But is anybody listening to the Pope anymore?

(Since April 24) More than 2.8 million people have already attended encounters and Masses with Benedict XVI in the Eternal City.

The average number of pilgrims who have participated in audiences, liturgical celebrations and the Angelus is greater than that recorded for these types of meetings with Pope John Paul II at this point in the Polish Pontiff's pontificate.

Benedict XVI Drawing Big Crowds

And then, of course, there was this reaction from the seminarians studying in Rome, when Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was announced as the new pontiff.

Some reporters in the msm have declared Benedict XVI to be an 'interim' pope. JPII outlived many of those who predicted his death beginning 20 years ago. Benedict XVI will do the same.

See how the entire world is arrayed against Israel, yet they are powerless against the One True GOD's covenant.

Not the entire world. Not yet at least.

How to kill it! That's what we need to know.

Pretty tough work. It has millions of true believers, and it uses deadly force against opposing views whenever it can get away with it.

I suggest loudly exposing and forcefully opposing its violent oppression of other faiths. Combined with increasing the Christian missionaries to Islamic areas (there are now only about three per million Muslims, it is a very hazardous undertaking).

Samir Khalil Samir emphasizes how before Mohammed the Arab Jews and Christians called their God by the name of Allah

This is still true amongst Christians in the Middle East. The word "Allah" means God in Arabic.

Ping bump!

This article is about "Christianity and Islam in History" Why is it so vitally important to bring the long suffering jews into every possible article posted here?

Whine,whine,whine

Next, we'll be talking about the NFL and you'll somehow plug the holocaust into the discourse. No Tel Aviv franchise? After all we went through in 1492, we should have an NFL franchise.

Whine, whine, whine!

The reason it must be brought up is because the Church of Rome has very little moral authority to condemn Islam of conversion by force, and oppression of other faiths.

And what Chirac seems to misunderstand is that France WOULD be Muslim if not for Charles Martel. It is only the recent immigration of Muslims that has caused French culture to be influenced by Islam "as much as Christianity," but for well over 1100 years, it was Christian ALONE...

All I can say is Praise the Lord, and thank Him for His grace in Blessing us with Cardinal Ratzinger/Benedictus XVI to follow Cardinal Wotylja/Johannus Paulus Magnus.

After this, the Deluge?

I would amend the latter part pf the phtase to "blast them to perdition".

Thanks for the ping.

This article is yet more proof that Islam is an evil cancer that seeks to destroy the world.

[AmericanArchConservative]

WTH?

You CANNOT be serious?!

For starters, how about because it is PRIMARILY the Torah, which "m'hammad, the wicked and perverse" twisted and revised, and it was mainly the Jews he (and those who have followed him) sought to convert, kill and/or destroy, precisely because they knew their own religion, history and the character of their own G-D well enough to put the lie to his utter and unforgivable blasphemies

How about a follow-up?

Further it is because the Christian world (whether we have acknowledged it consistently or not) has always stood upon the foundation of Judaism, dependent upon their forefathers because they are OURS also...their history is part of ours - right up to and including the Jewish carpenter whom m'hammadans have always insisted was: ONLY a prophet (lesser than m'hammad), NOT the Son of G-D, NEVER CRUCIFIED, NEVER RESURRECTED...

And they have sought the same end for Christians they do for Jews. Despite their public face of calling us "people of the book" we are blasphemers and heretics in THEIR book, both on equal footing en route to the chopping block.

Your sarcastic regard for the suffering the Jews have always endured from m'hammadans - and still endure today from the pali-slime moslem bombers - is not only unattractive, it is really, IMHO, patently unwelcome.

I say: Christians for Jews and Jews for Christians. USA, Australia, and the UK for Israel, and Israel for all of us!

"The Final Crusade has commenced - Rise! Christian Warrior and stoutly defend the Jew; Rise! Jewish Warrior and stoutly defend the Christian!"

"The Final Crusade has commenced - Rise! Christian Warrior and stoutly defend the Jew; Rise! Jewish Warrior and stoutly defend the Christian!"

Amen!

The word "Allah" means God in Arabic.

Hi and Happy New Year, NYer.

The spiritual force behind islam is not the Allah of any Christian. The allah of islam is, or reports directly to, the Prince of Darkness...hence his directive to kill Christians and Jews.

IMHO, of course.

[Hill of Tara]

"The spiritual force behind islam is not the Allah of any Christian. "

Yes, I absolutely love it when all of the Muslim lovers claim that "Islam is the religion of peace" and "God is allah in arabic."

allah (not capitalized, all take note!) might be the arab word for God, but Christians and muslims sure as heck dont worship the same God.

The muslim's precious allah offers the opportunity to rape 72 virgins. The muslims precious allah tells the muslims to kill all the infidels.

As you said, Islam is the religion of darkness.

Anyone who thinks allah is the God of Christianity or Judaism is either completely uninformed as to what they are talking about or they are lying.

Islam delenda est!

Good job, Hill of Tara. Happy New Year...and keep bringing that sharp wit to FR. You're a good addition to our little army.
