Following the bomb attacks at four hotels, one housing complex, and three Christian churches in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday -- 290 killed, over 500 injured -- officials there said they believe a radical Islamist group was responsible. Twenty-four suspects are now in custody, according to news reports. Cardinal Robert Sarah, a high-ranking official at the Vatican and a potential future Pope, denounced the "terrible attacks" and declared, "I condemn this barbaric Islamist violence."

Whoa!
Whoah! He said The “I” word!!!
Why oh why can’t we have a pope like this guy instead of Jorge the Humble, useful idiot of the global left?
“I condemn this barbaric Islamist violence.”

Ruh Roh Indeed. Pope Frankie is going to get a papal butthurt with comments like these.
He’ll probably get a call from pope-uh-dope to set him straight.
Hey Jorge, step down and let this guy have a whack at it.
He said ISLAMIST, oh oh, the commie left is going to go after him with the “Hey not all Muslims are Jihadists etc etc” yet whenever a white guy does a shooting its “All white people are evil” from the same commies
Well, as a Catholic, I will be praying PALENTY that this IS OUR NEXT POPE.
And sooner than later.
I hate to say that money talks, even when it involves religious institutes, but if Catholics collectively CUT BACK donations in protest of the communist pope, it COULD have an effect on whom is elected next.
Or maybe not. I don’t know how much they count on our donations.
That and clean up the pedophile/gay mafia ring.
Just because we love something doesn’t mean we should be blind to its wrongs or flaws.
My wife reminds me of that every day :)
Uh oh, Papa Francis isn’t going to be pleased with Cardinal Sarah. He done said something bad about the peaceful Mooslems.
Backlash over that statement will be coming soon from the MSM muzzie defenders.
Mark Steyn recently described this disparity in perception as: “All jihad is local, but all “Islamophobia” is global.”
The balance scales of perception aren’t honest. Folks are putting their thumbs on one side. Naturally the Muslims try to paint themselves as victims ... but ...
There are non-Muslims who put their thumbs on the same side of the scales as the Muslim Brotherhood does but they do so for reasons entirely unrelated to Islam or Sharia. One bunch that does this are the Woke and those like them which see life through the lens of some reputed imbalance of power between “the whites” or “European civilization” or even “Christians” (note: culturally influenced by Christianity is enough) which are assumed to have this mythic power and thus are the oppressors and put near everyone else that is assumed to not have this attribute and are therefore are the oppressed.
These nitwits on the Left imagine Muslims are among the oppressed, ignoring centuries worth of facts about Islam in the process.
Being a victim can give one an excuse in the eyes of such people if someone ever acts up. Thus we found, on the next day after 9/11, Ivy League nitwits who couldn’t bring themselves to describe what the terrorists had done as evil.
But on the other side of the coin anything that is done by anyone in a group that is reputed to have this mythic power is seen as validation of the whole proposition of that group as oppressors. The only escape for someone in such a group is to parrot correct thinking, and then they can pat themselves on the back that they aren’t the bad people.
So the same folks who can even go so far as to separate the Jihad from the Jihadi can have little difficulty using others to smear whole swaths of the population just because they have some tenuous and entirely involuntary association because of their race, ethnicity or their culture.
Just as you said.
“Islamist” meaning “terrorist”. They’re one in the same in every case.
‘I condemn this barbaric Islamist violence’
Wanna bet the muzzy-loving pope tells the cardinal to shut up?
Oh, no, that’s off the reservation.
no longer a potential pope?
The Catholic Church would do well to replace the current “Pope” with this brutally honest, holy man.
When is the smoke going up to get this guy in there? What’s his stance on molester priests?
No...some people did something... no Muslims involved here.
