill, like a reflex action. I read a comment by someone on another blog the other day about the connection between Islam and violence. I can’t recall what the issue they were discussing was. ” About Muslims and violence: Hey, it’s what we do!” I thought it was very accurate. I think it’s pretty much all they do and all they ever dream and think about doing. Hence, they’ll murder even their buddies like this Pope.

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 13, 2017 at 11:38 pm

      In the same way, Muslims are plotting to murder British PM Theresa May, despite her own cringing dhimmitude.

      • tim gallagher says

        Dec 14, 2017 at 5:13 pm

        Yes, gravenimage, it should show these idiots, such as the Pope or Merkel or May, how foolish it is to try to be nice and accommodating to the Muslim enemy and think that their niceness will be reciprocated. I wish these fools would wake up and face reality. They are such naïve fools.

  12. Infidel says

    Dec 13, 2017 at 8:35 pm

    Even after the epitome of Muslim love MAHATMA GANDHI did so much for Muslims before and after the partition of India in 1947 ( he virtually fawned upon Muslims and doted on them to a fault). THERE IS NOT A SINGLE MONUMENT OR EVEN A STREET NAMED AFTER HIM IN PAKISTAN. Pakistan also do not celebrate his birth/death anniversary… This was the same Gandhi that FAMOUSLY preached tolerance ONLY TO HINDUS and told them that Hindus SHOULD NOT RETALIATE even in the face of the most ghastly violence from Muslims..TALK ABOUT LOVE AND GRATITUDE FROM THESE VERMIN!!!
