There have been 34,772 Islamic jihad terror attacks worldwide since 9/11. In that span, how many terror attacks were committed by people citing the Torah as their inspiration or screaming “Jesus is Lord!”? The irresponsible one here is Kevin Doran, who is trying to shame Catholics into thinking it wrong to note that there are Muslims who are “putting our civilization at risk and they pose a threat to us.” Clearly Doran is ignorant of the 1,400-year history of jihad, during which, as is meticulously documented in The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, Muslims repeatedly put European civilization at risk and posted a threat to Catholics. Does Doran think Islamic doctrine has changed since then? He is in for a rude awakening.
Do Muslim migrants today put our civilization, such as it is these days, at risk and pose a threat to us? Let’s see: Somali Muslim migrant Mohammad Barry in February 2016 stabbed multiple patrons at a restaurant owned by an Israeli Arab Christian; Ahmad Khan Rahami, an Afghan Muslim migrant, in September 2016 set off bombs in New York City and New Jersey; Arcan Cetin, a Turkish Muslim migrant, in September 2016 murdered five people in a mall in Burlington, Washington; Dahir Adan, another Somali Muslim migrant, in October 2016 stabbed mall shoppers in St. Cloud while screaming “Allahu akbar”; and Abdul Razak Artan, yet another Somali Muslim migrant, in November 2016 injured nine people with car and knife attacks at Ohio State University. 72 jihad terrorists have come to the U.S. from the countries listed in Trump’s initial immigration ban.
What’s more, all of the jihadis who murdered 130 people in Paris in November 2015 had just entered Europe as refugees. In February 2015, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. The Lebanese Education Minister said in September 2015 that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country. On May 10, 2016, Patrick Calvar, the head of France’s DGSI internal intelligence agency, said that the Islamic State was using migrant routes through the Balkans to get jihadis into Europe.
Pope Francis and today’s Catholic bishops, such as Kevin Doran and all too many others, are a disgrace to their Church, to Western civilization, and to the free world.
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)
“Bishop criticises ‘faith-filled’ Catholics who spread fear of Muslims,” Catholic News Service, March 22, 2019:
An Irish bishop has criticized Catholics who identify as “faith-filled” while spreading fear and mistrust of immigrants, particularly those who are Muslims.
Bishop Kevin Doran of Elphin, chairman of the Council for Life of the Irish bishops’ conference, told The Irish Catholic newspaper: “I’ve found that people who would classify themselves in some cases as traditional Catholics and faith-filled people seem to, in relation to migration and care of asylum-seekers and stuff, they’ll say ‘oh well these Muslims are putting our civilization at risk and they pose a threat to us.’”…
Bishop Doran said it was wrong of people to demonize Muslims for the actions of terrorism claiming to be inspired by Islam.
“To define a whole category of people, or a whole nation, or a whole religious group as being in some way more prone to terrorism than any other group is irresponsible,” he said.
In his experience, he said, Muslim people living in Irish society do so “peacefully and participate fully.”
“We have large numbers of Muslim children in our Catholic schools, and they contribute to the ethos in many ways.
“One of the interesting things about Muslims is while they are of a different faith, they tend to have a level of commitment to faith that in many ways we might well sit up and pay attention to,” he said….
Michael Garant says
I guess statistics mean nothing to this man of god……..no one is more blind than those who refuse to see. And people follow this twit?
revereridesagain says
Anyone who is “not religious” gets accused of nihilism and immorality as a matter of course. Apparently for this “man of God” the opposite also applies. That the god of Islam mandates hatred, aggression, violence and enslavement — which his own religion does not — means nothing to him. Islam has a god. It gives people “hope” and “comfort”. What could possibly be wrong?
Muslims who reject these teachings and leave their faith put their lives at risk because the religion mandates the murder of apostates. Does Bishop Doran have no respect for their integrity and courage either? Would he chastise them for warning of the dangers presented by the teachings of Islam?
Terry Gain says
Allah may be the devil, but he is not God and his death cult is not a religion. To call Islam a religion mocks religion.

This is only true if you, like the naive Bishop Doran, believe that every religion must be beneficent.

Catholics need to clean house right now. They need to begin with the Pope. Men such as Doran need to be excommunicated, not sit there in his priest costume and make a mockery of the Catholic church. If he has any followers they are equally lost. and should be condemned by all Catholics. This is like having a Catholic abortionist.

MESSAGE TO BISHOP DORAN : FACTS MATTER … your ‘opinions’ not so much
After three years analyzing the original texts of ten different religions, Tina Magaard concluded that the Islamic texts stand out by encouraging terror and fighting “to a far larger degree than the original texts of other religions. The texts in Islam distinguish themselves from the texts of other religions by encouraging violence and aggression against people with other religious beliefs to a larger degree.”
“What is striking is not in itself that one can find murderous passages in the Islamic texts, as such passages can also be found in other religions. But it is striking how much space these passages take up in the Islamic texts, and how much they focus on an us-and-them logic in which infidels and apostates are characterized as dirty, rotten, criminal, hypocritical and dangerous. It is also striking how much these texts demand that the reader fight the infidels, both with words and with the sword. In many passages, Muhammad plays a central role as one who encourages the use of violence, whether it comes to stonings, beheadings, acts of war or execution of critics and poets.”
Tina Magaard finds it particularly objectionable that so many Islamic scholars in her opinion knowingly fail to disclose these facts, and use their positions of power to create specific standards for what you can say. Often, they also blame Danish racism rather than objectively stating that extremists actually find justifications for using violence and threats in Islam’s holy scriptures.…
THE PRIMARY SOURCE TEXTS OF ISLAM PROMOTE AND ‘DECREE’ VIOLENCE and POLITICAL SUPREMACISM with the divine authority of Allah.

*********************************
If he found out just what they believe, what their “faith” tells them, then he might well realize to what they also “have a commitment” that non moslims need to “sit up and pay attention.”
“Sit up and pay attention” to the fact that they are murdering everywhere on earth in order to completely take over mankind for satan the devil! And where murder is still too drastic for them to escape punishment, the few murder and the majority weasel their way in by the use of lies and whining about a “fear and hatred.”

Many muslims have “a level of commitment to faith”, outwardly at any rate, because they know they will be murdered if they leave.

Yet another simple-minded dhimmiwit “Christian” idiot:The catholic Church hierarchy in Ireland is so MORALLY BANKRUPT that it has turned people away from Christianity and emptied the churches creating a spiritual vacuum that has enabled muslims to enter,build mosques and convert Christians.THAT is how bad it is now in Ireland and pig-ignorant morons of the likes of Doran are responsible for causing a MASSIVE LOSS of faith!That is FEROCIOUSLY condemned in scripture but of course clergymen never think the warnings apply to them.
Doran and his collared friends have actually turned many Irish Catholics AWAY from and AGAINST God by emptying the Churches!They have undermined Christianity.
Doran,like many of the smug,two-faced,Whited Sepulchres that run the RCC are an absolute disgrace.With Fraudulent Frankie,the Jesuit freak,more concerned with Global
warming and migrants and ignoring the massive loss of faith caused by Rome…..and its pedo-protecting “pope”,Mr Bergolio{..promoter of the disgusting Pell and revolting mc Carrick..}and his cronies are an abomination to God.
Doran no doubt, is unaware that the koran CURSES Christians k9:30.Or that allah’s greatest enemy is MALIK AL AMLAK{..Jesus Christ Sahih muslim 5:5611}.So WHY are muslims even in Catholic schools??They are not there for the Gospel….
I’ll bet they DON’T KNOW THAT IN Catholic schools!Instead of accomodating muslims shouldn’t Doran be preaching the Gospel to them:Too lazy like many “christian” clergymen!
The hypocrite should take off his collar and burn it:Yet another Christless “man of god” and thanks to people like him,a once Catholic,Christian nation is no longer Christian{BTW,during the recent Abortion referendum,the catholic church in Ireland remained largely silent:”all it takes for evil to triumph..”They also protected pedos and obstructed Justice}
It is not just the RED-GREEN axis,its the Dhimmi “Christians” too who pander to islam,even allowing muslims to “pray” in their churches{Don’t they know that the Fatiha “prayer” disparages Jews and Christians??}
The men who run the RCC are responsible for causing a massive loss of faith:Bishops of course are simply too lazy to notice.As my mother{ a devout Catholic} used to say “There’s no such thing as a starving Bishop”

Bishop Doran said:
“To define a whole category of people, or a whole nation, or a whole religious group as being in some way more prone to terrorism than any other group is irresponsible.”
I submit that it is MUCH more irresponsible to NOT tell the truth about Islam and to leave the local citizens uneducated – and unprepared for the next terrorist attack.

Clergymen are sometimes know-alls with loud voices and great confidence in their directive opinions.
A clergyman of true humility is to be treasured, it suggests he is mainly there to serve others, not to tell them what to do.

Would the bishop advise the Christians in northern Nigeria not to have “fear and distrust” of muslims? Maybe he should go there and show by example.

and also “faith” is a gift from God, and enables right worship and godly living and bestows blessings of promises fulfilled in the Christ.
“allegiance” is what the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers (3:54) demands, and it, thus, is self-serving, encouraging thought, word, acts, that serve pride, not righteousness. the muslim (slave) is a victim and will perish, estranged from God, even though he/she killed Kafirs and Jews and accomplished jihadist acts with hope to be noticed by the allah god – which is powerless to save.

“To define a whole category of people, or a whole nation, or a whole religious group as being in some way more prone to terrorism than any other group is irresponsible,” he said.”
Here for the millionth time we see the objection of all too friendly Tolerant Westerners to “Stereotyping ALL MUSLIMS” “Painting ALL MUSLIMS with a broad brush”, “demonization of a ALL MUSLIMS”. Of course this reaction is a very hard and effective discussionstopper. And the next step is accusing those who “define a whole religious group” of racism/ bigotry/ hatespeech/ what have you.
But anti-Islamism is very different from anti-Semitism because Jews are targeted on race, but Muslims on their own choice of belief.
The Western attitude of “Innocent until proven guilty” is also unbeatable in such nice tolerant people. So in their minds any stereotyping like a religious group being more prone to terrorism is absolute anathema.
Can’t this priest “hate the sin, love the sinner”? So “hate Islam, Love the Muslims”? Can’t he see Muslims as often the nice people he observes, BUT “under the influence”, almost as if they are addicts? Like addicts to alcohol and drugs get altered mindsets, Muslims run a similar risk. Like the addiction of smoking is bad for one’s health, Islam can be bad for someone else’s health.
My solution is for a country to maintain the freedom of speech at all costs, but to think hard about limiting the freedom of religion, meaning no protection of any religion from criticism.
And for Islam-savvy people to try to separate Islam from Muslims in the sense that Muslims are humans, with many aspects, often great ones, but with one dangerous aspect, Islam. An Islam that, administered and inbibed too much, can be seen as a dangerous addiction (for others).
That way we can prevent such nice tolerant people as this priest to accuse Islam-critics of stereotyping, because, we can argue, some Muslims are more addicted than others.
Terry Gain says
Freedom of religion does not mean freedom from having your religion, or fake religion in the case if Islam, from being criticized and mocked.

This is actually historical nonsense from this pillar of Jihadwatch. The Catholic Church internationally was a backer of the Holocaust.
It was the Catholic Church which facilitated Franco winning over the Republic.
And the Catholics were with Hitler and Hitler was with Islam in the 1930s.
This guy using the name Wellington for years undisturbed by Spencer and others talks dangerous nonsense.
Wellington says
You, Felix Quigley, Trotskyite which you are by your own admission (N.B., Trotsky was a psychopathic killer) are full of the brown stuff. You don’t know what the hell you are talking about.
Pope Pius XII, working behind the scenes, saved more Jews than any other person in history—some 800,000. The Catholic Church denounced Nazism in crystal clear terms on several occasions, two of them being Pope Pius XI’s 1937 papal encyclical, Mit Brennender Sorge (With Burning Sorrow), read from every Catholic pulpit in Germany on the same Sunday and which infuriated Hitler, and the 1942 Christmas message of Pius XII which also irritated Hitler greatly because it was a very thinly veiled excoriation of Nazism. Pius, btw, also excoriated Marxism, which he had every right to do since Marxism is, like Islam and Nazism, a totalitarian ideology which crushes freedom.
It is a blatant lie, and I am calling you a liar, to assert that the Catholic Church was “a backer of the Holocaust.” Thousands of Catholic priests were killed by the Nazis, many of them because they attempted to save Jews. Yes, there was a small group of rogue priests who bought into Nazi ideology and were responsible for the “ratlines” that ferreted some Nazis out of Europe to South America as WWII was coming to an end but this was not even remotely Church policy and is just indicative of the fact that rogue people can be found in even the most decent organizations, be they militaries, religious sects, etc.
As for the Spanish Civil War, yes, the Catholic Church sided with Franco, but don’t forget that the Spanish Republic was quite hostile to the Catholic Church and during the Civil War priests and nuns were on many occasions treated brutally by the Loyalists. Furthermore, while Franco’s side cannot be exonerated, neither can those who opposed him and who included Communists and die-hard Socialists that actually fought each other while fighting Franco and who themselves were guilty of many atrocities (e.g., what transpired in Barcelona).
You’re a damn liar, Felix Quigley. I wanted to repeat this for all to read. You make me sick. And know full well that I do not exonerate the Catholic Church when it has been wrong (e.g., what certain Popes like Alexander VI did during the Renaissance period), but there is a major difference between pointing out actual wrongdoing and just smearing people or an organization with a very broad brush as you have.
Finally, I will ask you this: If you could choose between the Popes who existed from the time Communism was first instituted in a nation, which is of course Russia in 1917, through Benedict XVI (this would include, in chronological order, Benedict XV, Pius XI, Pius XII, John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II and lastly Benedict XVI) running all the world in the 20th century or instead choose Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Mao, Guevara and Castro to run all the world in the 20th century, and these were your only two choices, whom would you choose? Think long and hard about this, that is if you are capable of thinking long and hard about anything.

As laudable of an effort it is for the private citizen keeping track of data at thereligionofpeace.com, the 34K Islamic terrorist attacks he has counted from MSM news articles since 9/11 is really a vast under count.

They are simply ignored by local media, police and complicit populations.

As a Roman Catholic I am appalled by the heirarchy of my Church. For 1400 years the Church has defended Western Civilization against the muslim horde. Think Charles “the Hammer” Martel in Spain or Vlad Tepes in Wallachia. You can’t reason with islam, you can’t strike any bargains with islam, you can’t bribe islam. isalm will never play well with others, ever. Vlad Tepes knew that so he impaled 23,000 muslim Ottoman invaders. Funny how they stayed away for a while after that……..

The Left will corrupt everything. They’ve been abusing and corrupting language for a long time and justify it solely as a means to an end. And on that note; to define Catholicism as making people more prone to pedophilia and sanctimonious hypocrisy than other religions is irresponsible. Just like Islam, it attracts people who already have those issues or it creates them in anyone who follows it’s teachings.

It’s amazing that an illiterate person can be made a Bishop. Firstly, Islam is not a group, It is an ideology. Secondly, Islamic doctrine mandated terrorism. It is a fact that Muslims commit the vast majority of terrorist attacks.

Catholic bishops before 2002: “Clergy prey on minors ? In the CC ? That’s just an anti-Catholic myth”.
Wrong.
Catholic bishop in 2019: “To define a whole category of people, or a whole nation, or a whole religious group as being in some way more prone to terrorism than any other group is irresponsible”.
In regard to Muslim jihadis, wrong.
Normally, that statement would be true. But sometimes, to say that of a whole category of people is a fair and accurate statement.
tim gallagher says
You would have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to notice the huge number of Muslim terrorist attacks (no, it isn’t Buddhists carrying out the attacks or members of the Christian religion) being carried out everywhere in the world. How can this priest tell such a gigantic lie? Then, again I guess he’s just faithfully following the same egregious lies that the present Pope has been telling about Islam. Can this priest really be as dumb as he seems? If he knows that he is lying, then what’s the agenda? Someone needs to give him a shake and wake him up to the fact that he is running a protection racket for a murderous, evil ideology, which is constantly killing people in terrorist attacks. It is surely the opposite to what he, as a clergyman, should be doing. He should be calling out evil fearlessly.
Carol the 1st says
Good way of wording it Tim – “protection racket”.
Dapto says
And this prick oppresses Gays for who they are , to hell with the clergy may they all rot in hell.
gravenimage says
Not all Christian clergy is like this, Dapto.
Naram-Sin says
To define Islam as not being more prone to terrorism than any other group is irresponsible.
abad says
Doran is simply parroting Francis without doing any real thinking on the subject of Islam and jihad.
Lydia Church says
Uh, nooooooooooo…. it’s called REALITY!!!
They are so deceived and deceiving!
Peter Buch says
Another example that my proposal, a few years ago when some tried to make a new structure for danish folkekirken, the most common path of danish christians, to sack all bishops in Denmark should not be restricted to my country…
Ronyvo says
Bishop Dorgan is not only irresponsible, sorry to say that he is ignorant of Islam. I am hesitant to throw in the word criminal, but by him saying this to his folks would lead them to ignore being careful for their lives and the safety of their children. I wonder what would he say to those who are hurt, raped or killed by Muslims shouting ‘allho akbar’ or citing surahs from the Koran teaching them to do what they do best which is horrible CRIMES against humanity. This Bishop and his boss pope Francis are the very IRRESPONSIBLE.
andrew mckendrick says
Question for Bishop Doran…was Pope Urban the second islamaphobic?

“One of the interesting things about Muslims is while they are of a different faith, they tend to have a level of commitment to faith that in many ways we might well sit up and pay attention to,” he said….”
That’s hilarious—what a complete idiot…he admires the Muslims because they are more religious than the decadent non-observant Christians. Just you wait…Bishop Doran…just you wait…you’ll see how “religious” they are when they cut off your head.
The Irish clergy ‘have come a long way, Baby’….since the days when the Irish Monks “saved Western Civilization.”

What drugs is this idiot on!!!??? Like all the rest of these Western Apologetics they are in complete denial. The religionists realize anything can be done in the name of a “Religion”. They have to go along with it as these psycho Desert Nazis deem it to be “God’s Work/Will”. They really no know…. there is no God & religion is like nylon….. man made.
Barbara says
How would he explain the 50 beheaded Yaihzee girls. When Isis left the village the SAS discovered the bodies. The were kidnapped and forced to being rapped. There are thousands of Christian, Hindu women who are kidnapped and forced into Islam.
Pray for those SAS soldiers the PTSD they suffer will never leave them.
gravenimage says
I’m sure this idiot would claim that these pious Muslim rapists must be “misunderstanding” Islam…
