It's Not Right To Identify Islam With Terrorism, Pope Francis by Pepuscutie270(f): 2:07pm On Aug 01, 2016 |
The pontiff was on a pilgrimage to Poland, and made an unscheduled stop at a church in Krakow to implore God to protect people from the 'devastating wave' of terrorism in many part of the world. He was pressed by reporters on the papal flight from Poland on the subject of Islamic terror, and Francis replied that 'it's not right to identify Islam with violence. It's not right and it's not true.' He added: 'I believe that in every religion there is always a little fundamentalist group.' 'I don't like to talk of Islamic violence because every day, when I go through the newspapers, I see violence, this man who girls his girlfriend, another who kills his mother-in-law. 'And these are baptized Catholics. If I speak of Islamic violence, then I have to speak of Catholic violence.' Noting he has spoken with imams, he concluded: 'I know how they think, they are looking for peace.' As for the Islamic State group, he said it 'presents itself with a violent identity card, but that's not Islam.' read more ...http://www.oliviangene.com/2016/08/its-not-right-to-identify-islam-with.html

Islam does not preach violence but peace with oneself and the people around. Only if people can study Islam and not muslims to see how beautiful it is. |

ValentineMary:I am a Catholic and I can confidently say that this pope does not know what he is talking about. He sounds more like Obama than like a Catholic pope. Perhaps he should pay attention on what the Catholic doctors and saints have taught about Islam. Perhaps a simple read of the most illustrious of teachers St Thomas Aquinas would open his eyes. Or simply reading his predecessors like Benedict XVI's Regensburg address or Pope St Pius V's crusade or Blessed Urban II's call for the first crusade in defence of Christendom. He seems more interested in defending Islam more than his own faith. He has ignored a Catholic woman Asia Bibi in Pakistan who is on death row for allegedly blaspheming Mohamed. She has written numerous letters to him and he has not replied any of them. Her husband and little daughter went to Rome for a Mass at St Peter's and he ignored them. Why is he doing all this evil if not to protect Islam's image? I remain a loyal Catholic but I don't really pay attention to what this Pope says. If I want to know what Islam is from a Catholic point of view I will consult St Thomas Aquinas not Francis. 1 Like |

Papist:So u would rather agree to Thomas medieval mentality that was most probably corrupt with ignorance than a modern man's own perhaps u should study about the inquisition, third crusade, holocaust, religious wars in most of Europe, etc on how catholics were once worse than islam. And it seems u have practically ignored the abortionist christian extremist kill, gays they discriminate, etc 2 Likes |

ValentineMary:I am yet to see any modern man wiser than St Thomas. Let alone Francis. Here is what St Thomas wrote about Mohammed and Islam and it is still true today if you look at the various Islamic groups and Islamic society in general. If you have any disagreements with him please point them out. "He (Mohammed) seduced the people by promises of carnal pleasure to which the concupiscence of the flesh urges us. His teaching also contained precepts that were in conformity with his promises, and he gave free rein to carnal pleasure. In all this, as is not unexpected; he was obeyed by carnal men. As for proofs of the truth of his doctrine, he brought forward only such as could be grasped by the natural ability of anyone with a very modest wisdom. Indeed, the truths that he taught he mingled with many fables and with doctrines of the greatest falsity. He did not bring forth any signs produced in a supernatural way, which alone fittingly gives witness to divine inspiration; for a visible action that can be only divine reveals an invisibly inspired teacher of truth. On the Contrary, Mohammed said that he was sent in the power of his arms - which are signs not lacking even to robbers and tyrants. What is more, no wise men, men trained in things divine and human, believed in him from the beginning (1). Those who believed in him were brutal men and desert wanderers, utterly ignorant of all divine teaching, through whose numbers Mohammed forced others to become his follower's by the violence of his arms. Nor do divine pronouncements on part of preceding prophets offer him any witness. On the contrary, he perverts almost all the testimony of the Old and the New Testaments by making them into a fabrication of his own, as can be seen by anyone who examines his law. It was, therefore, a shrewd decision on his part to forbid his followers to read the Old and New Testaments, lest these books convict him of falsity. It is thus clear that those who place faith in his words believe foolishly." 1 Like |

Papist:If u read what I wrote earlier, u would notice that am atheist and I don't care what Thomas or Mohammed say or think. I asked a simple qus. Are u trying to deny the existence of xtians extremist. Perhaps Aquinas should also tell us why he did not speqk against the crusade in his era. |

Papist:I sympathise with you cause for the pope and well meaning Catholics the holy spirit is still at work enlightening us. pray for his enlightenment too sir/ma |
Re: It's Not Right To Identify Islam With Terrorism, Pope Francis by Nobody: 1:02pm On Aug 03, 2016 |
ValentineMary:So if you dont care what St Thomas Aquinas says about Islam because you are an atheist, why then are you here applauding Pope Francis for saying "islam is a religion of peace." Is that not hypocrisy? Anyway it seems you don't actually know that the crusades were called as a response to Islamic terror. The same kind of terror that Christians and other minorities are facing today in Syria. If you didnt know, the whole middle east except Arabia used to be Christian before Muhammad's armied arrived from the desert. |

Drinkwater06:From the bolded I failed to see evidence showing how Catholics used to be worse than Muslims. Care to enlighten me? |
Re: It's Not Right To Identify Islam With Terrorism, Pope Francis by Nobody: 1:10pm On Aug 03, 2016 |
eazyjay4:It's sir. Yah thanks for the advice. The Pope needs our prayers so that he understands that his mission is to spread the gospel and be the defender of Christianity not Islam. |
Re: It's Not Right To Identify Islam With Terrorism, Pope Francis by ValentineMary(m): 9:32pm On Aug 03, 2016 |
Papist:Aquinas was obviously being biased because what he accused them of is also practiced in islam. And BTW u should study the crusade more before u make false claims. |
