Pope denounces slaying of Egyptian Copts by Islamic State
2015-02-17
[DAWN] Pope Francis has denounced the slaying by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Egyptian Copts in Libya, saying they were "assassinated just for being Christian".
That's not the same thing as saying "they're animals who need exterminated like the vermin they are."
Francis spoke off-the-cuff on Monday during an audience with a Scottish ecumenical delegation. He said: "They only said 'Jesus help me ...' The blood of our Christian brothers is testimony that cries out. Be they Catholic, Orthodox, Copts, Lutherans, it doesn't matter: They're Christian!"

Militants in Libya affiliated with the Islamic State group released a video late Sunday purporting to show the mass beheading of Coptic Christian hostages held for several weeks. The killings raised anxieties in Italia, given Libya's proximity just across the Mediterranean Sea and because one of the hard boyz in the video said the group plans to "conquer Rome", the seat of Catholicism.

#5  Good, but I also would like to hear from both the Greek-n-Russian Orthodox Churchs, since I believe North Africa is more their purvue???

AS ILLUSTRATED BY BELOW, THE EASTERN RITE CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES MAY TO PLAN FOR A TIME WHEN THE VATICAN + WEST ARE NOT THERE TO MILPOL BACK UP THEIR SIX.

[PUTIN-LED RUSSIA'S ANNEXATION OF THE CRIMEA FROM UKRAINE here].

* FYI as per FREEREPUBLIC Artics, ITALY = decided to send a 5000-man military combat team or task force to Libya to help fight the ISIS.

I would not like to think that I would be the first person to point out to all mohammedans, that tables can be turned. Millions of them "held captive in the West" would be the order of the day, no forced conversions, just the renouncing of islam or die, the stomping out of evil, a world without islam and Allan...

#3  Christian doctrine is an insult to and blasphemy of Islam.

What happened to "You cannot insult the faith of others." ?

#2  Either you destroy it or it destroys you.

That's what it boils down to.

#1  You trouble yourself with the 'evils' of capitalism rather than the true evils that exist in the hearts of men and on the blood of their hands. This is the real history of man. Either you destroy it or it destroys you.
