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 […]
Muslim cleric: “By means of caliphate…your conquest, oh Rome, is a matter of certainty. Allahu akbar!”
“We were with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) in an expedition that there came a people to Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) from the direction of the west. They were dressed in woollen clothes and they stood near a hillock and they met him as Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting. I said to myself: Better go to them and […]
Pope’s annual meal for the poor features no pork or wine to avoid offending Muslims
When will this gesture be reciprocated? Never. “Interfaith dialogue” is not conducted in search of genuine religious rapprochement. It is designed simply to make Christians feel good about how Christlike and non-bigoted they are (in their own view), while the Muslims can go away satisfied that the Christians are again submitting to them. The principle […]
Turkey’s ambassador to the Vatican claims that freedom of religion is protected in Turkish law
Turkey’s ambassador to the Vatican, Lutfullah Goktas, has stated deceptively that “freedom of religion is protected under the Turkish constitution,” and that “Turkey has made significant progress regarding freedom of religion in its territory, such as restoring churches and synagogues.” Goktas was speaking at an event in Naples entitled “1929-2019: Ninety years of relations between […]
Vatican City: Muslim migrant screaming “Allahu akbar” threatens to ignite himself near St. Peter’s Square
Why didn’t that most learned of imams, Pope Francis, invite this fellow into his apartments and explain to him how “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence”? “Italian Police Detain Iraqi Migrant Threatening to Burn Himself Near Vatican – Reports,” Sputnik News, August 11, 2019 (thanks […]
Cardinal: Resisting “Large-Scale Muslim Immigration” is Patriotic
It’s a rare statement to hear in this era of politically correct conformity. And one in which Catholic, Protestant and Jewish organizations, at least in America, have been corrupted by cashing in on refugee resettlement for Muslim migrants. ROME, May 17, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) ― Resisting “large-scale Muslim immigration” is “a responsible exercise of one’s patriotism,” […]
Vatican issues a happy Ramadan to all “Muslim brothers and sisters”:
Says the Vatican in reflecting the muscular efforts of Pope Francis to fully embrace Islam: “We Muslims and Christians are called to open ourselves to others, knowing and recognizing them as brothers and sisters…. this way, we can tear down walls raised out of fear and ignorance and seek together to build bridges of friendship […]
“Rome, city of bridges, never walls!,” says Pope, “Jesus demands” we take in Muslim migrants
The Pope lives in a walled city within Rome. Will he tear down those walls? How many Muslim migrants has the Vatican taken in? Or is it the poor and disenfranchised of Rome and Italy in general who must pay the price for this man’s virtue signaling? Pope Francis has repeatedly branded those who oppose […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Where Can Asia Bibi Go? (Part Two)
As for weaponry, the Pontifical Guards have the Sig P220 semi automatic pistol as their standard issue. It is made by famed firearms manufacturer Sig Sauer, and has one of the best reputations for reliability and quality. (Today, the Navy SEALs are known for their similar Sig Sauer P226 pistols). The Swiss Guard also uses […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Where Can Asia Bibi Go? (Part One)
Asia Bibi, the Pakistani Christian woman who spent eight years on death row in a Pakistani jail, having been convicted of “blasphemy” on the testimony of Muslims, has at last been freed by a decision of the Pakistani Supreme Court. But her latest ordeal has only just begun, for she cannot possibly live safely in […]
Pope Francis to celebrate “Mass for Migrants” in Vatican basilica
“Abandoned and helpless children.” Yes, that’s who these people are. Here are some: 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, […]
Vatican signals its “concern” over populist rise in Italy elections
The Vatican has decried the “obsession with borders and national security to detriment of rights and dignity of refugees.” Such has been the stance of the Vatican of late. The Vatican “makes millions of dollars annually on refugee resettlement,” so it now asserts that “those who oppose the Muslim migrant influx are morally deficient. If […]
At Vatican, Erdogan asks Pope to help lead “concerted and continuous international effort to fight Islamophobia”
Pope Francis loves Erdogan: he gave him 50 minutes, not the usual 30 he accords to world leaders. “Erdoğan discussed the plight of the Christians [sic] minorities in the Middle East and promised to mobilize Turkish support to help them in every possible way, just as the Ottomans did in their 600-year history.” In reality, […]
Islamic State orders Muslims to commit jihad massacres in Rome as jihadis posing as refugees stream into Europe
“If last year someone had asked me if it was possible for Daesh to use migratory routes to threaten Europe, I would have answered no because it is quite obvious that a fully-functioning organisation does not take risks going into an uncontrolled and unmanageable route, such as that of migrants.” That’s obvious? Really? Only to […]
Islamic State threatens “Christmas blood” at the Vatican
No problem. Pope Francis can just step out of his luxurious apartments, embrace the Islamic State jihadis, kiss their feet, and explain to them that authentic Islam and the proper understanding of the Qur’an reject every form of violence. Then they’ll share a hearty laugh over their former misunderstanding of Islam, and all will be […]
Iran, Vatican discuss plight of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar
Millions of Christians in the Middle East were murdered, displaced from their homes, forcibly converted to Islam, made to pay the jizya, enslaved, brutalized…did the Vatican ever discuss their plight at the state level with any government? Maybe it did, but I am unaware of any such discussion. I do know that Pope Francis ran […]
Italy: Muslim migrant who boasted of poisoning Rome’s drinking water is deported
This is good. But there are many, many more like him entering Italy on a daily basis. Are Italian authorities inclined to do anything about that, or would taking action be “Islamophobic”? “Moroccan who hailed Bardo terror attack deported (2),” ANSA, August 28, 2017 (thanks to Insubria): (ANSA) – Rome, August 28 – Italy on […]
Vatican places barriers, police and army vehicles around St. Peter’s Basilica to head off Barcelona-type jihad attack
“Barriers and police and army vehicles have been placed around St. Peter’s Basilica to make it harder for a vehicle to gather speed in an attack such as the one last week in Barcelona, which killed 13 people.” What? This is unconscionable and Islamophobic! Pope Francis has declared: “Authentic Islam and the proper reading of […]
Germany: Muslims planned to finance jihad massacre with money extorted from the Vatican
They “plotted to have two suicide bombers set off explosive vests and then open fire on passers-by with automatic rifles.” They “hoped to finance their plot by selling to the Vatican a video showing proof of life of a priest who was kidnapped by IS in Syria.” Nothing a little “dialogue” won’t fix. Maybe Pope […]
Raymond Ibrahim: Pope Francis Tears at History’s Walls against Islam
Pope Francis continues to argue for two interrelated points that, while seemingly humane, compromise Western nations and expose their citizens to danger. He reiterated his first point earlier this month when he said, “I appeal not to create walls but to build bridges.” Francis has made this appeal frequently, both figuratively (when imploring Western nations […]
