We will be able to put these claims to an empirical test. Will Pope Francis’ trip to the UAE and the misleading document he signed with the Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar, Ahmed el-Tayeb, turn one jihadi away from his jihad? Will it prevent one Christian from being persecuted, or one church from being destroyed? We shall see. But given that the document contradicts both mainstream Islamic theology and law and el-Tayeb’s own previous statements, the prognosis is doubtful.
“Pope: My UAE trip Wrote New page in Christian-Islam History,” VOA, February 6, 2019:
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis says his pilgrimage this week to the United Arab Emirates wrote a “new page in history of the dialogue between Christianity and Islam” and in promoting world peace based on brotherhood.
Telling pilgrims at the Vatican Wednesday about making the first-ever papal trip to the Arabian Peninsula, Francis described his encounter with leaders of Islam as a counterpoint to the “strong temptation” to contend there’s a current clash between Christian and Islamic civilizations.
While in Abu Dhabi, Francis signed a document with the grand imam of al-Azhar, the ancient seat of learning in Sunni Islam, condemning religiously motivated and other violence. The pope said the two religious leaders wanted to give a “clear and decisive sign” that respect and dialogue is possible between the Christian and Islamic worlds.
Isntlam says
The one thing we learn from history is that we never learn anything from history.
Mary says
So very true
Moshe says
All my friends and colleagues who are woke to social justice regard Pope Francis as the best and most inspiring leader that the Catholic Church has ever had in its almost 2000-year history. Indeed, he has been a source of moral clarity regarding climate change and income inequality, key liturgical issues in the 21st Century in all societies. In the UAE this week he has made history once again.
I respectfully suggest that Pope Francis is as deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize as was former President Obama.
mortimer says
Pope Pollyanna. As naïve and uninformed and Marxist as they come. The pope knows so little about Islam. They are laughing at him.
Rufolino says
Indeed Mortimer, Francis has just made himself the victim of taquiya on a huge scale !
The celebration and rejoicing amongst the imams must be immense: how can the Infidel world not think Islam is benign, after this appalling stunt ?I
Taquiya, taquiya, taquiya…
Rufolino says
And in a few weeks he is going to do the same thing all over again in Morocco !
don vito says
My suggestion to Moshe would be to seek new friends.

Moshe and co. are members of a religious cult and they all exhibit trance-like qualities that cause them never to question the false reality in which they are living … in Spain.

Time for a wake up call:
“1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. [beast #1, antichrist]
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
[dragon=devil, gives antichrist his power and authority over all the earth-see Luke 4 and Matthew 4; temptation of Christ, devil gives it to whomsoever he will until return of Christ]
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. [either a fake or real assasination of antichrist]
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
[worship of the devil and antichrist]
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
[he blasphemes and rules the earth for three and a half years]
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
[self explanatory]
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
[antichrist persecutes the Christians unto martyrdom… he rules over all the world… one world government]
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
[The whole world will worship the antichrist unless they belong to Jesus.]
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
[Persecution of Christians. Some translations read the first part a bit differently.]
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
[beast # 2, false prophet]
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
[false prophet directs the whole world to worshiping the antichrist, those who don’t are executed]
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, [demonic power used for signs and wonders]
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
[an idol is erected in the image of the antichrist…. antichrist wounded by a sword…then ‘resurrected’]
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. [could be artificial intelligence or demonic power given to the idol…. martyrdom for those who do not worship the idol… direct parallel to Daniel 3 and the statue of King Neb. in Babylon….. one world religion]
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [one world economy with mark of the beast]
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [no access to the ‘market’ without worship of antichrist]
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”

Lydia Church says
Both pope francis and obama were evil men.
The environment encyclical will lead to pantheism, worship of the creation rather than the Creator. Romans 1.
It will also lead to population control and the endorsement of sins such as sodomy, abortion, and various forms of euthanasia as a result.
Per se, avoiding pollution and social justice for the poor in accordance with God’s Laws are good, but that is not what is going on here.
pope francis has denied the one true faith of Christianity.
He has betrayed the Christian world.
He has endorsed sins and false religion.
He is spearheading the way to the one world government, religion, and economy.
It is never excusable to compromise by doing any of this, even if one claims it is for ‘the common good.’ God does not need you to betray Him in order to achieve ‘social justice’ for the ‘common good.’ He can part the Red Sea if need be, he does not need Judas to help Him out.
But the antichrist will deceive not only many, but most everyone. Only those with the Holy Spirit will see through it. It will be so deceiving. It will sound so sweet, so pleasant, so seductive!
“Oh! How wonderful! We can all ‘live as one’! World peace! Unity! Inclusion! Tolerance! Brotherhood! Love! Accepting everyone for ‘who they are’! Welcoming ‘the stranger’! Oneness! Divinity of all… you too can be like god! Let’s just all hold hands together! We can help end poverty and oppression if we just ‘lay aside our differences’ and ‘unite as one’! And don’t worry, you can ‘do what you want’ or ‘do as thou wilt’ regarding anything, we won’t judge you by our moral codes! After all, ‘who am I to judge’? We’re all ‘god’s children’ right? Oh, those judgmental Christians do so much damage with all of their righteousness and morality! I would just love to rid the world of them for once and for all! Then we could all just ‘live in peace’! We could ‘realize God’s “dream” and bring the kingdom now’! In fact, I will erect a rainbow flag to represent our unity in diversity! And an islamic flag too in fact, to… you know… emphasize our brotherly love! Oh, and by the way, did I forget to mention… that I am the devil incarnate?”
The delusion will deceive most of the world.
Don’t be one of them. The broad road leads to destruction.
The narrow path leads to Jesus in heaven.
Those who enter are FEW!

Merriam-Webster definition of meek:
1 : enduring injury with patience and without resentment : MILD
a meek child dominated by his brothers
2 : deficient in spirit and courage : SUBMISSIVE
“I don’t care,” came the meek reply
3 : not violent or strong : MODERATE
his delivery varied from a meek, melodic patter to rapid-fire scriptural allusions
Islam is the opposite of meek. Christianity only became successful after dropping meekness. You cannot fight a fanatical, belligerent, spiteful, evil religion with meekness. Even a fool can see that. Frankie must be worse than a fool; he must be a deluded fool.
FYI says
Oh I see you missed the bit about Frankie’s LYING about,promotion and protection of his friend in the Cardinal mcCarrick scandal,Frankie’s Heretical teachings that sanction immorality amongst catholics…and the Apostasy that is currently coming from Rome.
You missed those…
Climate change and income inequality,by the way, are not “liturgical issues”.
{As for poverty and income inequality:you know the billions of dollars in real estate owned by the vatican will never be going to the poor?You know that right??}
Only those who are truly blind or who have an idolatrous devotion to the cult of the holy father could fail to see the problem with Smiley Joe Bergolio,the Jesuit deceiver.Frankie has shown absolutely NO consideration for clerical child sex abuse victims:go tell your ‘woke’ SJW buddies that won’t you?
As for prizes,Frankie should get an Oscar for his starring role in “silence of the catholic lambs” as the Man Who Does Nothing.
Perhaps Frankie could give Obama a papal knighthood and together they might qualify for the much-coveted NWO prize-medal so beloved of Globalists{and won by Merkel and Juncker}:the Coudenhove-Kalergi medal.
(Obama the Warmonger qualified for the Noble Peace Prize:you see how the globalists laugh and mock the sheeple?)
The C-K-medal is awarded to those who promote mass-immigration policies:the fruits of which we are seeing every day.

Spencer said it well, we shall see. But frankly I doubt this one visit between these two will make one damn bit of difference. If raped children and mass terror can’t inspire positive change among muslims and their leftists allies then I don’t see how 2 religious kingpins kissing will make one bit of difference. Achieving “world peace based on brotherhood” will never be possible as long as islam sacralizes bigotry and murder as godly pursuits. Will islam ever eliminate the violent taint in their politically motivated religion? Well I suppose anything is possible under the sun, but I ain’t going to hold my breath.
Walter Sieruk says
There are a number of apologists for Islam, some are imams and mullahs and strangely enough, even some so called “Christian” leaders ,as Pope Francis ,who have made the outstanding claim that Christians and Muslim both believe in and worship the same God. So it stands to reason that it’s important to know if this claims valid and true or invalid and false. The facts are that the god of Islam or the Muslims is a single being. In great contrast the God of Christianity, of the Christians consists as the Trinity. By the Trinity it means that “Within the essence of the one True God there are Three Persons. Being God the Father. God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Not three gods in one But Three Distinct Persons in One God. Being the Tri-Personal Nature of God, Matthew 3:13-17. Second Corinthians 13:14. . The Bible teaches, the Father is God, Galatians 1:1.The Son is God, First John 5:20. The Holy Spirit is God, Acts 5:3,4. Not three gods but the one and only Triune God.
As further explained in the Christian book MAJOR BIBLE THEMES by Lewis Sperry Chafer on page 39 which informs the readers that “Many believe that the doctrine of the Trinity in implicit in the use of the word Elohim, as the name of God which is in a plural form and seems to refer to the Triune God. “ Likewise, in the Christian magazine PERHAPS TODAY November/December 2013 on page 8 it reads about Genesis 1:1. “In the beginning God [this is the plural noun Elohim, meaning ‘more than one’] created the heaven and the earth.” Furthermore, a bit of a view of the inner workings of the Trinity together may be seen in that the God the Father raised Jesus from the dead. Romans 10:9,10. Jesus raised Himself from the dead, John 2:19,20. The Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead, Romans 8:11.The inner-workings of the Trinity of God may also be seen in the fact that the Father sanctifies, First Thessalonians 5:23. The Son sanctifies, Ephesians 5:26. Hebrews 2:11; 9:12,14;13:12.The Holy Spirit sanctifies ,Romans 15:16. Second Thessalonians 2:13. Getting back to the Bible book of Genesis. In Genesis 1:26 in reads “The God said let US make man in Our image , according to our likeness…” The words are the plural “Us” and “Our.” As in “We the Trinity” For the very next verse, 27, it further reads “So God created man in His own image…” In verse 26 it’s the plural “Us” and “Our” to the singular “His” That is Three Persons in One God. In addition, in the New Testament in Matthew 28:19 It further reads the Jesus said “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the the Son and the Holy Spirit.” [N.K.J.V] That is “name” not “names.”
In conclusion the many apologists and propagandists for Islam for Islam who make the claim that Christians and Muslims believe in and worship the same God are make an untrue and outright false claim. For the God of Christianity, Christians and the Bible is not the god of Islam Muslims and the Koran.

somehistory says
islam is not deserving of any respect. It is from satan the devil, the “father of the lie” and a “murderer from his beginning.” islam commands its adherents to follow the example set by satan and most of them follow with a heart full of bloodlust.
moslims don’t respect anyone…esp Christians. The pope going there to the nest of snakes in their home isn’t going to change that. Christians have no reason to “respect” moslims and no amount of kissy face by the pope and the moslim creep will change that.
islam has no virtue, no redeeming qualities, nothing to recommend it. It is undeserving of respect and instead, deserves condemnation and disgust and since it is evil, hatred for its badness.
The pope has made himself an enemy of God by becoming friends with islam and its foul adherents. His is an example to learn what not to do and no Christian should listen to him.
somehistory says
The pope fits well the description of the “false prophet” that assists in building an “image of the wild beast” with the help of the “wild beast” and satan, the “original serpent.” That “false prophet” promotes worship of the “wild beast.”

He is beast #1, false prophet is beast #2.

The plot thickens.
“world peace based on brotherhood”
What brotherhood? There is no brotherhood outside of the church. But this is what the antichrist will promote. World peace. Brotherhood. Unity. Inclusion. One world religion. And death to those who resist unity with evil.
“Francis described his encounter with leaders of Islam as a counterpoint to the “strong temptation” to contend there’s a current clash between Christian and Islamic civilizations.”
What denial! He doesn’t see the ‘current clash’ between these two civilizations… doesn’t see all the martyrdom of Christians by muslims, such as in Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Pakistan, etc. etc. etc.
Wow!

Gen 16:12

Pumbar says
I think he is more an ass than a donkey.
somehistory says
Lydia,
I must disagree with your statement. And since the “wild beast out of the sea” has heads and diadems, it represents “government by man” whereas the “false prophet” of chapter 13 of Revelation is not named, all of us….all as in everyone reading the verses…have to be surmising at this point, until the prophecy is completely fulfilled and we can look back on it.
The “false prophet” in verse 11 has “two horns like a lamb” but “speaks as a dragon.” Think about that in relation to the pope. He pretends to represent Christ…”The Lamb,”…but his speech is like the devil, or “dragon” of Rev. 12.
The pope fits the role of the false prophet. He is advocating a worshipful attitude of islam, promoting it as a “peaceful” religion and saying moslims are worthy of respect and that Christians should be welcoming moslims into their homes and treating them as “brothers.” he is helping to “build the image” of the “wild beast.” The “image” that moslims wish to project of islam is one of “peace” and goodness…which of course is “false.”
If you read Daniel along with Revelation, you will see that beasts picture “kingdoms” or governments of man. The beasts with multiple heads/horns or /diadems, picture a conglomeration of governments. For instance, the ram with two horns. And when Alexander the Great died, his “horn” was “broken” and four came up in its place representing the four generals that divided his kingdom between them. God’s Kingdom is represented by a “Mountain” and “a stone out of the mountain that crushes the statue” that king Nebuchadnezzar dreamed about and Daniel explained as “kingdoms” of mankind.
So we can have some idea of what entities are represented today by what was written all of those many years ago, but none of us, at this point, can be absolutely sure. We must wait and see how it all plays out. The main thing is to keep “wake” spiritually, and “stand firm in the faith.” We will soon see it all clearly.
somehistory says
The pope also fits the “false prophet” in that Vatican City is both a political entity and a religious one. Therefore, “two horns like a lamb” fit him more so than would a beast with “seven heads and ten horns.”

The Papal trip to UAE writes a new page in Christian -Islam history indeed!I think Pope Francis is guilty of the sin of pride if he thinks he can change centuries of Islamic thinking by the flourish of a pen.He might be sincere but I have my doubts about Ahmed el-Tayeb going by his comments on previous occasions
ronyvo says
Mrr. Spencer , how about YOU go to the Vatican and educate this very ignorant and DANGEROUS pope about the truth of Islam?!! He is dangerous as those jihadists if not more, due to the already ignorance spread among the Westerner Christians.
WPM says
I very much doubt that the Pope would give a personal audience to Robert Spencer ,the Pope is educated all about Jihad already .The Pope is more committed to OWG ,SJW, income inequality and other communist left wing causes then the protection of Christians from Moslems jihad. He is more dangerous then Islamic jihadist because he is selling the trojan horse of Moslem refugee resettlement to the west ,we must accept these “refugees to the west” we can change their hate to love by giving them housing, school , heath care they will “learn to love us”. It has not worked, appeasement for 1400 years what makes you think this formula for failure will work now? If the Pope gave a personal audience to Robert Spencer it would knowledge everything the Pope has done or said about Islam publicly could be put into doubt. Leftist do not want to cast doubt on their beliefs, they do not want to discuss other points of view, facts might hurt their feeling or damage their cause, that Robert Spencer knows that some people brought up in a cult based and advanced by fear ,violence ,lies ,blackmail cannot be reformed. Islam start by violence ,advanced by violence, has people belonging to it not permitted to leave by threats of violence, converted unbeliever to Islam by violence, it is rotten from its beginnings to the present day.
dex says

Billy Chickens
So very true. Arrogance leads him to think he knows more than God and Christ do, and deals with satan on satan’s terms.
Walter Sieruk says
Some of the total falsehoods and lying Islamic propagandists, that even pope Francis ,part in is the false claim that the god of Islam is the same god as the God of the Bible
For the God of the Bible is not really Allah the god of Islam. To explain, through the passing of time it has become widely accepted that the word “Allah” is just the Arabic word for God. This started when truth compromising Bible “translators” substituted the word Allah where the word God should have had been uses in the Arabic translation of the Bible. Furthermore, in the glossary in the book ASSASSINS! By Dr. Haha Lung it defines Allah as the “Pre-Islamic Lunar god : the god of Islam. “ Likewise, in the book entitled INSIDE ISLAM by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Reza F. Safa on pages 22, 23 it reads “In pre-Islamic times both Allah –worship and Baal-worship involved the worship of the sun, the moon and the stars which h defines them as astral religions. [Which are condemned in the Bible, Second Kings 23:5] The crescent moon, which was the symbol of moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam.” In conclusion the Islamic god, Allah, is not the God of the Bible.
The words in brackets are my own. In addition other some other books that expose this little known truths are WHO IS THIS ALLAH ? by G..J.O.. Moshay also UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Emir Fethi Caner and THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey . There is also PHILISTINE by Ramon Bennett and ANSWERING JIHAD by Mabeel Qureshi
