Pope says Koran is a book of peace and Islam is a peaceful religion

What the hell is wrong with you people?? Didn't you watch the clip? The Pope didn't say what the headline said he did--He said "some people" say that Islam is a religion on peace.

Francis is far from perfect, in my opinion, but in your hatred for Catholicism in general and this Pope in particular, you're too ready to believe every allegation against him. FR used to be much better than this.

Sad that the Pope shills for Islam

It cracks me up how people STILL continue to comment without bothering to read anything.

Whats funny (in an abysmal sort of way) is that Islam isn’t even peaceful from muslim to muslim. A Sunni muslim can be very violent to a Shiite muslim because the Sunni does not believe the Shiite is muslim although the Shiite claims to be muslim. This is how muslim on muslim violence is. So while everyone thinks Islam is only peaceful to muslims, you have to define which muslims are peaceful to which muslims. The Wahabi’s terrorized the ME for a very long time and even forced the House of Saud to get in bed with them. Islam is only peaceful if the muslim sitting next to you believes in the same way you do in Islam. Else off with your head! Just look at ISIS.

He obviously said more. So they cut him off before he got to HIS point.

Logic dictates that HIS point was not in agreement with this claim - otherwise they would have included it.

If you write down twelve things that define a cult...at least ten of the definitions will fit perfectly for Islam. It’s nothing more than a mass movement of people, under threat.

As for the Pope? I’m not sure how you’d define fake. He wears the hat, has a cross, and probably would pass a 100-question quiz. Does he have an agenda outside of the normal priorities? Maybe.

Indeed.

The Pope is an idiot.

"Many, many say: No, the Koran is a book of peace - that terrorism is not Islam"

The pope is paraphrasing what he says many say. Do you have more of the clip? If this is all you have, please don't call yourself a Conservative, or a patriot, or a good Christian.

I don't know what the hell the pope said - maybe he did mean that the Koran is a peace-loving book. All we can know for certain from this clip is that he is paraphrasing others, whom he may or may not agree with, right?

The Pope strikes again.

The Pope didn't say what the headline said he did--He said "some people" say that Islam is a religion on peace.

After reviewing the linked video. I agree with you. He didn't. And in defense of his lack of frankness, the Lord did tell his disciples the following:

Matt. 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

And Saint Malachy said this about the "last pope" (supposedly the one now):

In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit [i.e., as bishop]. Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills [i.e. Rome] will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End.

However Pope Francis travels among friends and under guard. Where is his adherence to the command to be frank and also the command to let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No?’

Perhaps all churches, and their leaders, should recall a warning to the last church written to, in the last book of our common Bible:

Rev. 3:15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.

Maybe, just maybe the Pope should actually read the koran and surahs and find out how evil they really are before spewing PC garbage and misleading people.

He is agreeing with them

When he is quoting them, he is NOT contradicting them, he is quoting them because that is his answer, too

For the first time in history, Islamic prayers and readings from the Quran will be heard at the Vatican on Sunday, in a move by Pope Francis to usher in peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
Francis issued the invitation to Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas during his visit last week to Jordan, Israel, and the Palestinian Authority.

Rick Warren builds bridge to Muslims
Through years of outreach, Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren is part of an effort named King’s Way that’s attempting to bring evangelical Christians and Muslims together. By JIM HINCH / FOR THE REGISTER
Published: Feb. 23, 2012 Updated: Aug. 21, 2013 1:17 p.m.
The Rev. Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest and one of America’s most influential Christian leaders, has embarked on an effort to heal divisions between evangelical Christians and Muslims by partnering with Southern California mosques and proposing a set of theological principles that includes acknowledging that Christians and Muslims worship the same God.
The effort, informally dubbed King’s Way, caps years of outreach between Warren and Muslims. Warren has broken Ramadan fasts at a Mission Viejo mosque, met Muslim leaders abroad and addressed 8,000 Muslims at a national convention in Washington D.C.
Saddleback worshippers have invited Muslims to Christmas dinner and played interfaith soccer at a picnic in Irvine attended by more than 300 people.

This is even more amazing, knowing that their prayer led by a Muslim at the Vatican, contained verses from the Koran that condemned the unbeliever with death, and what was supposed to be a meeting of peace and reconciliation:

“On June 8, 2014 — Pentecost Sunday — the Vatican hosted an “interfaith event” that included prayers by Christian priests, a Jewish rabbi, and a Muslim imam. The occasion waswell-publicized in advance by the Holy See as a “pause in politics” that would promote peace between the Israel and the Palestinians.
During his visit to Israel and the Palestinian Authority the previous month, Pope Francis had invited Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to attend the event. Both leaders accepted the invitation, and sat with the Pope while prayers were said and chanted in the Vatican garden.
The imam, however, went beyond the script that had been handed to the Vatican in advance. He included in his chanted prayer verses 284-286 of Sura 2 in the Koran, the last part of which calls for Allah to grant the Muslims victory over the infidels. His words were broadcast live to a television audience, but they were in Arabic, so most non-Muslim viewers had no idea what he had said.”

Sura 2: Unto Allah (belongeth) whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; and whether ye make known what is in your minds or hide it, Allah will bring you to account for it. He will forgive whom He will and He will punish whom He will. Allah is Able to do all things. (284) The messenger believeth in that which hath been revealed unto him from his Lord and (so do) believers. Each one believeth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers - We make no distinction between any of His messengers - and they say: We hear, and we obey. (Grant us) Thy forgiveness, our Lord. Unto Thee is the journeying. (285) Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget, or miss the mark! Our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as thou didst lay on those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! Pardon us, absolve us and have mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk. (286)
