Amid all the festivities, that double jihad suicide bombing wasn’t even worth mentioning.
Fresh from his widely reported contretemps with President Donald Trump, Pope Leo XIV traveled to Algeria on Monday, where the pontiff clearly intended to continue in the More-Peaceful-Than-Thou vein of his response to the president. “I will continue,” Leo declared, “to speak out loudly against war, looking to promote peace, promoting dialogue and multilateral relationships among states to find just solutions to problems.“And he did. But some in Algeria were refusing to cooperate.
Early on Monday afternoon, the pope wrote: “Communion between Christians and Muslims takes shape under the mantle of Our Lady of Africa. Here, in #Algeria, the maternal love of Lalla Meryem [Lady Mary] gathers everyone as children, within our rich diversity, in our shared aspiration for dignity, love, justice, and peace. In a world where division and wars sow pain and death, living in unity and peace is a compelling sign. #ApostolicJourney.”
In bringing up how “division and war sow pain and death,” Pope Leo was clearly contrasting his trip to Algeria with President Trump’s war in Iran. While the president of the United States made war upon the Islamic Republic of Iran, the pope was showing by traveling in peace to another Muslim country that there was another way. Christians and Muslims, you see, could celebrate “our rich diversity” instead of lobbing missiles at one another, and live in “unity and peace” instead of mutual antagonism.
And it was true: living in unity and peace is indeed a compelling sign. In Algeria, however, some Muslims were clearly determined that such a sign would not be shown to the world.Morocco World News reported on Monday that there were “two suicide attacks in Blida today,” just as the pope was arriving in Algeria. Blida is a city of about 200,000 people, around 28 miles southwest of Algiers.
Morocco World News noted that according to eyewitnesses,“two individuals were wearing explosive belts and tried to target separate locations,” but that “police officers opened fire on the two attackers before they could reach their targets.” The jihadis “then detonated their explosives.” Two police officers were killed in the first blast; the second “affected a food processing facility in the same province.” There were other deaths: “The casualties and death toll have not yet been disclosed by official media.” --->READ MORE HERE
One million Catholics shrank to 8,000 through mass murder.
n 1955, Algeria had over 1 million Catholics and 140,000 Jews. Today, as Pope Leo visits Algeria, there are some 8,000 Catholics in Algeria and there are fewer than 200 Jews.
99% of the population of what was one of the old territories of Christianity are Sunni Muslims.
Was Islam so popular that all the Christians and Jews decided to convert? Not at all. They were persecuted, murdered, tortured and driven out by Islamic violence that occurred in our lifetimes.
Christians and Jews had lived in Algeria since Roman times. Now they’re gone.
This Christian genocide was endorsed by major world powers, aided and abetted by the French government and celebrated in movies, books and classroom lessons. And by Pope Leo XIV.
Alongside paying tribute to the 19 Martyrs of Algeria, beatified in 2018, priests, monks and nuns, including 7 beheaded monks and 2 nuns murdered on the way to mass, by Islamic terrorists who later received amnesty for their crimes, Pope Leo also paid tribute to Muslim Jihadists.
Pope Leo visited Algeria’s so-called Martyrs’ Monument, “Maqam Echahid,” located above the El Mujahid or Jihadi Museum, erected by former Islamic-Socialist terrorist dictator Houari Boumédiène who had headed the ALN, one of whose specialties was the “Smile of Kabylie” in which the tongue was pulled through a slit throat, and which was responsible for the Oran Massacre of Christians and Jews thereby ethnically cleansing a formerly non-Muslim city.
Women and children had their throats cut by Muslim mobs bent on slaughter. 250,000 non-Muslims had lived in Oran. After the massacres, over 200,000 survivors fled.
Pope Leo XIV visited the Jihadi site and in his remarks claimed that “our presence here at this monument pays tribute to this history of Algeria and to the very spirit of a people who fought for the independence, dignity and sovereignty of this nation.”
Praising the Arab Muslim Jihadis who had set out to eliminate Christianity from Algeria, the pontiff declared that “they lost their lives but in doing so, they gave them up for the love of their own people. May their example sustain the people of Algeria and all of us on our journey, for true freedom is not merely inherited, it is chosen anew every day.”
The “love of their own people” was based on a fervent hatred of all non-Muslims, acted out through horrible atrocities, including the deliberate murder of non-Muslim children by Muslims.
The ‘martyrs’ of the Jihadi Museum under the monument at which Pope Leo made his remarks include Mohammed Larbi Ben M’Hidi, the Muslim terrorist leader responsible for bombings and shootings against non-Muslim civilians including the Milk-Bar bombing during which a Muslim woman planted a bomb in a shop filled with mothers and children having milkshakes. --->READ MORE HERE
