Hamas Cleric Predicts 'Rome Will Be Conquered by Islam'(No worries, Jimmy will save the day!)
fox news ^ | 4/14/2008 | fox news

A sermon last Friday by a prominent Muslim cleric and Hamas member of the Palestinian parliament openly declared that "the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital," would soon be conquered by Islam.

The fiery sermon, delivered by Yunis al-Astal and aired on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV, predicted that Rome would become "an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread though Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, even Eastern Europe."

"Allah has chosen you for Himself and for His religion," al-Astal preached, "so that you will serve as the engine pulling this nation to the phase of succession, security and consolidation of power, and even to conquests through da'wa and military conquests of the capitals of the entire world.

"Very soon, Allah willing, Rome will be conquered, just like Constantinople was, as was prophesized by our prophet Muhammad," he added.

Al-Astal last June preached how it was the duty of Palestinian women to martyr themselves by becoming homicide bombers.

Nah Jimmy doesn’t really need a burkha—a nice Yasser Arafat doo-rag pulled over his silly looking mug would be OK.

I don't know about Mohammed, but there is a well-known Catholic Prophesy that the Church and the Holy father will flee Rome to the safety of a country with the symbol of the Eagle and that Rome will be destroyed (as will Paris). Some think that country will be America. But I think Poland is the more logical choice.

Nevertheless, all Christians know th end to the story. And it's not a happy ending for Islam.

They’re telling us what they plan to do. Sane countries would deport them immediately.

Hamas MP/Cleric’s Friday Sermon: We Will Conquer Rome, the Two Americas, and Eastern Europe

In a Friday sermon that aired on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV on April 11, 2008, Yunis Al-Astal, Hamas MP and cleric, told worshipers that Rome, “the capital of the Catholics, or the Crusader capital,” would soon be conquered by Islam, just as Constantinople was. It then, he said, would become “an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread through Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, and even Eastern Europe.”

How it SHOULD go ... (FYI, Dallas represents us, the Mangalores represents the Muzzies ... just to make sure) ... from the 5th Element.

Korben Dallas: We need to find the leader, Mangalores won’t fight without the leader.
Aknot: One more shot, and we start killing hostages!
Korben Dallas: That’s the leader.
Aknot: Send someone to negotiate.
Fog: [as Dallas looks at him] Uh, I-I’ve never negotiated before.
Korben Dallas: Do you mind if I try?
Fog: No, sure, sure, sure.
[shouts]
Fog: We’re sending somebody in to negotiate!
[Corben walks into the room and shoots Aknot between the eyes. As he falls, the other Mangalores drop their weapons and bow over him, keening]
Korben Dallas: Anybody else want to negotiate?
Fog: Wh-where did he learn to n-negotiate like that?
President Lindberg: [looking at General Munro] I wonder.

If they try, they’re toast. They will have started the Crusades themselves again.

Right now there are some Evangelicals laughing and hoping it's true!

You wish.

I haven't met any evangelicals with that kind of attitude ever, in the thirty years that I've been a Christian.

Why are you stirring the pot trying to create hard feelings?

Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.

Good ole Jack Chick, I assume.

Well, he isn’t fond of Catholics, but I don’t think he wants them replaced by Islam, either. So the example doesn’t hold.

He might need something --just heard on the radio that Israel is refusing to give him Secret Service protection for his visit! :)

Of course, when he talks of Rome being "conquered", he's not referring to Catholics voluntarily converting to Islam of their own free will and being won over through spiritual enlightenment stimulated by theological debate and divine grace.

He's referring to a demographic invasion and imposition of Islamic values on an apathetic and flaccid post-Christian west, by force if necessary. A violent overthrow. A bloody, military conquest.

Plunder, pillage and kill. It's the only thing they know.

I wonder if open statements of intent like this will help to wake up the slumbering secular humanists of Europe? Doubtful. They're completely lost in their blindness and still regard Christianity as enemy #1.

If that’s true, maybe he won’t go. Why doesn’t this dude just stick to having houses built for poor folks—seems like the only thing he’s done right since 1976.
