It’s perfectly understandable that the Islamic State (ISIS) would want to murder the most prominent exponent of Christianity. After all, the notorious jihad terror group is trying to engulf us all in a global religious war. Yet at the same time, the Islamic State jihadis don’t seem to have thought this through. Pope Francis is one of the world’s foremost non-Muslim boosters of Islam. If the “Pope of Islam,” of all people, gets offed by Islamic jihadis, it might end up being bad for ISIS’ image — that is, outside of its fanbase of fellow bloodthirsty jihadis.
Those who were plotting to kill the pope, however, don’t seem to have been all that bright. They were only caught because they were overconfidently speaking freely online about their plot. The New York Post reported Monday that “suspects linked to ISIS plotted to attack Pope Francis during his trip to Indonesia — but were thwarted by their own online boasts.” Indonesian cops arrested seven jihad terrorists who had planned to kill the pope during his trip to that country. That trip wrapped up on Friday, and just days before that, “police seized bows and arrows, a drone and ISIS leaflets during raids of the suspects’ homes.”
And so the pope was not murdered in Indonesia, and the religion of Islam did not lose one of its best friends. The pope has a long record of whitewashing Islamic jihad violence and making moral equivalence arguments in order to downplay jihad terror. Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Cairo’s al-Azhar, has noticed the pope’s yeoman service for the Islamic cause and has thanked him for his “defense of Islam against the accusation of violence and terrorism.”
Francis is not just a defender of Islam but also a defender of the Sharia death penalty for blasphemy. Yes, seriously. After Islamic jihadists murdered the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists who had drawn Muhammad, Francis obliquely justified the murders by saying that “it is true that you must not react violently, but although we are good friends if [an aide] says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a punch, it’s normal. You can’t make a toy out of the religions of others. These people provoke and then (something can happen). In freedom of expression, there are limits.”
From all this, we can conclude that for the Pope, murdering people for violating Sharia blasphemy laws is “normal,” and it isn’t terrorism. “Christian terrorism does not exist, Jewish terrorism does not exist, and Muslim terrorism does not exist. They do not exist,” he said in a 2017 speech. “There are fundamentalist and violent individuals in all peoples and religions—and with intolerant generalizations they become stronger because they feed on hate and xenophobia.”
So there is no Islamic terrorism, but if you engage in “intolerant generalizations,” you can “expect a punch.” The Pope, like the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, apparently thinks that the problem is not jihad terror but non-Muslims talking about jihad terror; Muslims would be peaceful if non-Muslims would simply censor themselves and self-impose Sharia blasphemy restrictions regarding criticism of Islam.
Pope Francis has no patience with those who discuss such matters, saying: “I don’t like to talk about Islamic violence, because every day, when I read the newspaper, I see violence.” He added that he often saw stories in newspapers about Italians being violent. “They are baptized Catholics,” he insisted. “They are violent Catholics.” He concluded: “I believe it’s not fair to identify Islam with violence. It’s not fair and it’s not true.”
Yet the pontiff’s comparison made no sense, for Italian Catholics who behaved violently were not acting in accord with the teachings of their religion, while the Qur’an and Islamic teaching contain numerous exhortations to violence.
But Pope Francis, defender of Islam, cannot concern himself with such minutiae. Nor does he appear to be particularly concerned about the fact that all his false statements about the motivating ideology behind the massive Muslim persecution of Christians over the last few years only enable and abet that persecution, for if that ideology is not identified and confronted, it will continue to flourish.
Yet despite the pope’s long record of defending Islam from even the mildest scrutiny about how jihad violence can be stopped when it is justified in the Qur’an and by Muhammad’s example, ISIS still tried to kill him. As far as they’re concerned, an infidel is an infidel. The ingratitude, it stings.
This Pope is as authentic as a 3 Dollar Bill he is Satan’s Pope not Christs
“ISN’T IT IRONIC that Leftist Vampires, who always Cringe at the sight of a Crucifix, love this pOPE?” SC
A BIG WOW…. The number one issue for Democrats is the Right to have Abortions and the pOPE U.S. Catholics to vote “for the lesser of two evils.” He then referenced Kamala and Democrats: “ABORTION IS AN ASSASSINATION!”
Then he went off on Trump/Republicans: “Not welcoming immigrants is a sin!”
HERE’S MY COUNTER: “IMMIGRANTS from all over the world leave their countries due to the corruption and the lack of the Rule of Law, to come here, a country envied for its Rule of Law. LEGAL IMMIGRANTS stand in line to do it The Hard Way, The Long Way, The Right Way, and they’re very bitter at all the help given for the ILLEGAL WAY when there was no one to help them do it THE HONORABLE WAY! (Raising Right Hand to take the Pledge. What’s the Honor of doing, and helping, the Illegal Way?) ILLEGALS, and their supporters, including the government, DEMAND that we overlook our laws making us exactly like the CORRUPT AND LAWLESS COUNTRY THEY JUST LEFT!”
This pOPE didn’t give a crap when MUSLIMS WERE SLAUGHTERING CHRISTIANS… he instead invited these backward arse savages to the Vatican. They still went on rampages not caring about his overtures and appeasement!
pOPE: “ALL RELIGIONS HAVE THE SAME GOD.” Really… my God is the same as Allah. Fantastic…. looking forward to my 72 Virgins!
The pOPE preaches the Gospel of Marx!
“Vote for the lesser of two evils.” Okay: “If the race was between Kamala and the Devil, I would vote for the lesser of two evils… The Devil!”
A huge, Christian AMEN to that!
You definitely know it’s the “end of days” when the POPE is beginning to speak in words resembling those of Satan!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US.!!😢
Hope they don’t miss.
Wasn’t Francis some kind of talking mule or something?
Yes, but Francis was an ENTIRE MULE – not just the BACK END like the “pope”!
BOOM!!!!
I tried just posting the above but it would not let me unless I added more words. So I did…..
silly or what?
There was a series of movies and before Mr. Ed
I wish the islamist “religion-of-peace” had succeeded in blowing up that atheist pedophile.
The poetic justice would’ve been hard-core.
Isis are such morons They are plotting to kill Red Frances, the most pro muslim pope ever. What happens if they put an actual Catholic into the Vatican like John Paul II?
JP II was another stinking liberal destroyer of Catholicism. Kisser of the Koran, don’t ever forget.
How about a Pius V?!
Pope Prius the Hybrid ~
there’s a thought
Sorry you feel that way.
Robert,
Pardon my audacity, but I must insist that you not refer to the Holy Roman Poop as the “most prominent exponent of Christianity”.
The pope is not an exponent of Christianity at all. He’s a politcal hack dressed as a “Man of God”, and pushing communism / socialism.
Indeed. …
The most prominent exponent of Christianity was/is John the Baptist.
He is an exponent of Roman Catholicism not Christianity. Two very different things.
SINGAPORE (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Francis today told young people of different faiths that “every religion is a way to arrive at God,” urging them to continue inter-religious dialogue.
by Michael Haynes | Lifesite September 13th, 2024
Pope declared that each religion is a means to attain God, stating:
“Every religion is a way to arrive at God. There are different languages to arrive at God, but God is God for all. And how is God God for all? We are all sons and daughters of God. But my god is more important than your god, is that true?
There is only one God and each of us has a language to arrive at God. Sikh, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, they are different paths.”
Make Note: The Poop says “There is only one god”
…
Obviously… the satanic catholic fake church worships the fake god allah of satanic islam… and considers them one and the same…
catholicism is satanic !!!
Sumsrent please, Now is not the time to continue the Thirty Years war.
Yeah… we won’t have to worry about that… it’s all taken on a new direction now…
Is that like Commiemalala’s New Way Forward?
People still going to Catholic churches. People still going to Lutheran churches.
People not really giving a crap what you have to say.
Hey guess what, I found that Bema seat of yours. Guess where it was. In your bathroom? The MFG logo said the Bema-Matic. Motto….take deuce and confess your sins. Who knew that’s where it was.
Wow! You are one really ignorant fool…
The Bema Seat is God’s Holy Seat…
You making fun of it is stupid…
“Wow! You are one really ignorant fool…
The Bema Seat is God’s Holy Seat…
You making fun of it is stupid…”
Po wittle Sumsy. Got your knickers in a bundle don’t you.
You are the fool. It’s not the Bema seat I am making fun of. It’s you because you are such an easy target. No fun Sumsy….thinks he is doing God’s work on earth.
It’s your arrogance and pride that will be your undoing. It’s your inferiority and persecution complex, the incessant name calling and endless belittling of everyone who doesn’t kow tow to you and your silly end times theories.
Guess what…Home Depot is having a BOGO sale on the Bema-Matic. I’m heading over there right now.
People still going to Catholic churches. People still going to Lutheran churches.
People not really giving a crap what you have to say and without your approval.
I bet you are great fun at parties, huh?
You’re not making fun of me… you’re making fun of the One True God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob…
Additionally; the satanic catholic fake church has been closing down doors across the nation…
Selling their fake churches to satanic islam…
Besides… your satanic ELCA fake church is more a mosque… worshiping the fake god allah…
“You’re not making fun of me… you’re making fun of the One True God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob…”
No Sumsy, I really am making fun of you, because you are such a laughable, silly and childish specimen.
Your pathetic attempts to end Catholicism and Lutheranism are also amusing. In many ways you are a lot like THX. He hates Catholics and Lutherans too. And you are as ineffective and silly as he is.
All of those grand schemes from bitter angry people always come to nothing. I wonder why.
Well, I’m off to church to play music, make folks happy, pray, and enjoy some fellowship. But guess what, I won’t be praying for you because you are already in Hell, one of your own making.
You’re simply one messed up and confused individual…
I’m not trying to “end” satanic catholicism… neither your satanic ELCA fake church… not even trying to “end” satanic islam…
No one will be able to “end” any of them…
Only Christ Jesus… when He returns to put an “end” to it all…
The Day of The Lord… will put a stop to it all…
And… you are making fun of the One True God… and… the fake god allah isn’t the same God…
Get this…
1) The catholic fake church is satanic…
2) The ELCA fake church is satanic
3) Islam is satanic
All intertwined with you Intrepid… with the fake god allah…
Now go and confess your Nicene Creed and pronounce how the satanic catholic fake church is the “One holy church”…
While you’re a Lutheran…
What idiocy !!!
Intrepid… still waiting on you to give me the location of your satanic ELCA fake church so I can e-mail you False Teaching Pastor…
Be the Intrepid you pretend to be… the Brave Intrepid… the man of the hour… the brave man of the day… the hero…
Intrepid,
Sumsrent is still suffering from trauma of when told by the doctor that it is not the long prayed-for stigmata he had discovered on his body, but a hemorrhoid.
Please be easy on him,
Cheers
To Victor L.,
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, he is, or has, a hemorrhoid.
I think he downvoted you.
I wish comments wouldn’t run out of reply links after 3 or4 responses. Crummy comment platform.
Do you think I would be dumb enough to give you the address to my church. You are an unhinged, unbalanced, insane person who is so off the rails I think you would show up with an AR and start shooting up the place. So I will definitely not put my fellow parishioners at risk to a lowlife like you.
You always seem to associate me with Allah but you are the one always talking about him. I think you have a little woody for Allah, goats and Mohammed. I never talk about him. You really need to talk to someone about your morbid obsessions.
You remind me of the climate change nuts who are always predicting a climate disaster 10o-200 years in the future when we have all passed on. But they keep asking for our money now.
All the scare tactic stuff you are predicting always seems to happen after the Tribulation or when Christ returns, always in the future so you aren’t responsible for anything you blather about. You are basically a little soyboy coward.
If you aren’t trying to destroy the Catholics and the Lutherans may you should just shut up, leave us alone, and let Jesus sort it out. He will definitely sort you out as well.
Well, we had a wonderful service. Sang some great hymns and praise songs. The sermon was nice. Said the Nicene Creed,,,,a beautiful text. And the Lords Prayer. And, unlike you, everyone went home happy and fulfilled.
It’s a shame Christianity has so poisoned your mind that you are obsessed with Catholics and Lutherans. You are one miserable person. How’s that Beema-Bop-A-Looma seat working out for you anyway?
I see you are racking up those downvotes today. It seems no one likes your “message of hate and perfidy.”
Any Protestant that recites the Nicene Creed, where they confess [they] believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.”…
Is ignorant of what they’re saying…
Any Protestant that has a church that confesses the Nicene Creed needs to denounce that fake church and walk away, never to return…
Guess what Sumsy, Protestants don’t take direction or orders from a head case like you. Thank God.
They will continue to say the Nicene Creed and you can’t prevent it. Thank God.
I will say it again this weekend and you can’t prevent it. Thank God.
Actually, you can’t prevent anything. The only thing you get to do is whine like a little girl and have verbal temper tantrums. Sucks to be you.
“Bema Bop a Luma” she’s my baby, I don’t mean maybe, she’s my baby now.
Hey Intrepid,
I just discovered your post. I’m glad to hear that you too realize how traumatic must have been for Sumsie (sp?) to hear proctologist diagnosis about the true nature of his “stigmata”. Well, not everybody is born a saint. Some face derision, taunting, eggs-on-the-face and roaring ridicule on their via-dolorosa to sanctity. Sumsie-dunce is meeting all that heroically. And we are fortunate to be among the spectators and be royally amused.
But Intrepid, now to something quite different. Class, wit, sensibility and superb eloquence.

That woman is peerless. Please read.
Take care,
PS. “crummy platform”, indeed
To Victor L.
Thanks for the link. Fascinating article. Well written. Mullarkey espouses what I call “muscular Christianity”
This part struck me as what we need more of:
“Pope Pius V enjoined all Christians to pray. But not for peace. He called them to pray that the Holy League would sink the Ottoman fleet in the Ionian Sea. However many rosaries were recited during the largest naval battle in Western history, Christians were not appealing for an indeterminate peace. They were pleading, heart and soul, for a concrete victory over the Ottoman Empire and a decisive halt to Muslim incursions into Europe.”
Christians need more of that today. Let’s hope we find it when we get a new Pope.
Thanks again Bro’.
The company I buy armor from has a motto:
“No King But Christ”
They even have a patch that says that to affix to plate carriers.
This “Papa Frankie” is a man of the cloth, alright. Same cut of cloth that led directly and proximally to the Roman trashing of first the Temple in Jerusalem, then continuing on to the rest of Jerusalem, laying it total waste and desolation for miles around. .
Such were the “religious” Zealot sect of the day…. the very ones stirred up the crowd to demand the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth back in 63 or so.
ISLAM – the terrorist culture of death and hate.
perhaps we now know why the pope has not spoken out against the genocide of christians and murder of jews. he knows they’re coming for him and that could inhibit his path to sainthood as taken by
pope john paul II.
Is The Pope that vain ? To think that he will become a Saint!
He is a liar & deceitful person. He loves Islam & will tell no amount of lies to protect it, whilst Muslims around
the world are murdering 900,000 Christians, have been ‘martyred’ in the last decade, equating to 90,000 a year and one every six minutes. And what does Franki say about this…… The silence is deafening.
The Pope is a fraud, he is a son of Satan.
It seems odd that a people who are so adept at assassination and terrorism have become all talk and no action toward their cheerleader, Pope Francis. An attempt at polishing his reputation among gullible infidels?
Francis is one of Satan’s “useful idiots”…
In his recent trip to Singapore he reportedly told some children that all religions are equally valid pathways to God. Notably and conveniently he did not address the glaring contradiction offered by Jesus; “No man cometh onto the Father but through me”
Other religions may offer a path upward toward the divine but at the top of the ‘mountain’ stands the Christ and he holds the only key to the doorway to the divine. Francis being blind leads his followers into “the ditch”.
Supporting ideological filth like Harris—and her despicable Party—is, in itself, unchristian.
“Oh G-d, you made men from the dust and clay of the earth, and upon your creation they built empires and nations. But tell me why oh G-d….why did you give me a manure pile to build with?!”
–Papa Widow, Black Widows; Clint Eastwoods “Any Which Way You can”–
I wish I could help you out here Papa, but I think the answer to that question is bigger than all of us!
Francis is a South American (SA) Liberation Theologian, which, as a doctrine originated there during the turbulent 1950s when Marxism was making great inroads among the SA poor because of its emphasis on social justice, and especially the redistribution of wealth allowing the poor peasants there to share in the wealth of the colonial elites, and thus upgrade their economic status in life. Liberation Theology is largely a humanistic doctrine which attempts to interpret scripture through the plight of the poor and has always had a strong Marxist flavor, which is where Francis’s doxy is tied. As a theology it has very strong Roman Catholic roots.
“Dust” is what the One True Living God used to make man… according to the Holy Scriptures…
“Clay” is what the fake god allah of satanic islam used to make man… according to the satanic quran…
Obviously the movie you referenced didn’t have writers who were knowledgeable of Holy Scriptures… but instead… were considering satanic islam…
I believe you may have gotten ISIS’s motivation entirely wrong. Islamists hate Communists as much as we do.
Francis’ spiritual mentor was Dom Helder Camara, the famous “Red Bishop of Recife.” As a Marxist/Liberation Theologist, he taught Francis many evil things. It fits. As a Marxist who does not believe in God, why not say that all religions are the same patch to God and use them to promote forced global socialism through mass migration?
