Michael Higgins is as superstitious as his medieval ancestors who believed that misfortunes they experienced were the work of witches, but he believes he is enlightened.
“Bishop rebukes Irish president for blaming Islamist massacre on climate change,” CNA, June 14, 2022:
Attributing violence against Nigeria’s Christians to climate change is “incorrect and far-fetched,” according to the bishop of a diocese where at least 40 people were murdered at a Pentecost Sunday Mass.
Bishop Jude Ayodeji Arogundade of Ondo was responding to a statement issued by Irish president Michael Higgins after the June 5 massacre at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Owo, southwestern Nigeria.
Higgins condemned the attack on June 7, but appeared to link it to “the consequences of climate change”.
“While thanking the Honorable Mr Higgins for joining others to condemn the attack and offering his sympathy to the victims, his reasons for this gruesome massacre are incorrect and far-fetched,” Arogundade said….
He added: “To suggest or make a connection between victims of terror and consequences of climate change is not only misleading but also exactly rubbing salt to the injuries of all who have suffered terrorism in Nigeria.”
“The victims of terrorism are of another category to which nothing can be compared! It is very clear to anyone who has been closely following the events in Nigeria over the past years that the underpinning issues of terror attacks, banditry, and unabated onslaught in Nigeria and in the Sahel Region and climate change have nothing in common.”
CogitoErgoSum says
“Climate change” has been a problem for Christians ever since the time of Christ. I think it all started when so many of them were responsible for depleting the forests because of all the wood it took to make crosses for crucifying them or to use in burning them alive. It’s a well known fact that Muhmmad slowed down this deforestation problem by switching to decapitation as the preferred way of getting rid of Christians – not to mention that it is more humane. The world owes so much to Muhammad and a great deal of thanks to Muslims for trying to keep the world more like it was at its peak of perfection of about 1,400 years ago. And thank you, Mr. President of Ireland for thinking of all humanity and not just your own little island – which is so privileged not even to have snakes but which I know you are working hard to change for the betterment of all the snakes in the world. It must be a great feeling to know that even snakes appreciate and love you.

I feel the same way your comment indicates to me.

I’m assuming your comment is sarcasm. If not, check yourself in to the nearest insane asylum.

Yes, CogitoErgoSum is being sarcastic.
mortimer says
A typical Leftist who refuses to learn anything about Islam.
I offered a Leftist my copy of the ‘SIRA’ (the official biography of Mohammed) and he refused to read and learn about Mohammed from Islam’s most authentic biography.
Leftists live in a world of dreams and fantasies.
CogitoErgoSum says
I’m afraid you have hurt my feelings, mortimer. I thought you knew me better. I’ve really got to be careful with the sarcasm in the future.

Mortimer, what are you saying about CogitoErgoSum here? He is a staunch Anti-Jihadist and long time poster here.
CogitoErgoSum says
I’m afraid my comments lately have been affected by the increasing amount of time I have been forced to spend lately in trying to understand the language of Bizarro World.

Andrew Blackadder says
Ah to be sure you are indeed mercifully free from the ravages of intelligence, or your sense of humour is shining through.
Only an idiot in drag would think slaughtering people and climate change are interconnected.
Slaughtering people is the evil of mankind, oops, peoplekind, and climate change has gone on since recorded time, though maybe they didnt learn about the Ice Age Centuries ago.
Fuck allah and all who shag goats in his name.
CogitoErgoSum says
My comments do take a bit of thought sometimes and my sarcasm is not always easy to detect. Even I often forget that.
gravenimage says
I often use the “sarc” tag, realizing that not everyone gets sarcasm, especially online.
somehistory says
so, how come only Christians are not so affected by climate change in nigeria…and many other places run by rabid mozlums…that they just go on killing sprees? Why is it all so one-sided…only mozlums are doing the slaughtering, raping, kidnapping, burning and bombing, and the Christians just sit there and feel the heat?
If it’s all due to “climate change” it is the “climate” of society and not the Earth. People are just so very stupid, and it’s getting really difficult to keep a cool head.
mozlums are slaughtering, raping, burning, kidnapping, and fools keep making excuses for it all.
Just excuse the evil and everyone can be happy and sing a little song as they attend all of the funerals.

It’s wrong, but the headline of this article made me laugh out loud. Good to see the bishop of this diocese that was hit reply seriously to the Irish president’s remarks.

Proving again that Lefthink is wrong about virtually everything and also evidence of, at least, intellectual deficiency, actually usually a straight out mental disorder.
As bad as Islam is for humanity, and it’s damn awful, Western Leftism is even worse. Of the three great banes to humankind—traditional authoritarianism as evidenced by rogue regimes like those of China, Russia and Venezuela; Islam; and Western Leftism, I am convinced that the last is the most invidious and destructive PRECISELY because Western Civilization, easily so, has proven to be the most outstanding and astounding civilization of all time and Western Leftism is eroding it from within. And the enemy within is nine times out of ten more lethal than the enemy without. This is why I despise Western Leftism even more than I do Islam and authoritarian snakes like Xi, Putin and Maduro.
Namer says
My God I get tired of stupid people
Wellington says
Then you must be exceedingly tired of Muslims and dhimmis.
GreekEmpress says
The only “climate” that needs to change is the one surrounding the willful ignorance regarding Christian genocide in Africa.
Wellington says
Sadly and inexcusably, GreekEmpress, won’t happen because black African Christians in our era are as nothing compared to the dear, wonderful and ever suppressed Muslims worldwide.
Again proving, a la Orwell, that all religions are created equal but one religion is more equal than others (even though it constantly complains about not being given enough respect).
The madness continues. You bet it does. No end in sight.

It’s amazing the lengths that some brain dead fools, like this guy, will go to to avoid seeing, and saying, that it is islam that is the cause of all this terrorist slaughter of people in Nigeria. It’s no mystery as it is the same all over the world. So now it’s climate change. Climate change, for some people, seems to be responsible for everything that happens in the world. Years ago, for a while here in Australia, there used to be a lot of jokes about how dumb Irish people were. Haven’t heard them for years now. Maybe this Irish President, with his idiotic comment, could start a whole new fashion for Irish jokes.
Wellington says
Fine comment, tim. My compliments.
Hope you are doing well in what is left of traditional Australia as I am trying to do well in what is left of traditional America as Biden and his cronies (read chiefly Obama here) keep trying to destroy it.
Best to you and yours. Take care, my across the Pacific pond ally.
tim gallagher says
Thanks, Wellington. It is winter here and, although I live in a temperate climate, I do find the cold months a bit of an endurance event. And, because the governments, both Federal and states, have been trying to phase out coal and gas, because of, of course, climate change, we are now facing the threat of blackouts, etc. Australia is blessed with endless natural resources and yet the fools of politicians down here have let this happen. One of the weirdest things in this country is the ban that we, precious little dears that we are, have on using nuclear energy. In a way, we haven’t needed to use it because of all the cheap coal we have. But we have heaps of uranium which we sell to other countries, but we have been too stupid to use nuclear energy. I was talking to my sister about the prospect of blackouts the other day and said that I sometimes think that Australia is the dumbest country in the world, this ban on using nuclear energy being the clearest example. Almost all other countries have been using nuclear energy for 50 or 60 years, but not us. On the USA, it does seem to have appalling people in charge and they do seem to be doing their best to destroy the place. All the best to you and your wife. On the Irish jokes, I can vaguely recall that the USA used to have Polish jokes. No doubt they would have been the same jokes in both cases. We have recently elected a left wing Labor government to be in charge of the country so I expect they will do lots of idiotic things that will tend to ruin the country. The whole woke agenda will get a run.
somehistory says
Tim,
gasoline prices all over the U.S. above five$ a gallon and j.kerry…the guy who married the rich ketchup woman…says “we don’t need more drilling for oil.”
It’s all so deliberate…premeditated destruction of society…in a conspiracy of evil.
tim gallagher says
You could be right, somehistory. Here in Australia, if these blackouts begin to occur, then I think people will get pretty angry. Maybe a lot of the brainwashed fools will say, oh, well, we have to stop climate change, so freezing in the dark is necessary. Our petrol prices are high right now. It is either a conspiracy or it is all a stuff up by a bunch of moronically stupid political leaders. It seems that they are trying to turn our countries into third world countries and yet a lot of the population support all this crap..
James Lincoln says
According to Wikipedia, Michael Higgins:
“has used his time in office as president to address issues concerning justice, social equality, social inclusion, anti-sectarianism, anti-racism, and reconciliation.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_D._Higgins
He also sports a Masters degree in sociology, which helps to explain his thought processes – representing the epitome of Leftism.
Thus his absurd statement regarding “climate change” does not surprise.
gravenimage says
James, here’s more ugly stupidity from Michael Higgins:
Michael D. Higgins deplored the massacre in a June 7 statement, saying “that such an attack was made in a place of worship is a source of particular condemnation, as is any attempt to scapegoat pastoral peoples who are among the foremost victims of the consequences of climate change.”
https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251487/irish-president-condemns-nigeria-catholic-church-massacre
By “pastoral peoples” he means that Muslim Fulani, responsible for some of the Jihad terror in Nigeria–along with Boko Haram and many other Jihad terrorists there–should not be “scapegoated”–that is, held responsible for mass murdering peaceful church-goers.
Remember when other moral idiots tried to excuse Somali pirates because–supposedly–they couldn’t fish because of ecological disasters? Never mind that this was never true and that piracy is sacralized in Islam.
Glad to see this moral idiot is getting a lot of pushback here.
James Lincoln says

I’m guessing that this story will make it to the dumb infidels segment in tonight’s ‘This week in jihad’ w/ David Wood

Irish president says jihad massacre at church was ‘the consequences of climate change’
……………
*Just sickening* apologia for evil.
Besides, were this true, then Christians in warm countries would be as violent as Muslims–which is obviously not the case. This is about Islam, not climate change–even if this were a real thing.
Eleanor says
What I find shocking is that this man is the President of Ireland.
“Michael Daniel Higgins is an Irish politician, poet, sociologist, and broadcaster, who has served as the ninth president of Ireland since November 2011”.
“Poet and Sociologist” — there you go — that explains it.
Michael says
The Sahel is less resistant to climate variation due to over-population, and malign imports: Russian/Chinese guns and Saudi Sharia.
The fertility rate (children per woman) is 4 times native European and 3 times the replacement rate.
Better to promote contraception MDH.
Paul F Austin says
The comments of this ‘man’ perfectly illustrate the insanity which pervades Europe and The West when it comes to confronting Islam, in all its decadence, ferocity and depravity. We who are daily concerned at the spread of this evil must make it clear that the likes of this religious coward are shown for what they are, conspirators in the Islamic destruction of our cultures and peoples, world-wide. Where are the leaders in Western Governments who will decry his infantile comments?
tunde says
Couldn’t stop laughing after reading the headline.
Paul F Austin says
This guy is definitely NOT a ‘full shilling’……far from it.
I just don’t know where they find these incompetents…..Islam is without a shadow of doubt the greatest threat to world peace and if not stopped will be responsible for the destruction of our entire western culture.
This is not the time to procrastinate………the time has come for a Christian Jihad, surely?
gravenimage says
There is nothing Christian about Jihad terror.
gregbeetham says
Yeah CogitoErgoSum, who said Muhammad was dumb, he realized that the deforestation of Arabia just to burn Christians was producing too much CO2 and that was back before CO2 was even discovered.
But I think it might be a bit of a stretch to couple Climate Change with a Muslim Jihad massacre in a church, we might have to get that President of Ireland dude to explain how that works.
