Report: ISIS Terrorists Planning To Assassinate Pope Francis, Italy Issues Nationwide Terror Alert

Not surprising. The “prophet” of Islam himself, under the false impression that Rome somehow referred to all of Christendom, promised that Rome would one day be conquered by Muslims. As such, in the eyes of ISIS, the Pope is “the greatest exponent of the Christian religions.” The god of Islam evidently had no idea that other Christian denominations would one day exist outside of Catholicism …

“The building of Bayt al-Maqdis (al-Aqsa in Jerusalem) will be followed by the destruction of Yathrib (Madinah), which will be followed by a fierce battle (great war), which will be followed by the conquest of Rome, which will be followed by the appearance of the Dajjal [Antichrist].” – The “prophet” of Islam,Translation of Sunan Abu-Dawud, Battles (Kitab Al-Malahim), Book 37, Number 4281.

CBS News – “A new report claims that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is targeting Pope Francis — a report that the Vatican says is simply not true.

According to Il Tempo, Israeli sources reportedly told the Italian newspaper that the pope is ‘in the crosshairs of ISIS.’ The report stated that Francis is being targeted because he is ‘the greatest exponent of the Christian religions’ and the ‘bearer of false truth.’

The Vatican, though, denounced the report.

‘There is nothing serious to this,’ Father Federico Lombardi S.J., a Vatican spokesman, told Catholic News Agency. ‘There is no particular concern in the Vatican. This news has no foundation.’

The Catholic News Agency reports that Italy has issued a nationwide terror alert, despite no imminent threats or specifics about a potential attack on the country.

On Friday, Britain raised the terror threat level from substantial to severe, meaning that a terrorist attack is considered highly likely.” Read more.

Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradawi quoted this hadith a few years ago and added: ‘This means that Islam will return to Europe as a conqueror and victor, after being expelled from it twice – once from the South, from Andalusia, and a second time from the East, when it knocked several times on the door of Athens.’ And the Saudi Sheikh Muhammad bin Abd Al-Rahman Al-’Arifi, imam of the mosque of King Fahd Defense Academy, once boasted: ‘We will control the land of the Vatican; we will control Rome and introduce Islam in it’ …” Read more.
