“There is also the superstition of the Ishmaelites which to this day prevails and keeps people in error, being a forerunner of the Antichrist…. From that time to the present a false prophet named Mohammed has appeared in their midst. This man, after having chanced upon the Old and New Testaments and likewise, it seems, having conversed with an Arian monk, devised his own heresy. Then, having insinuated himself into the good graces of the people by a show of seeming piety, he gave out that a certain book had been sent down to him from heaven. He had set down some ridiculous compositions in this book of his and he gave it to them as an object of veneration.”
St. John Damascene (d. 749), Syrian Arab Catholic monk and scholar. Quoted from his book On Heresies under the section On the Heresy of the Ishmaelites (in The Fathers of the Church. Vol. 37.

taqiyya ???? (alternative spellings taqiyeh, taqiya, taqiyah, tuqyah) is a form of religious dissimulation,[1] or a legal dispensation whereby a
believing individual can deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts while they are at risk of significant persecution.

[JimRed]

Can you say “TAQIYYA”? I knew you could!

It is OK for Muslims to lie to “infidels”. Bottom line.

If Mohammed was a prophet, what was his prophecy?

Nothing.

Mohamand’s motto was: “Kill, kill, kill”.

Muhammed was the type of false prophets Jesus warned about.

May St. John the Baptist protect Islam... Pope St. John Paul II

[vladimir998]

Doesn’t effect me or you.

[ebb tide]

Why? Do you think God rejected St John Paul II’s request? If so, why did Francis declare the man a saint?

[ebb tide]

Doesn’t effect me or you.

Maybe not yet; but it's already affected James Foley.
