This plot was foiled, but there will be others. The Islamic aspiration to conquer Rome is longstanding.
“Imam Ahmad reported in his Musnad that Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Al-‘As (may God be pleased with him) reports, Whilst we were around the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) writing down, he was asked, ‘Which of the two cities is to be opened first, Constantinople or Rome?’ He (the Prophet) answered, ‘The city of Heraclius will be opened first!’” (Imam Ahmad, and Al-Albany)
Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradawi quoted this hadith a few years ago and added: “This means that Islam will return to Europe as a conqueror and victor, after being expelled from it twice – once from the South, from Andalusia, and a second time from the East, when it knocked several times on the door of Athens.”
And the Saudi Sheikh Muhammad bin Abd Al-Rahman Al-‘Arifi, imam of the mosque of King Fahd Defense Academy, once boasted: “We will control the land of the Vatican; we will control Rome and introduce Islam in it. Yes, the Christians, who carve crosses on the breasts of the Muslims in Kosovo – and before then in Bosnia, and before then in many places in the world – will yet pay us the Jiziya [poll tax paid by non-Muslims under Muslim rule], in humiliation, or they will convert to Islam.”
There are many more such statements here.
But why doesn’t Pope Francis explain to Mohsin Ibrahim Omar how “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence”?
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)
“Italy Sentences Somali Man to Over 8 Years for Plotting Terrorist Act in Vatican – Reports,” RT, May 12, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
ROME (Sputnik) – A court in the southern Italian city of Bari on Tuesday sentenced a 22-year-old Somali man to 104 months in prison for plotting a terrorist attack in the Vatican, national media have reported.
Mohsin Ibrahim Omar, also known as Yusuf, was convicted on international terrorism charges.
The man was arrested in Bari in December 2018 on suspicion of conducting terrorist activities. According to investigators, he was trained in an Islamist school in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi.
In the past, the convict had links to Somali’s Al-Shabab extremist group that is affiliated with the Al-Qaeda* terror group. Al-Shabab is known, among other things, for kidnapping Silvia Romano, an Italian aid worker, in Kenya in November 2018. She was released last week.
Omar plotted to detonate a bomb at St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City during a Christmas mass that traditionally draws plenty of believers. The Italian intelligence agency believes that the man was in contact with a Somali cell of the Daesh* terror group….
Maureen Chaloner says
As we all KNOW what Islam wants,they will NEVER get it.Most unbelievers are educated enough to be capable of stopping the Islamic takeover.And WE WILL! Through our LAWS. We all need to elect a RIGHT WING governments who will have the balls to implement anti-Islamic laws that prevents any Muslim from gaining a position of authority or power.I mean, the Mayor of London(istan) is a fine example of allowing a Muslim to gain power.He only has time for Muslims! THATS WHY London is overrun with Islamists.So,new laws, job done. See Islam fall once again.
mortimer says
The point of M.Chaloner has been previously stated by British lawyer Gavin Boby who has stopped the building of mosques through applying existing laws. However, in order to prevent further Islamic invasion it would require a very big increase in awareness of Islam’s totalitarian and supremacist agenda in the general public. Most Westerners are philosophically challenged and ‘just want everyone to be nice’ without explaining what ‘nice’ means. They are brainwashed by Western neo-Marxist educational systems not to use critical thought when it comes to ideology. I would argue that the ideology of Islam isn’t ‘nice’ … Islam is very dangerous and repressive to women, Jews, Christians, Hindus, Gays, atheists and Baha’is (not necessarily in that order). Whenever a Muslim party takes political control we see the Taliban or ISIS. When the general public realizes that ISIS is the true face of strict Islam, then we can create a political agenda to rid the still-free Western countries of Islam and remove the pernicious ideology of Islam from the earth. Western human rights codes and hate-speech laws can eventually be brought to bear against Islam, the most intolerant and discriminatory religion on earth. At this moment, there is an unprecedented hemorrhaging going on in Islam as more apostates than ever abandon Islam.

Let me wake you up from your LaLa land dreams: that’s merely stupid & wishfull suicidal socialist thinking Maureen! Right-wing conservative style governments alone just won’t cut it this time around, as in todays realities they’re all in cahoots and in-bed with these moooslums out of fear for reprisals! Really,we’ve all been snoozing for too long; especially the whole lot of you need to grab a hold of your balls, if you had any! Yes, you reading this right: its not going to be nice and civilized, but nothing other then a full-blown Civil War, were your leaders are court-martialled, were your old political party systems are abolished, were the dc members nrs are drastically reduced, were the worst offenders are removed from the living and remainder members are forced to convert, as only this will bring real change and safe your Christian/Judean based societies Just take a look and set an example like some of these heroic ‘former’ East-Bloc countries did, who once again have shown to be the only ones who are capable of common sense thinking, who have leaders who’ve proven they still posess those balls, who’ve taken the appropriate actions to remove themselves from the ☪️EU/UN sesspools and are subsequently safeguarding their future generations from this satanic human plague & cancer! By now your leaders have been allowed, with all your blessings, to pull many of these ☪️ Trojan Horses inside most of your cities walls for decades; have allowed them to burden, to overload to rape & pillage your social security systems, to take up major positions inside your local & federal governments, allowing them to run their own sharia compliant police forces, establish ‘No Go’ zones, while your Quisling ball-less leaders are still busy with the wholesale import of these mostly male dc members, who in turn are creating havoc, are breeding like satans own horny rabbits inside your country’s borders, either with their own kind or by raping your own young native daughters or woman! We all need to take action now, not relying on the old political leaderships of any kind!

‘Ayatollah’ Francis … gave himself airs by declaring that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence”. On Planet Reality, Islam’s ‘AUTHENTIC’ theologians have said the opposite.
-Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
– “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr (wrong belief), just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.” – from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”
-“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca.
-Shaykh Ahmad ibn ‘Atiq said: “There isn’t in the Book of Allah the Exalted – after the issue concerning the obligation of tawheed and the forbiddance of its opposite (kufr=wrong belief)- any issue which has as so many proofs, nor so clearly explained, than the issue of al-walaa’ and al-baraa’.” (W-B is ‘Islamic apartheid’)
– Dr. Muhammad Saeed Al-Qahtaani said: “Thus, it is clear that Al-Wala’ Wal-Bara calls on Muslims to “love” their fellow Muslims and hate the non-Muslim (or Kafir).”
– from Sufi scholar Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624): “The honour of Islam lies in INSULTING kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to HUMILIATE them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain TERRIFIED and TREMBLING. It is intended to hold them under CONTEMPT and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”
– from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show ANIMOSITY and HATRED towards disbelievers and NEVER support them.”
– K. 28:86 says: “Lend not thou support in any way to those who reject Allah’s Message.”
– In the matter of relations with kafirs, a Muslim should “…act like you are his friend. THEN KILL HIM.” – Sheikh Muburak Gilani
– “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE THEM because of their kufr (wrong belief), just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.” – from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”
– “… to SHOW ENMITY to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger”. – from [Chap.iv] “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib
– In 2019, Mufti Muhammad Ibn Muneer of New York said, “The general principle is to love and to HATE for the sake of Allah. Which is simply summed up as, loving the Muslims and HATING THE NON-MUSLIMS.”
– from a lecture given by Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal (H.A.): “The implication of al-Baraa is that one HATES for the sake of Allah (SWT)…Al-Baraa means to recognize who your enemies are and to HATE THEM and EXTERMINATE THEM in their Endeavour to get rid of your Deen, al-Islam…Al-Baraa is to HATE the people who propagate Baatil (falsehood)—the Muslim should HATE them and (at least desire to) KILL THEM when the time comes.”
– Obligation to Hate Kufaar: “With regard to matters of love and hate in the heart, the Muslims’ attitude towards non-Muslims is based on the latter’s attitude towards Allaah. If they worship Allaah and do not associate anything in worship with Him, then they love them. If they associate others in worship with Him, or disbelieve in Him, or worship others alongside Him, or are hostile towards His religion and hate the truth, then it is obligatory to hate them in our hearts.” – Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid
-“Act like you are his friend. Then kill him.” – Sheikh Muburak Gilani
-Sheikh Hamad Ben Ateeq, may Allah have mercy upon him, has said:
“In the Book of Allah (Qur’an) there is no ruling more apparent and significant than the ruling of al- Wala’ Wal Bara’, after the requirement of Tawhid and the prohibition of its opposite.”
-Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab said: (The profession of …)“Islam of a man can never be accepted, even if he abandons polytheism, unless he shows enmity towards the disbelievers and polytheists, as Allah says in Surat al-Muja’dila 58:02”.
The above quotes are in direct contradiction to the spontaneous claims of Pope Francis and they are from top *AUTHENTIC* Islamic theologians.
The pope IS NOT an Islamic theologian. The pope’s comments on Islam are PRESUMPTUOUS.
keith O says
I must admit that as a survivor of abuse by the catholic church, I personally would not be advers to seeing the whole corrupt , filthy organisation torn apart brick by brick.
The idea of innocent civilians being harmed in the process is repugnant.
If an attack on the Vatican went ahead, the backlash against Islam form every Catholic on the planet would be staggering.
Which in itself is probably why no such attack has happened YET!!!
If Islam becomes dominant in Italy, the the holy see will burn.
gravenimage says
I’m so sorry this happened to you, Keith.
As you likely know, though, Islam is the only faith that *sacralizes* child rape.
Whatever you might think, though, you are very much mistaken if you believe that any kind of Muslim takeover would result in less child abuse.
gravenimage says
One more thing–I don’t want to see the Vatican and its great art destroyed. I think your advising Infidels to burn down the holy see is much mistaken.
James Lincoln says
gravenimage,
Perhaps at least some of the major art pieces should be moved to, say, the United States or countries in the Visegrad Group, etc.
The art pieces are extraordinary. I had the good fortune to see Michelangelo’s Pietà at the Vatican Pavilion during the 1964/65 New York World’s Fair.
Carolyne says
I have seen the Pieta too but, oddly, I didn’t like it. Christ looked small and frail and his mother looked twice his size. In the eye of the beholder, I guess. In any case it has always been the goal of Islam to possess Rome. The Pope seems not terribly adverse to that as he seems to be in love with Islam and some of it’s it’s clerics, if one considers body language.
gravenimage says
Carolyn, you don’t have to love or even like any work of art–or even consider it to be any good. There is certainly some modern art that is not to my taste.
But I would not want to face a world where all this work was in danger of being destroyed.
And James, I do love the Pietà, which I consider one of the greatest examples of all statuary. (The tricks in size are intentional, as are his Michelangelo’s similar tricks with David).
There is much other great work in the Vatican, as well.
I would like to see this work taken out of Italy if need be to save it–but that would likely mean that we are ceding Italy and the rest of Western Europe to Islam, and I *do not* want to see that. Also, much of this work is not free-standing, but is integrated with its architecture–and that is not something that can be shipped abroad.
James Lincoln says
gravenimage,
When I saw the Pietà, I was with my father, a physician.
My father was impressed by Michelangelo’s knowledge of surface anatomy.
We went through the Vatican Pavilion multiple times, and each time he pointed multiple examples of the detailed accuracy of the surface anatomy.
Michelangelo was truly an artistic genius.
The New York World’s Fair was a highlight of my childhood. I was only a youngster, 10 years old, but I remember it vividly. We went several times, spending four or five days each time. Saw all the “big stuff” multiple times – and I became the cameraman and tour guide…
Keys says
Muslims have destroyed plenty of civilization’s treasures; it’d be a long list to document with much not on it – lost without documentation.
I have no doubt, many Muslims would not hesitate to destroy the Pieta.
gravenimage says
James, Michelangelo was also likely one of the first artists to really study anatomy through dissection.
Rufolino says
Great art is not greater than man, though some people think it is.
Great art is a reflection of a reflection. The original reflection being, man made in the image of God.
gravenimage says
I don’t think that anyone here said that great art is greater than man, Rufolino. But I in no way want some of man’s greatest creations sacrificed to the arid horrors of Islam.
Giacomo Latta says
Not to worry. COVID-19 has put a big dent in the revenue stream of the Vatican. If pope Nutbar the first isn’t ready to sell some of his art we shall see how happy he is to be poor.
James Lincoln says
keith O,
Very, very sorry that you were a victim of abuse by the Catholic Church.
Your current feelings are certainly understandable…
GreekEmpress says
keith O,
I too, am very sorry you suffered abuse by the Catholic Church. I share Mr. Lincoln’s sentiments.
Rufolino says
Keith O, I agree with your sentimrnts.
Saint Paul apparently said, even if you give everything you have to the poor, if you are without love, you are nothing.
I don’t see much “love” in the Catholic Church. Round here, in Italy, I can say from experience there is almost none, (despite magnificent Church buildings and works of art.)
It seems this was your experience too. To appreciate this reality we have to look with our hearts, not with our eyes.
FYI says
Sorry to hear that.I hope you get Justice:you are entitled to it.
Abuse of children is- absolutely ferociously -condemned by Jesus Christ
“If anyone should cause one of these little ones to lose his faith in me,it would be better for that person to have a large millstone tied around and be drowned in the deep sea.How terrible for the world that there are things that make people lose their faith,such things will always happen -but how terrible for the one who causes them!”
Matthew 18 v 6 -7
Church authorities,immoral clergy ,cover-ups,causing loss of faith are all condemned:”how terrible for the one who causes them”
Jesus Christ is a God of Justice too and never said “Go ye,invade the countries of others steal their lands and colonize them”.People who claim to be christians but who are not, are condemned by Jesus Christ.
{My ancestral homeland was taken over and colonized by foreign invaders:I hear you and you have legitimate complaints about those who took over your country}
BTW The Gospel says ” Remove the evil man from your group”
I Corinthians 5 v 13
so religious authorites have absolutely NO excuse.

I guess that the one they call pope see nothing wrong with that. In fact, I would say he looks forward to it.
