May God Bless this dear Christian Lady with His loving protection, in Jesus name.
I can’t stand it when I see those stupid coexist bumper stickers
All the explosions and beheadings are enough. Preach it, sister.
Some Christians have the courage...and the wisdom...to speak the truth.Sadly,almost none of those Christians hold positions of “influence” in the *Catholic* Church.
I'm no fan of Islam, but this is not a fair criticism.
This is very nearly the exact opposite of what Mohammed put in the Koran, which requires the testimony of four Muslim men to convict a woman of adultery. It was intended to provide protection for women against such charges.
This is not the way it is often applied in the Muslim world, but that's due to misapplication of the Koran, not the Koran itself.
Sister Hatune is a saint. People want to keep their heads in the sand.
“”In 50 years they will kill your grandchildren before your eyes. The Middle East is already here. It is here. It is not far from here. It is at your door.” “”
It’s exactly this that has all of us concerned. We fear not for ourselves as we can fight but what will it be like for our children and grandchildren? Not a pleasant prospect.
Good for the good nun. More please!
““Sister, that’s enough,” fearing that the nun’s rhetoric would incite violence against Muslims in the community.””
No wonder nothing gets done about this menace. We have a few brave ones (mostly women) willing to speak up and others who are too afraid of their own shadows to help spread the alarm. “incite violence against muslims” - presumably she’s speaking to church groups and other nuns are afraid the members will commit violence? What kind of ninnies are these people?
If true, this is revolting.
These COWARDLY, WORTHLESS, GUTLESS “Christians” aren’t worth the proverbial bucket of warm spit.
I’M sick of so many who just will NOT FIGHT.
Grow some balls—before THE AXE FALLS!!
I know that feeling. When was the last time anyone, anywhere, ever, saw a granola-eating Mohammedan hippie in a majority-Mohammedan country with that bumper sticker?
Liberal nuns are real idiots
How do you know that these Catholic nuns were “liberal”? I have yet to see any so-called “conservative” Catholic nun or member of the hierarchy say anything close to what this Orthodox nun has stated. Now, ask a truly Traditional Catholic nun or priest (those that believe the Catholic Faith as it was pre-Vatican II) and you’ll get the Truth.
I say the nuns that departed the lecture were liberal due to their criticism of the truth which is that Islam is at war with all non-Islams and want to dominate or kill us.
The Orthodox nun is correct. I have seen many silly liberal nuns. Some with nail polish and jewelry.
But I’m saying that they could very well be what you and others here would normally consider “conservative” nuns.
The western rite “Nuns” should read a little more history and understand their faith. One is not called to “love” evil or to remain silent about it. We see how the Apostles dealt with the Jews of their time for persecuting and crucifying Jesus as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles. Would these “modern” nuns also criticize the Apostles?
Phillip Schaff wrote a concise History of the Church in which he deals with Islam. Every western religious and clergy should be familiar with it.

Chapter III, Vol. IV
MOHAMMEDANISM IN ITS RELATION TO CHRISTIANITY.
“There is no God but God, and Mohammed is his apostle.”—The Koran.
“There is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all.”—1 Tim. ii. 5, 6.
While new races and countries in Northern and Western Europe, unknown to the apostles, were added to the Christian Church, we behold in Asia and Africa the opposite spectacle of the rise and progress of a rival religion which is now acknowledged by more than one-tenth of the inhabitants of the globe. It is called “Mohammedanism” from its founder, or “Islâm,” from its chief virtue, which is absolute surrender to the one true God. Like Christianity, it had its birth in the Shemitic race, the parent of the three monotheistic religions, but in an obscure and even desert district, and had a more rapid, though less enduring success.
But what a difference in the means employed and the results reached! Christianity made its conquest by peaceful missionaries and the power of persuasion, and carried with it the blessings of home, freedom and civilization. Mohammedanism conquered the fairest portions of the earth by the sword and cursed them by polygamy, slavery, despotism and desolation. The moving power of Christian missions was love to God and man; the moving power of Islâm was fanaticism and brute force. Christianity has found a home among all nations and climes; Mohammedanism, although it made a most vigorous effort to conquer the world, is after all a religion of the desert, of the tent and the caravan, and confined to nomad and savage or half-civilized nations, chiefly Arabs, Persians, and Turks. It never made an impression on Europe except by brute force; it is only encamped, not really domesticated, in Constantinople, and when it must withdraw from Europe it will leave no trace behind.
Islâm in its conquering march took forcible possession of the lands of the Bible, and the Greek church, seized the throne of Constantine, overran Spain, crossed the Pyrenees, and for a long time threatened even the church of Rome and the German empire, until it was finally repulsed beneath the walls of Vienna. The Crusades which figure so prominently in the history of mediaeval Christianity, originated in the desire to wrest the holy land from the followers of “the false prophet,” and brought the East in contact with the West. The monarchy and the church of Spain, with their architecture, chivalry, bigotry, and inquisition, emerged from a fierce conflict with the Moors. Even the Reformation in the sixteenth century was complicated with the Turkish question, which occupied the attention of the diet of Augsburg as much as the Confession of the Evangelical princes and divines. Luther, in one of his most popular hymns, prays for deliverance from “the murdering Pope and Turk,” as the two chief enemies of the gospel137; and the Anglican Prayer Book, in the collect for Good Friday, invokes God “to have mercy upon all Turks,” as well as upon “Jews, Infidels, and Heretics.”138
The danger for Western Christendom from that quarter has long since passed away; the “unspeakable” Turk has ceased to be unconquerable, but the Asiatic and a part of the East European portion of the Greek church are still subject to the despotic rule of the Sultan, whose throne in Constantinople has been for more than four hundred years a standing insult to Christendom.
Mohammedanism then figures as a hostile force, as a real Ishmaelite in church history; it is the only formidable rival which Christianity ever had, the only religion which for a while at least aspired to universal empire.
