Pope congratulates Boko Haram?

[nickcarraway]

Why just Nigerian Muslims?

[lightman]

“Peaceful” = code word from “abstain from Jihad”.

Very subtle encouragement to Muslims to make their fasting month more like Christian Lent.

In his prayer, the Catholic pontiff said: “I am pleased to send you, in the name of all Catholics around the world, best wishes for a peaceful and joyful celebration of ‘Id el-Fitr. May your fasting, prayer, almsgiving, help to the poor, visits to family members and to friends enrich your lives.”

You do not speak for me TYVM.

Christians and Muslims, according to their respective religious traditions, look at God and relate with Him as being the Truth. Our life and behaviour as believers should reflect such conviction,” he said.

As believers?

He has a special Crush...on their type...a fixation if you will.... a FETISH sort of a deal.

[MeshugeMikey]

I have something to SHARE with them at Ramadan!!

This is nothing new.

This pope speaks for me:

“I vow to… exalt the true Faith, and to extirpate the diabolical sect of the reprobate and faithless Mahomet [Islam] in the East.” - Pope Callixtus III

[Cicero]

From the Washington Post:

[Pope] Benedict dug up an obscure 14th-century dialogue between a long-forgotten Byzantine Christian emperor, Manuel II Paleologus, and a Persian scholar, about the concept of violence in Islam.

“Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached,” Benedict quoted the emperor as saying to his Islamic interlocutor.

And then Benedict apologized for it.

I know many Freepers here are anti-Catholic, so this will likely offend some of you. That said, I am going to offer a prayer:

To the My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Blessed Saint John Paul II, who now reside in Heaven, please cleanse the person who now sits on the throne of Peter from the evil that dwells within him.

[piusv]

Um, JPII kissed a Koran.

[piytar]

I did not know that. Sigh.

[super7man]

I call, “The Pope is a double dog dare nut case.”

[piusv]

I am surprised you did not know this.

Yeah, I feel your pain.

[Paladin2]

Is that a typo?

[piusv]

Oh and he also asked that Saint John the Baptist to protect Islam in 2000:

"May Saint John Baptist protect Islam and all the people of Jordan, and all who participated in this celebration, a memorable celebration."
