Muslims say they will conquer the world...

[Patrick_Gray]

The Mohammedans have boasted, tried and failed to conquer Europe before. I suggest we all read this poem (poetryfoundation.org/poem/177439) and pray the rosary. Lepanto was wo because of the Rosary and the intercession of Our Lady. I pray there are enough knights left in Christendom and that Our Lady will save us again.

The correct term is Muslims. I find being labeled as a “papist” to be offensive and I assume they feel the same concerning “Mohammedan”.

Only because they misunderstand it. When you call someone a Confucian or a Calvinist you do not imply that they worship either Confucius or John Calvin. Likewise, with the term “Mohammedan”, we are just saying that they follow Mohammad.

“Papist” is different as it was always intended as an anti-Catholic slur. “Mohammedan” had no such offensive intentions behind its usage when the term was coined.

We fought radical muslin in my country with rosary, and we won. So don’t wory Jesus and his mother will protect us. My church was bombed on christmas eve but we build new one bigger. Some of protestant churches was burnt together with their pastor, burnt alive, yet some member rebuild again. Just trust Jesus and his mother. Peace.

They wish to be known as Muslims. To call them otherwise is to be disrespectful and ignore the Church’s teachings concerning charity toward others.

Charity doesn’t mean not calling a spade a spade.

You mean back when men loved their country and were honest about who their enemies were? Perhaps you’re right about the negative associations, but that doesn’t make the term any less correct.

And frankly, Mohammedans could stand to be a lot less sensitive, and the West a lot more assertive.

 

[Eric_Hilbert]

Please use correct terms not slurs toward other religions.

Very disturbing video; youtu.be/Ne6W3ceMc_cin Belgium the largest religious group are the muslims; because they are not affected by modernism, they are the only ones that make kids…50 years they will be the majority and they want to change democracy into sharia, the muslim law…
Somebody forgot something on those immigration papers…
And they are allowed to skip evolutionism in the science classes!!!? How did they do it?

totally agree thats y they go all over the world multiplieng then they will have a majority that is their plan heard that on you tube

Let them think they will control the world. When they are praying is when you hit them and hit them hard.

Metan,

The remedy you are using, Our Blessed Mother and the Rosary, are the very means John Paul II said would only resolve terrorism.

I ran into some ‘Catholic prophesies’ the very day he was shot in Rome, back in 1982. I didn’t think Catholics had prophecies.

It said some day that Our Blessed Mother would be very instrumental in helping the Muslims convert to Christ. Consider that during the Battle of Lepanto, the pope was praying to Mary of the New World, Guadalupe and praying the rosary. But October 7 was named for our Lady of the Rosary rather than Mary of Guadalupe.

What I found most interesting is that the Spanish, when asking Juan Diego her name, they thought he said, ‘Guadalupe’, a river in Spain and a place where Mary appeared to the Spanish a very long time ago, after tradition has it St. James the Greater, one of the apostles, saw his mission there a failure. Conversions began there.

However the pronunciation of the Spanish word, ‘Guadalupe’, sounds like in their Aztec language, ‘She who crushes the head of the serpent’.

That’s a folk etymology. It’s actually from Arabic and Latin, meaning “Valley of the Wolf”.

I sincerely doubt the terrorist form of Islam will gain any real hold on the civilized world. Most people recognize the terrorism for what it is. The only reason Islam is treated the way it is is that it is seen as a minority religion. They are playing the victim and claiming discrimination. While in some cases I will admit, yes they are being too widely labeled as terrorists, and many aare peaceful. Other claims for pity are far too silly to take them seriously (“oh, they only killed all those people in the US embassy because they were offended, we should pity those poor mocked Muslims even though Christians get mocked far more and nobody dies”).

If Islam were to actually gain momentum, get converts, and become more mainstream, all the liberals will see that Islam isn’t any more tolerant of sin than Christianity is.

Unfortunately, today it is as difficult to find a Western nation where the native population is not dying as it is to find an Islamic nation where the native population is not exploding. Today, an aging, dying Christian West is pressing the Thrid World and the Islamic world to accept contraception, abortion, and sterilization as the West has done. But why should they enter a suicide pact with us when they stand to inherit the earth when we are gone? Irony of ironies. Sad but true.

Hi King. :nope: We must continue to do as they did at Lepanto,and as Mother Mary said at Fatima, rosary and penance.

God Bless

Unfortunately, today it is as difficult to find a Western nation where the native population is not dying as it is to find an Islamic nation where the native population is not exploding.

Not so. Most Muslim nations have experienced a precipitate drop in birthrates in the past 30 years.

Demographers measure population growth by looking at the “total fertility rate” or TFR. TFR is the average number of babies a woman has in her lifetime. A TFR of 2.1 is replacement rate. If TFR falls below 2.1 then the current cohort of women of childbearing age is not replacing itself.

Below I’ve shown TFR for selected Muslim countries for 1960, 1980 and 2010. Notice the steep decline between 1980 and 2010.

Bangladesh: 6.72, 6.37, 2.20

Egypt: 6.65, 5.37, 2.69

Indonesia: 5.67, 4.43, 2.12

Iran: 6.94, 6.48, 1.67

Pakistan: 6.60, 6.54, 3.42

Turkey: 6.12, 4.45, 2.06

The largest Muslim country, Indonesia, has seen TFR fall by more than 50% since 1980. It is barely at replacement rate.

Iran is below replacement rate.

Turkey is down to replacement rate.

NB: Many of these countries still have growing populations because they have a large cohort of women of childbearing age due to previous high birthrates. But the pace is slowing and the trend is down.

The drop in TFR has been a global phenomenon. Europe is ahead of the pack but the rest of the world seems to be following.

In 1960 demographers were predicting a global population of 8.5 billion by 2000. Here we are in 2012 and global population is barely above 7 billion.

 

[JakeG]

By way of comparison I thought I’d show TFR for the two most populous countries in the world. Again, the numbers refer to 1960, 1980 and 2010

China: 5.47, 2.63, 1.60

India: 5.87, 4.68, 2.59

China is now well below replacement rate. It’s population has stabilised at around 1.3 billion but will soon start declining.

India is still growing.

Russia with a TFR of 1.54 and a declining life expectancy is facing demographic collapse. Germany (TFR 1.39) is not far behind.

The US with TFR of 2.1 is at replacement. It is mainly the Latino Catholics who are keeping TFR up.

Catholic Italy has a TFR of 1.4, well below replacement.

However do bear in mind that while Europe is ahead of the curve, the rest of the world is experiencing plummeting birthrates.

On current trends total world population will stabilise at around 9 billion in 2050 and then start a gradual decline. But who knows?

dzheremi;10044835:

Spain was originally

Christian before being invaded by Muslims, though. That’s why it was called a “reconquista”. And they had really done nothing to antagonize the North African Muslims who would overrun the Peninsula.
So, Muslim invasion of Iberia= bad, invasion by pagan and Christian Germanic tribes prior to the Muslims= ok, invasion of pagan Rome prior to the Germanic tribes= ok, invasion of pagan Carthage prior to Rome= ok. Got it, thanks.

I didn’t see anything wrong with what dzheremi said, and quite franky I don’t understand the seemingly sarcasm in that post. Anyhow you’re right “Muslim invasion of Iberia= bad.” Imho, things in this world that hinders or hurts the Church equals bad.

The Five Pillars of Catholicism:

1.The daily recitation of the Apostles’ Creed
2.Ritual worship five times a day by means of the Liturgy of the Hours
3.Almsgiving
4.Fasting from dawn to dusk during the holy season of Lent
5.Making at least one pilgrimage during one’s life to the Holy Land

I don’t see where you are going with that. You made a list, didn’t explain it and it doesn’t make sense because **Catholicism doesn’t have five pillars **(though I sometimes I worry the Church does has a fifth column).
