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

Pope calls on Europe to give Muslim migrants “the protection they need, a dignified condition and a hopeful future”

Jun 20, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Italian opposition party leader Maurizio Gasparri of Forza Italia called the influx an ‘invasion.'”

Yes. See my comments below.

“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)

“Pope Seeks ‘Pathways’ for Muslim ‘Invasion,’” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, June 18, 2020:

ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) – Pope Francis is calling for the creation of migrant “pathways” as at least 20,000 mostly Muslim migrants are poised to sail from the coast of North Africa toward Italy.

In a letter to the European Commission, the Italian Interior Ministry warned that “a new emergency is approaching,” while Italian opposition party leader Maurizio Gasparri of Forza Italia called the influx an “invasion.”

“I am following the dramatic situation in Libya with great apprehension and sorrow,” Pope Francis said at the end of his Angelus message in St. Peter’s Square Sunday.

“I call on the international community to please take their plight to heart, identifying pathways and providing means to provide them with the protection they need, a dignified condition and a hopeful future,” Francis pleaded.

On Thursday, Vatican News reported that Pope Francis had dedicated his message for this year’s World Migrant and Refugee Day to the theme: “Forced like Jesus Christ to flee.”

Critics slammed the pontiff for his lack of discernment in promoting mass Islamic immigration, despite a growing awareness of Muslim immigration as “a bona fide doctrine of Islam” and the “methodically planned” recent tidal waves of Muslim migration.

“Pope Francis is working for the destruction of the remnants of Christian Europe,” eminent Islamic scholar Robert Spencer told Church Militant. “It is a sin against the Christian obligation to love one’s neighbor to welcome in a large group of people who are determined to convert, subjugate or kill that neighbor.”

Spencer, author of the best-selling The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS, said that “the Pope’s continued advocacy for mass migration, and his attempts to shame Christians into supporting it by claiming it is a manifestation of the Christian obligation to welcome the stranger, is nothing less than sinister.”

“Christians do not have and never have had an obligation to welcome those who are determined to conquer and subjugate them, as many of the migrants have made clear is their ultimate objective in accord with Islamic texts and teachings,” the director of Jihad Watch stressed….

      Hold it! Is the pope saying that MUSLIMS don’t have ‘dignity’ and ‘security’ in Islamic countries?

      He is slandering Muslim countries.

      But wait … what is it in Muslim countries that is so horrible for Muslims. It must be they are escaping Islam.

    rome reports – World Migrant and Refugee Day

    Bergoglio reminds that Jesus was also a refugee

    • mortimer says

      Jun 20, 2020 at 3:49 pm

      Jesus was not MILLIONS of refugees and most are NOT ‘refugees’, but economic migrants.

      • gravenimage says

        Jun 20, 2020 at 9:59 pm

        Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were not demanding that welfare from the Egyptians, nor were they raping and murdering them.

        • mortimer says

          Jun 20, 2020 at 11:11 pm

          The economic migrants should not be falsely termed ‘refugees’.

          The people of Italy have a right to choose their own representatives by election and insist on policies that are GOOD FOR ITALY.

          The voters have no interest in emptying their pockets to help economic migrants! Especially, when the new-comers want to destroy Christianity and implement discriminatory Sharia law.

        • gravenimage says

          Jun 20, 2020 at 11:31 pm

          Agreed, Mortimer.

          But most of them are not even economic migrants in the sense that they are just looking for more opportunity for their families–and they are not even just on the dole, but–as you know–are intent on invading Europe and forcing them to submit to Islam, violently if need be.

    • R Russell says

      Jun 21, 2020 at 3:46 am

      I am disgusted at the use of the erroneous idea that Jesus was a refugee.
      He was taken to probably the Jewish quarters in Egypt by Mary and Joseph. They had plenty of money, Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. Joseph was also a carpenter so was able to work.
      Repeating the manipulative phrase, ‘Jesus was a refugee’ really irritates me. They left the Holy Land and went to live in Egypt for a short time – just like UK citizens go to live in France, Italy Spain etc. Are they refugees? No of course not. Neither was Jesus.

        That’s right, end the violence in Libya by importing it to the UK.

        Is that in accordance with your nutcracker views, Popey ?

    • Vladimir says

      Jun 20, 2020 at 5:20 pm

      No, Francis is a very intelligent man. So the answer is that he is evil. Some rare people are this evil, but it appears to be the truth. He clearly has an agenda, and somehow I don’t think it’s ultimately a Islamic one.

      • gravenimage says

        Jun 20, 2020 at 10:02 pm

        Some people are intelligent yet ignorant on many matters.

    Jun 20, 2020 at 12:32 pm

    Islam is the fastest growing religion in the US, mostly fueled by immigration from Muslim countries. There are mosques being built around every corner. Is the Pope (the blind man) to blame for this policy?
    Moreover, the Pope does not own an army. If the country that owns one, with more than 2400 nuclear weapons and a million men strong, is not able to enforce a policy on Islamic nations to remedy their discrimination, prejudice and hatred within Sharia against Christians and Jews, than we are all , as American citizens, marching fast into that pit one day.

  9. Tony Naim says

    Jun 20, 2020 at 12:34 pm

    And for God’s Sake, don’t blame the Pope for it.

  10. CogitoErgoSum says

    Jun 20, 2020 at 12:43 pm

    Joseph took Mary and Jesus from one part of the Roman Empire to another part of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire did not provide them with a place to live and a steady source of income. Joseph was a carpenter who worked to support his family. Joseph did not stay in Egypt indefinitely either. Once he felt it was safe to return to his original home he did so – on his own and at his own expense. He made his own way in the world and as far as we know did not blame anyone who did not help him, nor did he seek to make anyone feel guilty for for not giving him things for free. He put his faith in God and God entrusted him with the care of Mary and Jesus. He was an example for all men to follow of what a good father should be. Think of him this Father’s Day.

    • Ray Jarman says

      Jun 20, 2020 at 1:56 pm

      Excellent points and neither did Jesus upon his return commit atrocities against those around him as the Muslim insects have everywhere they have been accepted without exception. I would also like to hear Francis’ opinion concerning the rape and killings of Christians in Nigeria by the Fulani and Boko Haram.

      • JMB says

        Jun 20, 2020 at 6:16 pm

        Not only will you hear a deafening silence on this issue, I am sure the Pope will not even refer it to the UNHRC. (Human Rights Commission)

      • James Lincoln says

        Jun 20, 2020 at 7:00 pm

        Ray Jarman,

        Pope Francis is so bad that I don’t think that even cares about the rape and killings of Christians in Nigeria. If he cared he would at least mention it.

        The Pope needs to be forcefully removed.

        He is not only derelict in his duty to promote Christianity throughout the world, he is aiding and abetting its enemy – which is islam.

          This ‘holy’ father has been accused of SEVEN HERESIES by 19 scholars about a year ago:that is some record!

          {See on You Tube The seven heresies of pope francis }

          Only those with an idolatrous devotion to the cult of the ‘holy father’
          refuse to see it,the sort of folk who would go to Rome and bend down and kiss his feet:there are a handful of faithful cardinals and remnant groups who know well the truth about Mr Bergoglio.

          {He was caught out lying in the mccarrick case ,his Theology is faulty,he panders to Globalism and islam,being a worldly pope and not a true shepherd to his flock ,more concerned with the environment and climate change than with the plight of Christians.
          He is a marxist jesuit,a betrayer of Catholics and christians but it is too difficult for many to accept, so they deny it or pretend not to notice.BTW,catholic prophecy actually predicted all this…a false papacy ..and yet they refuse to see!}

          If he was the CEO of a business francis would be sacked for gross incompetence.

          The blind will REFUSE to see..they appear to worship francis above Jesus Christ and will not listen to any criticism levelled at francis.

    Yet he never calls for S Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, the emerates to import all these ‘refugees’. Why is that? they have mega billions of dollars and could easily take in the ‘immigrant’ populations all muslim. But they don’t have too. The Hijira is pursued by these muslim populations that have little ability to integrate and less desire to do so… and the Pope stands for all this dissimuatlon.

      All European life died in Auschwitz – by Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez
      I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a
      terrible truth~ Europe died in Auschwitz. We killed six million Jews
      and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz, we burned a
      culture, their thoughts, creativity, and talent. We destroyed the
      chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful
      beings who changed the world. The contribution of these people is felt
      in all areas of life: Science, Art, International Trade, and above all,
      as the conscience of the world.
      These are the people we burned.
      And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to
      ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our
      gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance,
      religious extremism, lack of tolerance, crime, and poverty due to an
      unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.
      They have turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world,
      drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments they receive
      free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their
      naive hosts.
      And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical
      hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for
      backwardness and superstition. We have exchanged the pursuit of peace
      of the Jews of Europe and their talent for hoping for a better future
      for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is
      holy, for those who pursue death for a people consumed by the desire
      for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs. What
      a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe!
      The above is a summary of an article appearing in a Spanish
      newspaper. It is applicable to most countries of Western Europe.

      Yes, he also has a duty to think of the safety of those who are Christians. If Muslims can’t find safety, protection, dignity and a hopeful future under Islam why, oh why, bring them into Europe and let them sow the seeds of the religion that has caused them to be in need of our help in the first place? They hate us and our religion (or lack of it). If they want to remain Muslims, please, oh please, do not let them through the door and into your home … because they want to take your home, your safety and your dignity from you and will only give you a modicum of protection if you pay the steep price of their choosing.

      His primary duty is to promote Christianity throughout the world, and protect those Christians who are being persecuted simply because they are Christian.

      He is doing neither. If you substitute the word islam for Christianity above, that is what he is doing.

      I’m not 100% sure what is going on in his mind, but his words and actions speak volumes.

    Pope calls on Europe for unrest.
    He wishes for the native Europeans humiliating and troublesome future.

    One can only conclude that humans fiercely reject living in peace for more then a hundred years.
