Patriarch of Antioch: Muslims Want to Conquer Europe with ‘Faith and the Birthrate’
Breitbart ^ | November 6, 2015 | Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.

Posted on 11/12/2015 1:06:10 AM PST by BlessedBeGod

In a stunning interview, the Maronite patriarch of Antioch, Cardinal Bechara Boutros al-Rahi, has contended that Islam has a clear, two-pronged strategy to take over Europe: religion and procreation.

The cardinal said that Muslims look on Christians as weak and believe that since they have no children and barely practice their faith, Islam will easily conquer them. Sadly, he said, Muslims take their faith more seriously than most Christians, and they are gaining ground because of it.

"I have often heard from Muslims that their goal is to conquer Europe with two weapons: their faith and their birthrate," al-Rahi said...

For the Muslims..."the practice of the faith is essential and fundamental. In Saudi Arabia they go to Friday prayers even if they need a walking stick. They know the Koran by heart, and when they talk they often cite it. The same is not true for Christians who do not refer either to the Bible or the teachings of the Church."

The Muslims "believe that God's will is to procreate and that marriage is aimed at this," he said. "They think that numbers will give them the upper hand."

Christians, however, "hardly get married anymore, and have few children..."

"The first thing to do...is end the war in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Palestine...European states quarrel with each other about the number of refugees to be admitted but do nothing to end the conflict...Europe should focus on the cause of migration...the war. You have to turn off the tap and ensure that Muslims and Christians will return to their lands."

"A Middle East without Christians...has no identity."

"This is the place of all divine revelation. It is where Jesus took flesh, died, and rose again. It is where the Church was born and began to proclaim the Gospel to the world..."

Abortion “rights,” widespread acceptance of homosexuality, longstanding governmental hostility to Christianity, moral equivalence, have all combined to so weaken Europe such that their ages old enemy can just walk in to enslave them.

Across the Atlantic, the President of the United States leads a similar invasion. The man constitutionally charged with national defense works to destroy our nation. Like the Ferguson and Mizzou animals, his blackness is his protection from criticism and prosecution. It is what positively protects him from the end he deserves.

But we do not yet have to genuflect before the animals. We are not yet slaves to the new order. There is an out, but it isn't through national elections alone that we can save ourselves.

WRONG!

The cause is ISLAM; an ideology of conquest, genocide, rape, slavery, torture, and brutal oppression.

Well, the war is caused by Muslims who are Islamic...but that is splitting hairs.

Look, 8 years ago when the dreaded Bush was in office, there were Muslims there but there was NOT the massive migration.

Why? Because there was a PLAN to keep a lid on the kooks.

Now, the USA gov’t is working overtime to let the kooks run free.

Telling Israel to go back to 1967 borders
Letting Iran have nukes
Pulling out of Afghanistan
Pulling out of Iraq
Supporting Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt
Supporting Al Qaeda in Libya

Team Valerie has told Obama to do all these things, and he has obeyed her. All to the detriment of the region.

Bush wasn’t perfect, but he didn’t do all this crap. He opposed it.

Too bad Bush hasn’t spoken out against these ignorant actions. Only Dick Cheney.

This is true and nothing new. Christianity is waning, more in Europe than in the USA, but waning nonetheless.

The Muslim strategy is sound, worked quite well in Lebanon that was once a Christian nation, but the leftists encouraged the immigration of Muslims. Now Lebanon is a Muslim nation, or well on its way to being so.

IMO Europe has been lost to Sharia Law, i.e, too far down that "slippery slope," but there is hope for America.

I can’t follow your advice on this. I am a Christian and will pray and work for their conversion. ;-)

Not all of Europe.

I predict that within the next 10 years many of the old Eastern Bloc nations, even Poland, will turn to alliance with Russia for their own protection.

God did not teach the House of Israel to lay down and DIE.
He taught them how to defend themselves, and LEAD them during times of WAR.
Read your Bible.
