If you want to try to convert Muslims, head on over to Muslim countries where Christianity is illegal. Don’t bring them all here because it isn’t working.
I was just thinking that it all meant #2.
Jihadists shall NEVER meet Christ, either now or in the afterlife. But some of them knocking at the door will send off their hosts to that very rendezvous. And of course, consider that their own ticket into Paradise.
I do not think that Islam has quite the same picture of Paradise that Christians may have.
The Islamic Paradise was well described by the Italian poet Dante, in the settings of the Inferno and the Purgatory. They never get as far as the Christian version of Paradise.
You believe in Jesus?
Yes, I do.
Well, you're going to meet him.
>>IIRC, Christians believe they meet Christ in Heaven....<<
If someone knocks on my door with bad intent they will indeed have that opportunity immediately.
Whether or not it occurs up there is beyond my pay grade.
The Pope is right though. Every Muslim terrorist who comes to the West is an opportunity for numerous decent people to meet Jesus Christ - earlier than they expected.

31,632 deadly terrorist attacks since 9/11. That’s a lot of innocents who met Jesus thanks to those who are following the Pope’s advice.
It seems outrageous to have to say this about the pontiff. I am a fundamentalist, semi-charismatic protestant Christian. But to hear THIS pontiff say something like that, reminds me of this: “Religion and patriotism are the last refuge of scoundrels.”
Google Papal history. Some really bad Pope’s during those times.
I have serious doubts that Pope Francis is a Christian, let alone a Catholic.
The commies who shoot them down would love him even more than they did McCain.
thats how I read it. They are going to hasten our deaths.
I hate this Pope.
Unskilled Third World aliens may not all be a threat, or even most. Then again, neither are they a benefit.
I’m not even remotely a Catholic but I really liked JP2.
This current guy is a f’ing clown.
JP2 was a brilliant, compassionate, courageous man who’d seen his people invaded and overrun by socialists - National and International.
He knew the evil up close and personal and resolved to play the part he was handed to help stop it.
This current person evidently embraces what JP2 fought to stop. He does not speak for me.
Jesus Christ did not move in with everybody whose door he knocked at. He brought more than he received.
Nobody can be "saved," their names are either in The Book Of Life, or they are not.
Spare me the self-aggrandizing hystrionics, Christ's work on The Cross is done, for all who believe.
At face value,the Pope is generally correct but his contradictions are severe and delusional. The Pope’s statement is not indicative of this Pope’s Marxist ideology,capitulation to Islam,open borders and globalist nonsense.
They may indeed meet their maker. But it might not necessarily be Jesus Christ.
Of course they will, at Judgement Day and when they die at their own judgement.
