ISIS Threatens Pope Francis – Italy On Alert

Today there are reports that ISIS is targeting Pope Francis, the leader of the Catholic Church. CBS Local reported:

A new report claims that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is targeting Pope Francis — a report that the Vatican says is simply not true.

According to Il Tempo, Israeli sources reportedly told the Italian newspaper that the pope is “in the crosshairs of ISIS.” The report stated that Francis is being targeted because he is “the greatest exponent of the Christian religions” and the “bearer of false truth.”

The Vatican, though, denounced the report.

The symbol of Christianity is Jesus Christ, but otherwise yes, I expect Francis is well protected.

It’s quite possible that IS is just crazy enough to
attempt to assassinate the pope in hopes of starting
the final struggle.

Daniel 11:40-43 The King of the South shall push at the King of the north...

Does Europe have one more Crusade left in them?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

We definitely need another one.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

No offense, but the beheading and crucifixion of Christans is clarifying what their goals are. Not to mention other bombings on Western interests through the years.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

No, I’m afraid. They’ve been infiltrated with Marxists and Muslims......and, in most cases, allowed it.

[HerrBlucher]

Or Barry McGuire.

Doesn’t the Swiss Guard have the security for the Vatican? If so, I understand they are like special forces.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Very true.

I really don’t know, but, no doubt others on here will.

[SpeakerToAnimals]

Bombing the Pope might unite Europe.

[luvie]

They are special forces with funny uniforms. :)

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

You may be right, and it would be a shame if that is what it takes.

[LadyDoc]

It's not the first time.

An Islamic hitman hired by communist Bulgaria shot JP2, and later alquaeda planned to car bomb him when he visited Manila in the early 1990s. And Pope Francis is due here in Manila in the near future.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I know what you’re trying to say here, but Jesus Christ is the HEAD of the Church. He is not a symbol, He’s the ultimate reality.

[SkyPilot]

Who am I to judge?

[depressed in 06]

WTF ISIS, the Pope has no army.

[huldah1776]

If the head of ISIS learned anything from Al-Zawahiri it was that when you make a direct threat, hit another target.

[Kackikat]

LOL...yeah but I hear they can fight. Very funny.
