I was a bit surprised, but not that shocked, to read that Pope Leo has once again genuflected to Islam. It’s a pattern.
Asked by a reporter about Catholics in Europe believing that Islam is a threat to Christianity and whether they were right, Pope Leo XIV responded by saying they were often people who were against immigration and should be less fearful.
How do you feel about that? Be less scared? Well, especially if you live in a city state with walls all the way around it and with your own private army to protect you.
“All of the conversations that I had during my time both in Turkey and in Lebanon, including with many Muslims, were precisely concentrated on the topic of peace and respect of people of different religions,” Pope Leo stated, adding the understatement, “I know that as a matter of fact, that has not always been the case.”
No sh*t, Sherlock!
“I know that in Europe, there are many times fears that are present, but oftentimes generated by people who are against immigration and trying to keep out people who may be from another country, another religion, another race,” he declared. “And in that sense, I would say that we all need to work together. One of the values of this trip is precisely to raise the world’s attention to the possibility that dialogue and friendship between Muslims and Christians is possible.”
This is truly pitiful stuff from Pope Leo. He seems oblivious to the fact, for example, that Lebanon’s indigenous Christians have been vanishing while its conquering Muslim population has been growing. Or perhaps he just doesn’t care enough?
Isn’t is strange that the Leader of the Roman Catholic Church seems to believe that only far right bigots worry about Islam? Maybe he listens too closely to the likes of the Vice-President of Lebanon’s Supreme Islamic Shia Council?
In a meeting with Pope Leo he stated that the spiritual culture of Islam is founded on equality and human dignity, and that the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Imam Ali (A.S) highlight the importance of human brotherhood and coexistence.
What a laugh! Islam is founded on the principle of war and supremacy and its adherents are slaughtering Christians all around the world even as this pompous Pontiff lectures us not to be concerned about it!
