Pope Leo XIV is turning out to be a worthy successor of the late Pope Francis, whose admiration for Islam seemed limitless. As he was returning to Rome after his recent trip to Lebanon, Pope Leo called upon Christians to stop regarding Islam as a threat, and to make friends with Muslims. And really, what could possibly go wrong?
The French-language Le Parisien reported Tuesday that Leo said that Christians should be “less afraid” of Islam, and called upon Christians and Muslims to work on “living together” and establish “friendship.” He invoked Lebanon, where the Christian population has been steadily diminishing for decades in the face of sparsely reported persecution from Muslims, as an example of how Christians and Muslims “in Europe or North America” could live together in peace.
“Perhaps,” the pontiff continued, “we should be a little less fearful and look for ways to promote authentic dialogue and respect. I know that, in practice, this has not always been the case. I know that fears persist in Europe.” He was speaking of European Christians fearing Muslims, while saying nothing about the sharp rise in rape and other crimes, as well as jihad activity, that has accompanied the Muslim migrant influx into Europe.
As far as Pope Leo was concerned, the only problem worth noting in Europe was the native populations’ xenophobia. The fears, he said, were “often fueled by people opposed to immigration who seek to exclude those who come from another country, another religion, or another ethnic background.” He said that Christians should be “working together” with Muslims to make “dialogue and friendship” a reality, and added: “I think that one of the great lessons that Lebanon can offer the world is to show a country where Islam and Christianity are present and respected, and where it is possible to live together, to be friends.”
The pope was no doubt unaware of the fact, but two weeks before he issued this call, an Islamic scholar in the pontiff’s home city of Chicago offered a radically different view. On Nov. 14, Mohammad Nusairat said: “Unfortunately, these days we don’t repeat this enough, or we don’t have this doctrinal concept firm in our minds – that Islam did not come to coexist.” He quoted Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, saying: “Islam is always superior and should never be surpassed.” Nusairat added: “Islam is raised high, and nothing is raised above Islam.”
To those who would call for Christians and Muslims “to live together, to be friends,” Nusairat declared: “We can’t think of Islam that it came to live with these other religions in the sense that Islam is a religion amongst those religions, and they have a share with the truth, and they have a share of justice, and they have a share of the correct worship Allah. Islam came to correct all of that. Islam came to remove the oppression of all those religions, and it is the only truth, and it is the only way to justice.”
How might Pope Leo respond to Mohammad Nusairat? We will likely never know, as neither the current Bishop of Rome nor his equally irenic predecessor, the late Pope Francis, ever acknowledged even the existence of people such as Mohammad Nusairat or the point of view they represent. Both Francis and Leo have repeatedly spoken as if the obstacles to dialogue and friendship between Muslims and Christians are all on the Christian side, and that if Christians would only discard their “Islamophobia,” all would be well.
Yet even if some Christians heeded Pope Leo’s advice and embraced the mass, unvetted migration of Muslims into Europe and North America, they would be in for an unpleasant surprise. Some, and likely not an inconsiderable number, of the Muslims they so wholeheartedly welcomed would not have any interest whatsoever in reciprocating their good will. Instead, they would behave as if Muslims had come to “remove the oppression of all those religions,” and particularly Christianity. They would behave as if “Islam is always superior and should never be surpassed.”
Even though that is already happening all over Europe and has been for years now, Pope Leo has remained resolutely silent about it, and appears to be unaware that it is even happening, or determined to ignore it. He is sure we can all get along. He wants you to be sure, too. About the Muslims who view the world, and the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims, in much the same way that Mohammad Nusairat views it, he has nothing to say.
This phony Pope seems to have forgotten about Honor Killings and throwing Gays off the tops of tall building maybe he needs to read a Koran especially in their treatment of Christians
The prick knows he’ll never have to live among them or have to deal with the risk.
One would think after the-religeon-of-peace torched Notre Dame (bomb placed day before failed to explode), the dimwit would see the obvious.
Hopefully it won’t take the Vatican going up in flames to get him to pull his head out.
I doubt you know that for sure, though you very well may be right.
I seem to rememer that they ruled out terror well before the fire was extenguished. Kinda telle me that the are shootin straight with us.
You sound quite gullible. I have beach front property in Kansas for sale or how about the Brooklyn Bridge?
Who is your “They” Pedro?
I recall at the time of the fire that a muslim worker…working in the attic, waa]s the last worker at the site before the fire started.
Heart oak doesn’t just catch fire. It needs an intense and sustained ignition source like a blow torch. It wasn’t an accident. Do a Google on how many churches have been torched throughout Europe to get an overview. Wake up!
Pedro,
They ALWAYS say that.
(As an example they still deny muslim grooming gangs in England.)
“Ruled out terror before the fire was extinguished”?
They must have called in the FBI.
How can he be so sure about that? The jihadis conquered Constantinople partially because the holy Roman emperor and the Catholics turned their backs on the Greek Orthodox Byzantines. The Vatican isn’t that hard to get into, especially with armed drones or shoulder mounted rocket launchers. Rome is their prize now. They’ve already taken Constantinople. I am very afraid of the jihadis.
Islam counts on this type of naïveté, ignorance and obtuseness among Christian leaders to infiltrate and ruin Christiandom. And their strategy is working to perfection.
EXACTLY! Ya gotta give them credit for their excellent strategy. The same goes for their brilliant Oct. 7/23 sadistic barbaric murder, torture and hostage taking of Israeli citizens. They correctly thought that Israel would respond by flattening Gaza with many civilians killed and the morally bereft West would respond with a paroxysm of Jew hate aided by the the left and their useful idiots – which the Islamists have diligently planted in western universities & government, inter alia for the past 3 decades.
@John Markley
The thing is, the pope is not a Christian, a Luciferian yes, but definitely not a Christian. The whole Roman hierarchy is Anti-Christ, Satan entered into the synagogue back in the early 1950’s.
Jew hating islamo Nazi scumbag.
AMEN!!!
Actually, satan entered the ‘hierarchy’ more like the early 100s. Plus, remember that Paul was already warning us about things that are basic tenets of catholicism there in the first century…
You describe it perfectly. Reading “Defenders of the West” by Raymond Ibrahim demonstrates this to be the tactic of Muslim leaders. Divide and dupe Christians until you defeat them. This Pope is literally falling for their age old tactic and what I have read, this Pope set up a prayer room in the Vatican for the followers of this imposter religion. Sacrilege. https://ewtnvatican.com/articles/vatican-library-muslim-prayer-room-fact-check
Why do liberal Christian’s of any sect think “if we are just nice to them, we will all sing cumbaya and get along?” That was tried back as far as the 8th century and it was a failure then. Rivers—no—oceans of Christian blood have flowed because of these demons. The crusades occurred exactly for this reason, not because the big bad Christian’s were colonialists. The two biggest colonizers on the planet are Muslims and communists, particularly the Chinese communists..
Maybe Leo should crack open Bible.
And some history books on Islam vs Christianity.
Dear Pope Leo
Tell that to the Nigerian Catholics who are being murdered, tortured, and their daughters kidnapped… by the thousands… for several years now.. by Islamists. What have you said or done to stop it?
Exactly my thoughts! Not just in Nigeria! And what about the rising antisemitism? No words about that, Mr. Pope?
This pope is not my advisor/leader, nor was the previous. I can’t help but think that these people who praise Islam as peaceful are having sh** in their pants from fear. Or they are getting heavily paid. Can somebody tell these idiots that appeasement does not count as converting to Islam? That is the only thing which would save their lives. It will come for them too if the Islamist takeover continues. Just please send them a copy of Camp of the Saints.
May be if the Muslims gain power, therer will be fewer RCC priests, which you will find them at the foundations of tall buildings.
And they’ll get rid of you too if you refuse to submit and recite the shahada too. Fool.
He apparently didn’t study much Christian history either because the Muslims haven’t changed in 1400+ years. I don’t know what’s wrong with this man except that he has bought into the Vatican ll chrislam crap. And I’m a trad/Ukrainian catholic. I’m no liberal.
Why should he? Popes approve of Islamic killers. They would remove Jews from Israel and rename it Palestine just like the Romans did so many years ago. This Pope is Roman Catholic, now living in Rome, doing as Romans have done.
When in Rome….
They make a lovely couple. The bride’s frock is enchanting.
They both have that goatus interruptus face common to all muslim terrorists.
Hey! Just because they want to kill you doesn’t make them bad people!
Your a racist!
They have A RIGHT to kill you, and YOU’RE A BIGGOT FOR NOT LETTING THEM!
All on need do is blink. That’s the time it takes Western leadship figures to proudly announce what good dhimmis they are.
Is there something in the water, because clearly a lot of ordinary people (though surely not nearly enough) have managed to educate themselves thanks, in large part, to the brave and persistent efforts of people like Robert Spencer who’s beens sounding the alarm for decades.
G-d bless you, Robert. Free people the world over owe you a debt of gratitude (including those who don’t even realize it).
He should be called the Dope in Rome!!
They used to call him father bob in Chicago. So I call him pope bob now.
Leo has evidently neither read the Koran nor read any history of the world after the seventh century.
Why are so many leaders of Western institutions such blitheringly blind fools. Has wisdom completely abandoned them?
They can’t abandon something they never had in the first place.
Thats only part of it; in the main, they are doing the bidding of their (((masters))).
The lack of historical knowledge, ignorance of current facts of Islamic murder of Christians shows me Pope Leo is seriously deluded and naive. God help us all.
This pope is scared s—tless.
I have said it before with Dope Francis and will say it again with the current s.j.w. fool, when he tears down the walls surrounding the Vatican and invites the invading masses to come live there, then he will have every right to preach to the masses about love and acceptance of Muslims.
Surely the Vatican can easily take in several hundred of these people. Selling a few of their rare art treasures would easily feed, clothe, house hundreds of these people as well as buy them the latest/greatest snazzy iPhone.
Leo can even take in a few members of the “religion of peace” to share his lavish living quarters.
Leading by example is the very best example.
You’re ‘preaching’ to the “do as I tell you, not as I do’ Vatican. They are scared for their riches, that’s why they are keeping up the walls.
I believe that the pope’s of 8 centuries ago would wonder what you were smoking.
Well…..he IS from Chicago.
The article shows a photo of Pope Leo shaking hands with Turkey’s President Erdoğan, who converted the Hagia Sophia into a mosque. The Pope’s comments also fly in the face of mass killings by muslims of christians in Nigeria and other African countries, persecution of christians in muslim-controlled counties, and muslim rapes and other attacks of non-muslims in other countries. His comments come days after the funeral for one of the two US National Guard members gunned down by a muslim.
Appeasement does not work. Erdoğan and other muslims have a very different mindset. They view good-faith efforts by christians for harmony with muslims as weakness.
It is a strange state of affairs when President Trump stands more strongly for christians than the leader of the Catholic church.
The Vatican is rotten to its core for a long time. They have been silent on many genocides . I will not forget the Catholic church appeasing the Nazis and their ‘final solution’ when the time came to take a stand.
So the Pope supports the suicide of the West…how ironic.
Boy, that former German pope just looks better and better, at least insofar as his writings on Islam.
This pope is a monster. He wants humanity to fail. Catholics are starting to see the truth. This pope has NOTHING to do with God..
You are correct, his master is Satan.
We saw it day 1 with Francis. Me, I’m lookin’ around for the Holy Come-upance. It’s over due. I was really hoping Bishop Sara would be the Pope, but it looks like the Church as well as humanity is riding the circular spin in the porcelain bowl.
Disappointing ….
Another delusional leftist/globullist pope…fail
This Pope is not really working for Christians or follows history of Islam against all other religion. He is either working for Satan or getting paid by the Muslims. There are too many attacks by Muslims on Christians in all areas of the world to not “fear” Muslims and stop interacting with them.
The pope appears to be very secure in his own opinion. I only wonder where he gets the information to make such an opinion. It most *certainly did not come from the Bible. If he believed in the Bible he would not make such absurd claims nor would he tell others to disobey the Bible. And this is not my opinion only. It comes from the Word of God.
If that statement is “True”, then why doesn’t Pope Antichrist start housing Muslims by the thousands inside the Vatican and see where that gets him. Let’s put it to the test and see what happens.
We are atwar with islam.
We are at war with Islam because islam is at war with us. Islam is and has always been since it’s inception a religion of conquest. Islam seeks to destroy or enslave the infidel. Not all muslim are active participants in the war, but all are complicit.
Their ideology allows for unrestrained political, social, economic, and direct kinetic warfare against all other ideologies.
The we must acknowledge this and respond immediately and overwhelmingly.
F the phony pope.
Don’t fear them. Eradicate them, fearlessly.
As always, Robert is spot on. Leo has become the same disappointing Pope as Francis. One might have considered the back ground of Francis as an excuse; but Leo can use no such claim.
Leo seems like another Pope Pious XII in thought and action.
If Leo walked down the street in any Muslim majority country by himself. Not the military or militias but every day average citizens would beat him to death and drag his body through the streets in celebration.
And they would probably eat his flesh!
Tell that to the families or every Christian who’s been murdered by the heathen Muslim bastards.
This is why the Catholic Church is losing members!
Pope Leo’s an idiot.
Muslims are our enemy. Let’s agree to love our enemies, but let them live in their own utopian space.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Is this naivete’ or willful ignorance? Either way, it would take a fool to not see the tidal wave danger of Islam. The eradication of Western Civilization is their plan.
Pope Leo is undoubtedly a fk’ing idiot!
Pope Leo is worse than Pope Francis and that is a high bar.
Never mind 1700 years of muslim conquest and slaughter of christians. Never mind God’s commandment that “you shall have no other gods before me”.
I was Christened by the Roman Catholic Church at birth. I went to their Parochial School before HS. Around the fifth grade I realized the Vatican was truly the Mafioso
of Christianity! IT STILL IS!
If the West survives, this will be one of those “How could they have been so foolish?!” historical events recognized as having stupidly aided the 2nd Moor invasion we have been angrily but helplessly witnessing.
This guy is every bit as loony as Francis. He lectures the United States about how it should have open borders yet Vatican City has strict laws against people coming into it illegally. Why hasn’t Pope “Friendly” removed the laws that fine and put illegals in jail for years. Why doesn’t he tear down that wall surrounding Vatican City? What a hypocrite.
How can a Pope make such a vacuous and untenable statement like this? Centuries of attacks by Muslims upon the West and Christendom and he still says that too many in the West are defensive or even paranoid about Islam. His opinion in this case is hopelessly naive or even ignorant.
What is the point of even being Catholic anymore?
Jesus warned of false prophets and religious leaders becoming vipers.
I’ve heard the Quran has two separate suras where Jesus commands, “Fear God, obey me.” The followers of Islam do neither.
I understand the Quran is alleged to have plagiarized early apostate Christian literature, adopted Baal centered adoration during the Hajj, and altered historical documents and timelines.
Modern Islam is intolerent of other religious beliefs and condemns apostates leaving Islam to death in many countries they control.
No woman is safe in too many Islamic countries and the attacks upon women in non-Islamic countries by followers of Islam is legend.
I have heard that NDEs are causing many followers of Islam to realize that Islamic beliefs will condemn their souls to Hell.
The Pope should pray for their souls, but not abandon promoting the Gospel of Christianity for the Modernist promotion of ecumentalism.
“We shall have peace, Leo of Rome! We shall have peace when you answer for the burning of Smyrna, and the children torn from their churches, their records lost to the flames of 1922! We shall have peace when the lives of the faithful—my grandfather’s kin, baptized in the Jordan, driven from Asia Minor—are honored, not forgotten in your smooth words of dialogue! We shall have peace when the cries of Ethiopia’s Tewahedo, Egypt’s Copts, and Russia’s martyrs under the Soviet yoke are heard, not silenced by your fear of fear itself! When you stand before the altars of the seven churches—Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum—and reckon with their desecration, then, and only then, shall we speak of friendship! Until that day, keep your counsel, for it rings hollow as a Saruman’s promise over the graves of the Westfold!”
“…this is the way the world ends, this is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper”. The Hollow Men by T,S. Eliot.
God gave them over to strong delusion.
They thought they were wise in their own eyes, but they became fools.
talk to me after you ditch the dress, pointy hat, and shit-stirring stick
Ever since the Fr. Leonard Feeney affair, the “Church of Nice” has taken over. The good news is that the next generation of Catholics is MUCH more conservative.
Pope Dhimmi II.
The Pope is a mope who smokes too much dope.
Is that his advice for all the women who have raped in Italy by Islamic animals?
a moron replaced a montonero, that is why I stopped going to church, although I pray everyday, the clergy is not the faith, the institution is rotten
Does anyone remember pope on a rope soap? Bring that back but leave out the soap part.
True liberalism has devolved into a “mental disease” – so too has true celibacy devolved into a “mental disease”.
The Muslims caused 9/11 and will do worse sooner or later. Why? Because we enabled Israel to annihilate Palestine and will do worse sooner or later.
We aren’t afraid of Muslims, when they stay in their own countries. But when you flood a country with these people, being waring is not fear, it’s self preservation. The people and NGOs bringing these people in, need to be ‘noticed’ and destroyed.
What an utter tool of Satan he is!
LIve together and be friends, says the Pope? Wow, what a sense humor that guy has. Just cracking up over here. Sure. Friends. Like that trail of friends we see behind us over a 1400 year history all the way up to and beyond October 7th?
No doubt the Pope has some kind of secret sauce that the rest of civilization has lacked. Do tell, Mr. Pope. How does that friends living together work when the Islamists want to kill us all in the ceaseless drive toward the Caliphate?
PS. Mr. Pope. Would you abandon the tenets of Catholicism for any reason? No? Well, neither will observant Muslims abandon the core teachings of their so-called religion. Someone please send this guy a Koran and other core Islamist teachings for Christmas.
I would say I’m disappointed in Pope Leo but to be disappointed it would have been necessary to have expected better.
Pope Leo XIV is weak and naïve and is following the Vatican II plan to water down Catholicism to appease non-Catholics and create a one-world new church of heterodox apostasy.
On October 7, 1571, under the spiritual direction of Saint Pope Pius V, Catholics soundly defeated the Islamist Ottoman Empire at the great naval Battle of Lepanto, thereby saving European Christianity from possible annihilation.
My cherished 1911 copy of The Catholic Encyclopedia states the following: “In matters political Islam is a system of despotism at home and aggression abroad. The Prophet commanded absolute submission to the imam. In no case was the sword to be raised against him. The rights of non-Moslem subjects are of the vaguest and most limited kind, and a religious war is a sacred duty whenever there is a chance of success against the ‘infidel’”.
If Roman Catholicism was actually Christian, I might be inclined to pay attention to the utterances of this idiot.
Pope Leo is the only Pope who could out-stupid Red Francis
Well first off he is the Cowardly Lion like in the wizard of oz( but popes are supposed to be gentle and kind like Christ) and second you’re a Jew- he couldn’t care less what you say or think anyways.
I get that in Eutopia (or heaven) there is peace and love for everyone and everything- I will accept the consequences of my actions on judgement day- I have nothing for the sacrilege of God by Islam- nothing! In this realm I will not stand for the garbage or atrocities they claim as godly.
Not sure why “the Pope’s” view on Islam is taken seriously? It’s one mortal man’s opinion and in spite of beliefs otherwise he has no more insight than many of us….perhaps less given this view? He clearly needs more study on the matter and less use of “Divine inspiration”.
