Hugh Fitzgerald: Pope Francis: Islam and Christianity Share “the Idea of Conquest”
Jihad Watch ^ | May 19, 2016 | Hugh Fitzgerald

Posted on 05/20/2016 6:46:03 AM PDT by detective

Pope Francis continues to astonish. He has just said, in an interview with the French Catholic paper La Croix, that “the idea of conquest is inherent to the soul of Islam.” As far as his understanding of Islam goes, this is a marked improvement over his disturbing statement, back in November 2013, that the “Koran is a book of peace” and “Islam is a peaceful religion.” Now he at last recognizes – how could he not, after yet another year of Muslim bombs and bloodletting all over the place? – that Islam has something to do with “conquest,” that is, spreading Islam by conquering non-Muslim lands. He must have been doing some reading, possibly even learning more about the life and works of that prophet and warlord, Muhammad.

"Is it really too much for the Pope to describe the differences between conducting Jihad and spreading the Gospel? Is it beyond him to proclaim the role of Christianity in Europe’s history, without sounding “triumphalist or even vengeful” or smuggling in “colonialist overtones”?"

Pope Francis regularly praises Islam as the religion of peace. He regularly attacks and condemns any faithful Catholic who tries to defend and protect his faith.

There is genocide being committed by Muslims against Catholics. Catholics are routinely being tortured, raped and murdered in the middle east.

Pope Francis is aiding and abetting this genocide. He is actively working to ensure that more Christians live in terror and are massacred.

Pope Francis is an evil man. He is not a man of God. He is not a Catholic. He is helping to destroy the church and the people that he pretends to lead.

It appears this Pope truly does not appreciate the difference between the material and the spiritual. Which makes you wonder if he truly believes at all.

More important question: Is the Pope a Christian?

Islam has “conquest” as a basic way to ‘spread the faith.’ Jesus never talked about spreading His Word by military force. That the Spaniards decided to spread Christianity by conquest was not “authorized” by Jesus, but came after several centuries of driving the ‘Moors’ aka Moslems, out of Spain. The expelling the last of the Moors coincided with Columbus’ discover of the Americas. Spain sent its warriors over there and they continued their ‘way’ of spreading the faith and gaining new land for the King and Queen of Spain.

Cannot believe the pope is nutty as the Obumster, but here we are...Lord walked, preached with his dozen guys.

Mo Ham Med, as soon as he had a bunch of wackos following him, went North and eliminated an entire village/tribe..Jews of course...and his followers continued killing for the next 1300 years !!
