NEW YORK (LifeSiteNews) — Cardinal Timothy Dolan has wrongly claimed that Muslims are “a good example” to Catholics “on our Lenten journey.”
In a video message dedicated to the beginning of the month-long season of Ramadan on March 11, Dolan expressed his appreciation for the Islamic feast.
“Blessing and graces to our Islamic brothers and sisters because their holy season of Ramadan begins today,” the archbishop of New York said.
“It’s a lot like their version of lent, which we are going through now as Catholics, as Christians.”
“Our Islamic brothers and sisters take very seriously fasting, acts of sacrifice and self-denial and penance, deeper prayer,” he continued. “Boy, they take that very, very seriously during this month of Ramadan. They’re a good example to us as we are on our Lenten journey to kind of be in solidarity with our Islamic brothers and sisters.”

Despite the superficial similarities between Catholic Lent and the Islamic season of Ramadan – both include some form of fasting and prayer – the purpose of Ramadan and the Islamic faith is diametrically opposed to Christianity.
While Lent is a time for Christians to prepare spiritually and physically for the Triduum, the celebration of Jesus Christ’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection, Ramadan has a very different outlook.
As the Islamic scholar Robert Spencer explained, Ramadan is a season in which Islamic attacks against non-Muslims, including Catholics, increase every year.
“[T]he idea of Ramadan providing a possibility of outreach to Muslims is a tragicomic display of the failures and inherent limitations of the ‘dialogue’ imperative,” Spencer said in comments given to the Catholic Herald.
“Ramadan is a month in which Muslims are to redouble their efforts to please Allah,” the author of more than 20 books continued. “The highest form of service to Allah, according to Muhammad, is jihad, which principally involves warfare against unbelievers.”
“Every Ramadan, therefore, we see an increase in jihad attacks. The idea that this is a time to seek friendship and cooperation with Muslims is laughably naive and demonstrates abject ignorance of Islam,” Spencer stated.

Spencer explained in a 2016 article published in FrontPage Magazine that Muslims are exhorted “to grow more generous and kind toward their fellow Muslims” during Ramadan.
“However, the Qur’an says: ‘Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves’ (48:29). If the Ramadan imperative is to become more devout, the Muslim who applies himself diligently to the Ramadan observance will simultaneously become more both merciful to his fellow Muslims and more severe against the unbelievers,” the Islamic scholar wrote.
“Murdering infidels thus doesn’t contradict the spirit of Ramadan; it embodies it,” he concluded.
According to Islamic Sharia law, Christians and Jews who refuse to convert to Islam are not recognized as full citizens in Islamic countries but are considered semi-slaves called “dhimmi” who have to pay a special tax called “jizyah.”
The OpenDoors “Word Watch List” shows that the majority of the top 50 countries in which Christians are most persecuted are Islamic states.

Moreover, the fasting rules observed by Muslims during Ramadan have been criticized for closely resembling feast days in practice and bordering on gluttony, as Christian apologist and Islam critic David Wood explained. During Ramadan, practicing Muslims have to abstain from food and drink during daylight hours but are allowed to eat as much as they want during the night. Muslims usually have very large “iftar” (breaking of the fast) meals after sunset and another large meal before sunrise. Reports and studies have shown that Muslims often report weight gain and digestive problems due to overeating during the month of Ramadan.

So he should convert. Scumbag.
Muslims are pagans, Cardinal. They pray to a rock.
They are butchering Christians in Nigeria by the hundreds each week, and this pathetic simp PRAISES them??
Always had deep suspicions about Cardinal Dolan. Have to wonder if their are things in his past known to people who hate and fear the Catholic Church as a way to keep him compliant with the prevailing political narrative.
What a heathen douche.
Fat moral eunuch parroting that false pope Bergoglio.Hecwas ALWAYS a sniviling fat capon.
I think he is a mental castrati like his boss.
This ignorant clown knows nothing about Islam and their phony “prophet.” They deny the deity of Christ saying “far be it for Allah to have a son.” Yet Allah had three daughters: Al-uzza Allat and Manat.
The West is doomed
Muslims are never a good example for anhy Cnhristian, becaiuse ALLAH is an entirely separate divinity from God or YHWH.
We are told by YWHW that there are many ids, and of those many Allah is one.
Even people like Dolan, an ecclesiatical officer make the mistatje of assuming that God ( YHWH) and Allah are the same.They are not.
NO, Muslims are not a good example. Theirs if a religion of submission. Gods followers walk a path of redemption via the exercise of free will.This is also the reason women are subjected to inequality,slavery and isolation in Islam, and in the paths of YHWH, women are regarded as equal to men or of greater wisdom.
Never say that a Muslim is a good example of crossover pract’s nations.ices with God’s way. It is a glaringly ignorant false- hood. THe religious paths are completely different and have nothing in common though many want similarities to appear for their own purposes of having Islam conquer God’s nations.
This list is just for starters. Many more atrocities committed by Muzzies.
If that was happening the other way around it would be international news; we would send a carrier group and rain down hellfire.
Most probably haven’t even heard of this but there’s a war against Hindus in Muslim Bangladesh. Are we to emulate this behavior also?
Well, they are better than transgender sex workers. He’s improving.
Dolan is a Laughing Stock!
Once you get past all the murdering, suicide bombing, head-chopping, rape, enslavement, genital mutilation, pedophilia and genocide, they’re pretty good folks!
These people are lunatics. They think if they fawn over Muslims, praise them and defer, they will not be attacked.
Such actions portray weakness to Muslims and result in targeting of such weaklings and accentuate aggressive behavior.
Dolan is a buffoon of the first order, an embarrassment to American Catholics. The Archdiocese of New York deserves a leader its Catholics can hold in high regard, one who makes them proud of their Faith.
