Harsh words for suicide bombers don't seem to work

Istanbul-- a 28-year-old Muslim Syrian national blew himself up in close proximity to the famous Blue Mosque, a famous tourist area. The scorecard reads as follows: 10 people dead, 15 injured, according to the Turkish government. 

Among the wounded was at least 6 Germans, a Norweigian and a Peruvian. A South Korean tourist suffered a minor finger injury. The Syrian bomber was scattered here and there and everywhere and it was impossible for his 72 virgins to find any usable remains.

The way Germany and Denmark are dealing with Islamic jihad is by warning its citizens visiting Turkey to stay away from crowds outside [unguarded] tourist attractions. German officials said they expect further violent clashes and "terrorist attacks" across Turkey, according to their website. They urged travelers to stay clear of demonstrations and gatherings, particularly in large cities, [and, I suspect, churches and other non-Islamic houses of worship].

The explosion was at a park only about 25 yards from the Blue Mosque and could be heard from several neighborhoods. The explosion occurred around 10:20 a.m. One government official anonymously told the Associated Press the explosion was believed to be "terror-linked." 

Gee, I wonder what was their first clue.

Omer Celik, spokesman for Prime Minister Ahmet Davultoglu's ruling party, mounted an attack of his own, using words like "a heinous attack" and calling a meeting with the interior minister to discuss it in greater depth.

Authorities imposed a news blackout, much like the media in the United States whenever it doesn't bode well for the Obama administration, and banned the media from showing images of the dead and wounded, [that is, what the results of a religious war looks like] nor report any details of the investigation.

Turkish police wisely sealed off the area perchance another Muslim martyr was waiting for a gathering of infidels. A police chopper hovered above the scene.

Last year there were two major jihadist attacks. In Suruc, on Turkey's border with Syria, over 30 people were killed by Islamic State suicide attacks in the name of Allah and the caliphate.

In October outside of Ankara's main train station, a peace rally was taking place and two suicide-vest wearing jihadists blew themselves up and killed over 100 people. It was Turkey's deadliest attack and was carried out by a local ISIS cell.

Two arrests of suspected ISIS jihadists were made in December by Turkish authorities. The ISIS Muslims were planning to kill as many unbelievers during the New Year's celebrations in the capital.

Nothing of consequence seems to be getting accomplished to stop ISIS "extremism" aka religious war." 

Being outraged, holding meetings, condemning the violence with words is ISIS's version of  knee-slapping comedy show that Islam forbids them to watch.

Pope Appeaser? You Decide

The Pope visited Istanbul's Blue Mosque and prayed facing Mecca. The Grand Mufti of Istanbul, stood beside him and in respect of the Pope's gesture, prayed facing the Vatican.

 If you believe the second sentence, you might be on crack. The Grand Mufti did no such thing.

What is happening to Christianity? We can easily see how the American media is totally disrespectful to it, and we constantly see how Christians are being forced to remove all displays of religious symbols that gave them comfort. We see small towns refusing to allow Christmas trees to be displayed in their square--even refusing to allow them to be called Christmas trees, or to refer to the holiday with that word.

But the Pope? Is he planning to convert? Mecca?

Tolerance is a two-way street. If you give it but don't get it, you become a victim of your stupidity. You get laughed at, spit upon, and you turn the other cheek for the next loogie.

This Pope is an appeaser and in this time in history, being one is a very dangerous thing.

To Islam, Jesus, (Isa, in their tongue) is actually venerated as a Muslim prophet: Jesus declared, "We are Muslims" (Sura 5:111) and the Islamic Jesus is not the Christian Son of the Father.

The Koran's version, Isa, was not crucified and didn't die but was raised up by Allah (4:157-158), and when Isa returns, "he will fight for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill pigs, and abolish the poll tax [jizya]. Allah will destroy all religions except Islam." (Sunan Abu Dawud 27:4310).

So why in the world would a Pope of the Catholic Church believe that praying to Mecca is acceptable when to Islamic scripture, no other religion is acceptable? Remember, once that "poll tax" is abolished, so too will the protection be abolished for Christians and Jews.
