In 1955, Algeria had over 1 million Catholics and 140,000 Jews. Today, as Pope Leo visits Algeria, there are some 8,000 Catholics in Algeria and there are fewer than 200 Jews.
99% of the population of what was one of the old territories of Christianity are Sunni Muslims.
Was Islam so popular that all the Christians and Jews decided to convert? Not at all. They were persecuted, murdered, tortured and driven out by Islamic violence that occurred in our lifetimes.
Christians and Jews had lived in Algeria since Roman times. Now they’re gone.
This Christian genocide was endorsed by major world powers, aided and abetted by the French government and celebrated in movies, books and classroom lessons. And by Pope Leo XIV.
Alongside paying tribute to the 19 Martyrs of Algeria, beatified in 2018, priests, monks and nuns, including 7 beheaded monks and 2 nuns murdered on the way to mass, by Islamic terrorists who later received amnesty for their crimes, Pope Leo also paid tribute to Muslim Jihadists.
Pope Leo visited Algeria’s so-called Martyrs’ Monument, “Maqam Echahid,” located above the El Mujahid or Jihadi Museum, erected by former Islamic-Socialist terrorist dictator Houari Boumédiène who had headed the ALN, one of whose specialties was the “Smile of Kabylie” in which the tongue was pulled through a slit throat, and which was responsible for the Oran Massacre of Christians and Jews thereby ethnically cleansing a formerly non-Muslim city.
Women and children had their throats cut by Muslim mobs bent on slaughter. 250,000 non-Muslims had lived in Oran. After the massacres, over 200,000 survivors fled.
Pope Leo XIV visited the Jihadi site and in his remarks claimed that “our presence here at this monument pays tribute to this history of Algeria and to the very spirit of a people who fought for the independence, dignity and sovereignty of this nation.”
Praising the Arab Muslim Jihadis who had set out to eliminate Christianity from Algeria, the pontiff declared that “they lost their lives but in doing so, they gave them up for the love of their own people. May their example sustain the people of Algeria and all of us on our journey, for true freedom is not merely inherited, it is chosen anew every day.”
The “love of their own people” was based on a fervent hatred of all non-Muslims, acted out through horrible atrocities, including the deliberate murder of non-Muslim children by Muslims.
The ‘martyrs’ of the Jihadi Museum under the monument at which Pope Leo made his remarks include Mohammed Larbi Ben M’Hidi, the Muslim terrorist leader responsible for bombings and shootings against non-Muslim civilians including the Milk-Bar bombing during which a Muslim woman planted a bomb in a shop filled with mothers and children having milkshakes.
Mothers were killed and children lost arms and legs.
Danielle Michel-Chich, a 5-year-old girl, had gone to have ice cream with her grandmother. Danielle lost her leg, while her grandmother lost her life. Nicole Guiraud, a 10-year-old girl, lost her arm. Some young women were killed in the brutal Islamic terrorist attacks.
Zohra Drif, the monster who planted the bomb targeting mothers and children, is an honored figure in Algeria, and was the wife of Rabah Bitat, Algeria’s former president who succeeded Boumediene. The terrorist also served as the vice president of Algeria’s parliament.
This is what Pope Leo XIV decided to honor and praise as the “example” for Algeria.
On his visit, Pope Leo repeatedly invoked St. Augustine of Hippo who had been from Algeria. Hippo was sacked and destroyed by the Islamic invaders. The city later known as Bône (known as Anaba under Muslim occupation) was one of the cities where non-Muslims fled Muslim violence.
Rather than address what had actually happened, Pope Leo insisted on pretending that there was nothing religious about Christian clergy being massacred by Muslim terrorists, contending that “In the face of hatred and violence, they remained faithful to charity even to the point of sacrificing themselves alongside many other men and women, Christians and Muslims.”
Visiting the Great Mosque of Algiers, erected by former terrorist dictator Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who had provided amnesty to all members of the Armed Islamic Group, the Jihadist group responsible for the murder of Christian clergy, including nuns and a bishop, Pope Leo praised the gargantuan monstrosity as a “place of prayer” from which “we can learn to respect one another, live in harmony and build a world of peace.”
An Algerian Muslim convert to Christianity however asked to only be referred to anonymously.
Algeria has closed dozens of churches, prosecuted Christians for giving away or even selling copies of the bible and non-registered church services have been banned.
The Algerian constitution declares that “Islam shall be the religion of the State” and demands that the president “swear by Allah” and “glorify the Islamic religion”. So much for coexistence.
The Catholic Church is vanishing from Islamized Algeria. What was once a community of over a million had shrunk to 100,000 by 1965, 45,000 by 1980, and 8,000 now. Few of the clergy are local. Rather than standing up for local persecuted Christians or warning about the consequences of spreading the same kind of Jihadist Islamization into the heartlands of Europe, Pope Leo continues to treat fellow Christians like President Trump as foes while embracing Islamic terrorist regimes as brethren. That policy will do to the Christians of Europe what it already did to the Christians of Algeria.
Rather than defend the bastions of Christianity, Pope Leo cheers on Christian genocide.
satanic islam: Crescent & Star
Scripture portrays the antichrist as an intellectual genius Dan. 7 v.8; an outstanding orator Dan. 7 v.20; a military leader without parallel in human history Dan. 7 v.23; a shrewd calculating and manipulating politician Dan 8 v.25; 11 v.21; and the ultimate religious charlatan 2 Thess. 2 v.4; The angel briefly reviews the detailed description of him given in Rev. 13 verses 1 -10.
The Antichrist is called the Assyrian, Prince of Tyre, King of Babylon, Pharaoh of Egypt, Gog. The KJV in Isaiah calls this master, Lucifer. In other versions he’s the Shining One, Son of the dawn. In Hebrew he’s Helel Ben Shacker… In Arabic that’s Crescent Moon and Morning Star (symbols of Islam).”
The NAT☪ alliance appears to be cracking also. Turkey threatened Israel.
Turkey is the new Iran
A spiritual battle being waged in the natural world.
I never knew how bad the Algerian “retreat” was. Should have extrapolated, but never came across a detailed history of the events like this. Another million killed, consistent, nearly identical to their history elsewhere. It does need to be said that the French were excessively cruel in suppressing the Algerians and there was always going to be a lot of payback.
The Armenians were the only ME history I came across from this era, that was somewhat in the public domain detailing the mass murders that slimes are so partial to. Even the relatively prominent slime genocide, the Armenian genocide seems like it has been hidden and kept from the public and only became known in America because an Armenian director and writer pushed making a movie about his family’s genocide. The left censoring machine once again?
Information is a powerful thing, especially as detailed as this history was… Too bad it is so often controlled.
Information is controlled, suppressed and distractions are put up so people don’t internalize the horrifying truth.
The horrifying Truth is that the catholic fake church has been acting this way for several decades… ignoring Christian & Jewish Genocide, while supporting islamic conquest… more so, since 911…
So why does the catholic fake church act this way? They are united… especially in worshiping the fake god allah. You might consider my comments a distraction… but they are relevant in every way.
A movie is suppose to hit the theaters here in December… called “Dune 3″… the trailer looks evil… but the plot is how catholicism and islam is united in the End Times. How successful it’ll be is questionable…
Regardless… it appears as if others are getting the idea…
The facts you present are more shocking than I had known. In light of those facts, it’s truly even more shocking that a Pope would degrade himself to such a low level of pandering to the evil of this monstrous heresy. It’s beyond the pale of human understanding.
There’s a reason we’re not meant to know them. The Left cheered the Islamic genocide as a victory and then covered up the details.
You would have thought that the Armenian genocide would have given rise to an expeditionary force by Americans and at least addressed by the still religious Christian Europeans considering the American missionaries that were trapped in Turkey and the fact that it wasn’t exactly censored in America, just never sensationalized enough to catch America’s outrage.
The Spanish War was just fought because of American outrage over the treatment by Royal Spain of the people in the central part of Cuba, mostly black slaves that were basically imprisoned in this part of Cuba and treated as sub-humans.
Americans had the attitude to rectify right and wrongs at this time period, maybe the press has had this incredible amount of influence in history and the nuance of how it is reported as well as the degree of repetition has been much more effective in directing people’s actions than seems logical.
At the core of Christianity is the moral code of suicidal altruism, of suicidal self-sacrifice for others. Pope Leo knows this, the Catholic theologians know this.
Christianity is not a philosophy for living on earth, it is a philosophy for escaping this life on earth for an allegedly existing superior utopia in the after-life. Pope Leo and the Catholic theologians know this.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
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.” – The Sermon On The Mount
Cognitive altruism refers to kindness driven by thought and understanding, where individuals make informed choices that benefit others and the collective good. It also emphasizes the role of mental processes in altruistic actions, moving beyond instinct to incorporate reason and awareness in acts of kindness.
Selfishness is the quality of being excessively concerned for one’s own welfare or advantage, often at the expense of others.
Pathological selfishness refers to an extreme form of self-centeredness where an individual consistently prioritizes their own interests and needs over others, often causing harm or distress to those around them
Taken to extremes both become forms of pathology.
The Christian and the Objectivist view self-interest differently, Where a Christian chooses to incorporate the welfare of another, the Objectivist perches upon solitary, “rational” self-interests, often by disregarding others which can easily become pathological as well.
One needs to regard self-interest as having great value without eliminating empathy for others. Those without the ability to empathize with others evidence degrees of sociopathy to include the extreme of psychopathy.
I’ll take a rational altruist over a self-centered psychopath; one has a conscience and the other does not.
This type of “altruistism” or “concern for others” is neither. It is a pathetic, narcissistic attempt at self-beautification and is totally missing in empathy for both those who are worthy of empathy and those who are not.
You would do well to study narcissism as genuine altruism has regard for others. If you’re speaking about leftists who are constantly braying about their regard for others for public accolades while shafting the very people they say they’re helping, I would agree.
It occurs to me that the behaviour of, say, the UK police during the Grooming gang scandal was not, in fact, altruism towards Muslims – it was selfish protection of their own jobs and their own hopes of advancement, which might have been scuppered by being perceived as “racist”.
And many were personally involved with raping the young girls and taking money to look away
If people like that had the courage of their convictions they would self terminate to spare themselves the miseries and adversities of having to live life.
It is true that the only way to practice altruism and self-sacrifice completely and perfectly is to offer yourself up as a meal to cannibals.
This is why altruists, if they have any desire to live, must cheat on the code of altruism and become hypocrites, the desire to live and be happy is hard to extinguish completely.
“In spite of all their irrationalities, inconsistencies, hypocrisies and evasions, the majority of men will not act, in major issues, without a sense of being morally right and will not oppose the morality they have accepted. They will break it, they will cheat on it, but they will not oppose it; and when they break it, they take the blame on themselves. The power of morality is the greatest of all intellectual powers—and mankind’s tragedy lies in the fact that the vicious moral code men have accepted destroys them by means of the best within them.” – Ayn Rand
Try reading Dennis Pragers new book “If there is no God” it might bring some wisdom.
The vast majority of those practicing suicidal altruism in the present day aren’t Christians, they are secular humanists.
I guess, for you, it’s better to sit still and do nothing for anybody….ever.
I help others that are deserving, when I can, and to the extent that I can, non-sacrificially, which means without destroying myself.
I’m certainly not going to follow Jesus’ admonitions to love my enemies, turn the other cheek, and not resist an evil person.
And I am not going to love others indiscriminately just because they are my neighbors (love your neighbors as you love yourself).
Turning the other cheek is a sign of strength.
Christianity certainly seems to be your enemy. Why is there so much anger in your heart? Jesus can help you! Call upon Jesus to reveal Himself to you and save you by His grace.
Stick with your Ayn Rand – you truly do not understand this passage.
It was meant if you are preaching Christ’s gospel – not in general everyday life
The Sermon On The Mount is about being a man! “If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.” It’s saying, ‘Is that all you’ve got?! I’ll show you how to be a man…’
You do not understand the teaching of Jesus. The Lord is strong, calls out evil, and yes, preaches Love,and forgiveness. I suggest reading Emmet Fox ,book titled Sermon on the Mount. Get the real picture of the Jesus teaching. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Christianity is not a philosophy for living on earth, it is a philosophy for escaping this life on earth for an allegedly existing superior utopia in the after-life.
You’re not talking about about anything real or that hasn’t been tested and proven false.
Not even remotely true, ridiculous statement and you have already been proven wrong In practice. Christianity has already proven to be the most humanizing, civilizing influence in history. The greatest progressive influence on mankind.
Some immutable facts:
The Pope is head of the Roman Catholic Church, but not of true Christianity. Scripture does not establish Peter as the supreme leader of the apostles, nor does it record him being in Rome or establishing the papacy. Pater, therefore, was not the first Pope.
The Popery has always been a political institution. God’s inspired word in the Bible serves as the ultimate authority, not papal tradition. The Pope is not the Vicar of Christ. That role reserved for the Holy Spirit.
I hear you—but in practice there are thousands of Protestant churches, all reading the same Bible and disagreeing. Even in my area, I’ve got a dozen options—so which one is right?
That’s the difference. Protestantism is horizontal—many voices. Catholicism claims something vertical—authority that traces back to St. Peter.
You can disagree with it—but it at least answers the question of who decides.
You need to read more scripture, “thou art Peter and on this rock I build my church.“
“For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;”. Let that sink in. Think about it and let it sink in.
Truth is God MIGHT protect you from murder. But more that likely, if the murderer comes to you, God will NOT protect you. You want proof?
Jesus was tortured and murdered.
The Apostles were jailed, beaten, tortured and murdered.
The reformation leaders such as Jon Huss, Martin Luther, John Wycliff, William Tyndale were all tortured and murdered.
Christians in Pakistan, Congo, Nigeria, Sudan, Syria, Iran, and many many more countries are at this very time tortured and murdered.
What does Apostle Peter say about it? – Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
Again, this is the vastly unpopular Gospel of Christ which is the Gospel of YHVH – total truth
You don’t have to live a life of physical suffering – This was done by Yeshua Messiah – notwithstanding, Padre Pio’ is the is the stellar jock of physical sacrifice and signs from Heaven in Padre Pio’s body that disappeared when Padre Pio’ left his mortal coil.
The rest of us are just trying to survive and thrive.
Don’t go where you are not called – therefore – know where you are called.
For example, Professor Dan was called to this field of journalism.
Criticizing God and Jesus is blasphemy. Criticizing Lunatic Leo XIV is not. Can’t stand looking at his dumb ugly face. He’s HIgh Stupidness is just pissed because he’s not getting another $3 billion to take care of illegal immigrants in the U.S. like Sleepy Joe gave him,
This Pope makes me think. Maybe that Al Sharpton isn’t such a bad guy?
Maybe you forgot that Al Sharpton caused the deaths of innocent Jews in Harlem many years ago.
Thanks Daniel! I was in Paris in 1961 as a kid. There was OAS graffiti everywhere. Rumor was they disposed of Muslim corpses in the river Seine.
The French are capable of remarkable brutality, as proved during the Revolution and Napoleonic period.
Hi AA, Wow, Paris 1961. I must admit I’m envious. Most memorable thing for me in 61 was entering High School as a freshman. I don’t recall the turmoil in Paris or Algeria back then. Current events weren’t high on my list of priorities at the time. My loss!
Thanks World!!!!!!! My grandmother and I had Versailles practically all to ourselves 🙂
Even though the French were adversaries, they were admired, maybe revered by the Romans for their sadistic brutality, savagery and how incredibly bloody they were.
Daniel, the history you’re pointing to in Algeria is real—and it shouldn’t be softened. The disappearance of a once-thriving Christian presence there is a serious and painful reality.
At the same time, I think we have to be careful about assuming intent. When the pope speaks in broad, reconciliatory language, I don’t think he’s endorsing the violence that drove Christians out. But I do think there’s a risk that it comes across that way if it isn’t paired with clear acknowledgment of what actually happened.
And that’s where many Catholics are uneasy. It’s not about denying charity or dialogue—it’s about making sure that truth isn’t blurred in the process.
The same concern shows up elsewhere too. Christians are still being killed in places like Nigeria and other parts of Africa, and people want to hear that spoken about clearly and consistently.
Charity matters—but without clarity, it can start to feel like silence where there should be witness.
There is no dialogue with Islam. It is a murderous evil cult, and they want to kill you.
So true, they have their war manual, it’s called ”The Quran.”
What I admire about Daniel Greenfield’s reports is that he lays out hard facts free of any invective. There is never any point in spewing hateful venom at the person of Pope Leo or Catholicism in general. What His Holiness has just done in Algeria is a complete disgrace that I wish all Catholics across the world could be made fully aware of. Being a traditional Catholic, I am thoroughly sickened by this latest heterodox Modernist abomination, which dwarfs even Pope John Paul II kissing the Qur’an, which denies the divinity of Christ.
So as not to fall into despair, believers in Jesus must remember always that the Son of God, not Satan, is ultimately in charge. Popes come and go, but not Jesus. Before He ascended into heaven Our Lord instructed his disciples as follows: “All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. Going therefore, teach ye all nations : baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost : Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you : and behold I am with you all days even to the consummation of the world.” (Matthew 28:19-20) Douay-Rheims Bible.
It’s not my place to insult the leader of a religion. He has politics and people simply deserve to know the truth about the history of Islamic expansionism and Western appeasement and the implications of those policies for the West.
My Church is Bible based. Not based on a elected clerical politician.
I have the same reasoning, I do not go to Church because so many are not preaching the whole truth.
I am like a Turtle, I carry my church & bible on my back, because it goes everywhere with me.
You should have ended your comment with a self-congratulatory sniff!
For your information the Catholic mass compulsory every Sunday has readings from the Bible and a sermon based upon them. The mass is a recollection of Christ’s crucifixion.
Just call him Leo #15. Christians are stuck with him for probably a very long time.
Thankfully the pope has no bearing on MY life! I thought the previous one was about as bad as one could get, but this one is even WORSE – he’s an AMERICAN who grew up in a FREE NATION! Looks like he’s forgotten all that came before him and ALLOWED him to live in the Greatest Nation on Earth and benefit from its FREEDOMS! But then he has spent most of his life in communistic surroundings so there’s that! This is just another reason why people distrust Religion and “leaders”! I highly doubt that many true Catholics share his viewpoints on humanity – except those who vote DEMOcrat!
The amorphous satanic deep state pioneer is the Vatican
As a patriot, it was gut-wrenching for Barack Obama and Joe Biden as president of my beloved country. As a Catholic, it was, and is, gut-wrenching to have Francis and Leo as pope of my beloved church.
Pope Dhimmi II.
Please don’t introduce an initialism like ALN without telling us what it stands for..
Please republish this with DATES. When did Leo visit Algeria? When was the Milk Bar massacre? When were these various terrorists in power?Events require timeline context! Thank you.
Great reporting otherwise.
Pope Leo XIV visited Algeria on April 14, 2026, marking the first papal visit to the country. During this trip, he visited the Martyrs’ Monument and the El Mujahid Museum, which commemorates figures from the Algerian War for Independence.
The Milk Bar massacre occurred on September 30, 1956, during the Algerian War of Independence. , a member of the National Liberation Front (FLN), planted a bomb in the café, killing three people and wounding dozens, including children.
Regarding the timeline of terrorist power:
1954–1962: The FLN, including Zohra Drif, waged a war of independence against French rule; Drif was sentenced to 20 years in 1958 but pardoned after the 1962 Evian Accords.
1962–1978: Following independence, Rabah Bitat (Drif’s husband) served as President of Algeria, succeeding Houari Boumédiène.
1978–1992: Houari Boumédiène had previously served as the head of the National Liberation Army (ALN) and was the Islamic-Socialist dictator who erected the Martyrs’ Monument under which the Jihadi Museum is located.
1994–1996: During the Algerian Civil War, Islamist groups like the Armed Islamic Group (GIA) were active, responsible for the Tibhirine monastery massacre and the killing of Bishop Pierre Claverie.
Post-1999: Following the civil war, President Abdelaziz Bouteflika (serving until 2019) granted amnesty to members of the Armed Islamic Group, integrating former militants into the state structure.
AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts.
In my comment above, where I cited “venom” I was referring not to Daniel Greenfield’s excellent article, which is large on important facts and free of invective, but with often hateful and thoroughly obnoxious comments that almost always seem to follow any article where the Catholic Church or the pope, any pope, is mentioned. To those who believe that the Catholic Church is evil and/or genocidal, I would suggest that they make themselves aware of the countless charities Catholics have headed over many centuries and also in more recent times, the fact that according to Jewish sources, Pope Pius XII saved 860,000 Jewish lives during the Holocaust period. This same pope was praised upon his death in 1958 by Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir who called him “a great servant of peace.”
Now thanks to Daniel Greenfield, we know that Pope Leo actually praised Arab Muslim Jihadis who had set out to eliminate Christianity from Algeria. The pontiff declared that “they lost their lives but in doing so, they gave them up for the love of their own people. May their example sustain the people of Algeria and all of us on our journey, for true freedom is not merely inherited, it is chosen anew every day.”
This statement praising murderous Arab Muslim Jihadis by Pope Leo is plainly nuts. Appeasement is always wrong because it must invariably include ignoring unwelcome facts and misrepresenting in a positive manner villains or even praising them. When Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain returned from Munich and waved his little scrap of paper declaring “peace in our time,” Hitler called him a “fool.”
The Catholic Church gets most of its money from American citizens and our Government
They are mad as heck Trump has cut them off at the knees
And now, unbelievably enough, it turns out that a bunch of jihadis actually attempted to KILL His/her/they/them UnHoliness, WHILE the Poop was there praising their Islamic terror jihadis for bombing Christians & Jews because they did it “for the love of their own people”.. But who are Bob Prevosts people?
The Church has been terrified of Islam for centuries.
Tick off the Mohammedans and dutiful Religion O’Peacers will burn your churches, abduct your children, and disperse entire villages of your worshippers to the winds, like so much dust and sand – all over the world.
Here, Leo plays the part of Alejandro Mayorkas – reassuring Americans that ‘the borders are secure’ and piously repeating “Invasion? What invasion?” There are none among we infidels whom the Pope and his minions will not throw to the wolves in order to save their own rosy, pink @sses.
Leo XIV should be regarded as no more than a frightened hostage with trembling knees, desperately trying to negotiate his own release by saying whatever he must to mollify his captors. That is the only deference he deserves.
