The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has named Pope Francis as its number one enemy and has criticized the Catholic Church leader for pursuing "dialogue with moderate Islam."
In its monthly publication Dabiq, ISIS described Pope Francis as a "non-believer" and accused him of defending homosexuals. The terror group previously released a video illustrating the end of the world, which suggests that the group is planning to assassinate the pontiff, The Express reports.
Despite the threats from ISIS, Pope Francis previously refused to heed advice to wear a bulletproof vest because he did not want to lose contact with the people. The threat prompted the Vatican to ramp up security around the city.
In the latest rant from ISIS, the militant group slammed the Pope for "seeking dialogue with moderate Islam" including Arab preacher Ahmed al-Tayeb of the Islamic university Al-Azhar in Cairo, Egypt. The Islamic State accused the imam of apostasy and criticized him for calling Christianity a "faith of love and peace."
Meanwhile, Chaldean Patriarch Mar Louis Raphaël Sako told Asia News that the threats against Pope Francis are part of the group's propaganda to pressure the West. He explained that ISIS does not understand the difference between the secular state and Christianity, which is represented by the Vatican.

I guess ISIS hasn’t got the memo yet that he’s actually their friend.
Some despise their friends more than they despise their enemies.
HO, HO, Ho....well Mr. ‘False Prophet’ what do you say now?
Thinking kissing butt with the enemies are going to save you from getting raped, and your head cut off? Don’t think so now...
You are the worse thing that happened to the Catholic Church in years...go away, and bring back a REAL POPE!!!
Benjamin Franklin once said that he had studied the problem of achieving perfection through mastery of a set of virtues but decided it was impossible because if he ever master humility he would be immensely proud of himself and thus ruin it.
I think Francis takes immense pride in his own humility. He's very showy about it, even when it makes no actual sense. The only people he would lose contact with by wearing a bullet proof vest under his robes would be people trying to shoot him. But no, good chance to brag about how much of a man of the people he is.
I guess Francis will have to double up on his “I love Muslims” rhetoric.
You would have figured he would have been made ISIS enemy #1 because he is the leader of the infidel faith against Islam, not seeking talks with moderates? The gall!!
And we will be having none of this “faith of love and peace” stuff either.
If his Mudslime buddies pop this traitor to Western Civilization, it will be poetic justice.
Stupid pope doesn;t realize that just because you’re nice to them they won’t hate you any less.
ouch.....
Yep, he’s into virtue signaling just like any other leftist.
Useful idiot would be a better descriptor.
That there is right funny!!!
Which only demonstrates how truly demented Isis really is.
Patriarch Sako is another naive Christian leader like Pope Francis, who doesn't grasp fundamental Islam.
Does he believe Muhammad, and the Caliphs following Muhammad got Islam wrong? - Tom
I would agree that this current “pope” is the enemy of Christianity.
The unanimous Pope-trashing here is uncalled for and misses the point entirely, that the leader for the Catholic faith has a death sentence from the rogue terrorist ISIS.
Who’s side are you on?
The “leader of the Catholic Faith” needs to be Catholic.
