ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (Reuters) - Pope Francis said on Sunday that equating Islam with violence was wrong and called on Muslim leaders to issue a global condemnation of terrorism to help dispel the stereotype.

Francis, the leader of 1.2 billion Roman Catholics, told reporters aboard his plane returning from a visit to Turkey that he understood why Muslims were offended by many in the West who automatically equated their religion with terrorism.

Francis' predecessor, Benedict XVI, caused storms of protest throughout the Islamic world in 2006, when he made a speech that suggested to many Muslims that he believed Islam espoused violence. ...

Yes, and then have scores if out hundreds of innocent Christians massacred while we enjoy the comforts of our living. Wonder who the cowards are?

“This current pope is showing signs of being a nit wit progressive.”

Showing signs? I think it is a done deal.

Still the Pope, we are fighting the jihadis, and have been. What has the dope done but strengthen our enemy?

” This current pope is showing signs of being a nit wit progressive.

Sounds like the definition of a Jesuit, which Pope Francis is. “

I had only 2 Jesuits at BC. Both were communists.

Pope says it is wrong to equate Islam with violence

 

 

 

 

Surah 5:33

 

Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,

 

 

 Hadith - 9.57

 

Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to 'Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn 'Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's Apostle forbade it, saying, 'Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire).' I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Apostle, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.' "

The pope is impotent, and Mary is dead.

This current pope is showing signs of being a nit wit progressive.

So?

Big deal!

Rome has suffered through worst than this before...

Pope Stephen VI (896–897), who had his predecessor Pope Formosus exhumed, tried, de-fingered, briefly reburied, and thrown in the Tiber.^[1]

Pope John XII (955–964), who gave land to a mistress, murdered several people, and was killed by a man who caught him in bed with his wife.

Pope Benedict IX (1032–1044, 1045, 1047–1048), who "sold" the Papacy

Pope Boniface VIII (1294–1303), who is lampooned in Dante's Divine Comedy

Pope Urban VI (1378–1389), who complained that he did not hear enough screaming when Cardinals who had conspired against him were tortured.^[2]

Pope Alexander VI (1492–1503), a Borgia, who was guilty of nepotism and whose unattended corpse swelled until it could barely fit in a coffin.^[3]

Pope Leo X (1513–1521), a spendthrift member of the Medici family who once spent 1/7 of his predecessors' reserves on a single ceremony^[4]

Pope Clement VII (1523–1534), also a Medici, whose power-politicking with France, Spain, and Germany got Rome sacked.

islamist Pope?

[Elsie]

I think a lot of Catholics will leave and become Christian then, but it’s a sore topic for a lot of people.

I think you are right; considering how many Catholics in THIS thread appear to want to be a pope!

[Elsie]

It certainly isn’t a blue jay.

Oh?

An Evolutionist would give you a good fight over THIS statement!

[jersey117]

Not too bright. If he got rid of his security detail, he’d find out just how peaceful they are.

When I was young, that Jewish man in the wheelchair was pushed off an ocean liner by jihadists. So I asked my mom about it and she got me a copy of the Koran so I might understand Islam - the motivating factor or culture of jihad/murder/hate. I could not believe what I read - it was so violent and up-side-down.

There is no doubt that Allah is not God. He’s an evil god. It was like my mom bought me a horror movie. LOL
The heads full of mush who protest along side Islam should be made to read the Koran. If the Pope has actually read the Koran and still calls allah the Christian’s God, God help him.

[MeshugeMikey]

“...called on Muslim leaders to issue a global condemnation of terrorism to help dispel the stereotype.....”

oh yes that will be wonderful...

start the countdown clock NOW

tick tock tick tock

Wait, wait, wait! The Pope is only infallible when he speaks ex cathedra! Haven't you heard? Any other time he is a gibbering idiot, but ex cathedra he is perfect.

[Bulwyf]

That’s like saying you can be Christian in a mosque or a Buddhist temple or a JW synagogue. That’s not the way Christians operate.

“I’ve had it with this pope. He’s a disgrace.”

I got banned from posting on EWTN’s Facebook site for saying pretty much the same thing - although my comments were much stronger.

I didn’t swear or threaten but still got banned.

[MplsSteve]

“The pope is from Mars.”

He’s a Jesuit - IOW, a religious Communist.

[novemberslady]

Shame on him for lying about islam.

[ScottinVA]

Also, this Pope also today called the Koran a “prophetic book of peace.”

My question is... What part preaches “peace” the most? Would it be:

Quran (2:191-193) - “And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief] is worse than killing...

or...

Quran (3:56) - “As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.”...

or this most “peaceful” of passages...

Quran (8:12) - “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.”

The Cardinals picked a real winner this time around.

Too bad the Cards can’t take a mulligan and reinstate Pope Benedict. He at least knew and understood existential threats to humanity. Francis hasn’t a friggin’ clue.

[ScottinVA]

Those popes apparently took that “infallibility” title a little far.

[caww]

...” Pope Francis said on Sunday that equating Islam with violence was wrong “....

The Catholic leadership are Globalist’s in every sense of the word and fully in bed with the political powers that be.....they have been for decades....this is simply continuing with the agenda as we know.

I get a kick out of catholics who somehow think Francis is doing this as if something new for the leadership. Francis is simply carrying on with the “job” the Popes before him were also doing......he's just got more pressure to get it done as the Globalist elite's are ahead of schedule currently.

But of course if the Pope says Islam is not violent...well then we're all just seeing things I guess...LOLOL
