IS THE POPE IGNORANT OF ISLAMIC JIHAD?

Andrew Strattaford reports:

The day after an elderly Catholic priest is butchered in his church by Islamic extremists, Pope Francis offers up his explanation (my emphasis added):

ABC:

Pope Francis says the world is at war, but is stressing that it’s not a war of religions.  Francis spoke to reporters on the papal plane en route from Rome to Poland, where he began a five-day visit Wednesday. Asked about the slaying of an 85-year-old priest in a Normandy church on Tuesday, Francis replied: “the real word is war…yes, it’s war.  This holy priest died at the very moment he was offering a prayer for all the church.”

He went on: “I only want to clarify, when I speak of war, I am really speaking of war … a war of interests, for money, resources. … I am not speaking of a war of religions, religions don’t want war. The others want war.”

Let’s look at the Independent’s account of the murder of Father Hamel:

One of the terrorists had a handgun and began to shout “Allah Akbar” and the other had a fake bomb with a timer… They then gave a “sermon in Arabic” at the altar.

That looks like an act of religious war to me.

And as for the Pope’s claim that “religions don’t want war”, I can only suggest that he spend more time with the history books and, for that matter, some of the less benign passages in various sacred texts. 

Me: To that sugGestion I can only agree.  What do we have here?  A Roman Catholic leader who has not studied Islamic texts related to jihad?

This is truly chilling.    John Stonestreet for Breakpoint reports:

In 2007, Iowa enacted a law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The law applies to what are known as “public accommodations.”

Now federal law typically considers “public accommodations” to be facilities like restaurants, hotels, movie theaters, retail establishments, and parks.

But recently, the Iowa Civil Rights Commission added something atypical to that list: church services.

ISLAM JUSTIFIES KILLING INFIDELS

Is terrorism caused by poverty and lack of education?  No.   The six jihadis who stormed the cafe in Bangladesh were wealthy and well-educated.  They studied in private schools and universities and not in seminaries or madrassas.  They turn to jihad because their prophet said jihad is the greatest thing in the world: Sahih Buckari 2785, 2787, 2795, 2796,  2797   Qur'an Sura 9, verse 111  "Believers kill others, and are killed."  Watch the video below.

 

Note: YouTube bans video on Muslim Brotherhood, Sharia, and Civilizational Jihad as "hate speech."  This is perfectly ridiculous.  Click through to find out more, or just keep reading.
