Sharia Law: Coming To A City Near You?

 

Here in New York City (aka "Sodom on the Hudson" or the "Big Mohammedan Apple") the people are on the verge of electing Zohran Mamdani, a 33 year old NYS Assemblyman, as the first Moslem mayor. This would have been unthinkable only 15 years ago. Mamdani has the support of the wave of Moslem immigrants, who have a multitude of children, while members of the Vatican II sect contracept and barely replace themselves. The candidate of the infidels is also an avowed Socialist who wants all government services to be "free," by taxing the "rich." (Therefore, the harder I work, the less money I make, so I can subsidize others who don't work to have a better lifestyle). 

Islam poses an ever-growing threat to our world. Of course most people don't see it, and label anyone who exposes this evil sect as "Islamophobic," another made-up word (like "homophobic") that implies a mental illness ("phobia") for those who dare to disagree. I have sounded the warning against Islam here on this blog since its inception.  The rehabilitation of Islam began (where else?) with Vatican II. In its heretical document Nostra Aetate:

The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth, who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God. Though they do not acknowledge Jesus as God, they revere Him as a prophet. They also honor Mary, His virgin Mother; at times they even call on her with devotion. In addition, they await the day of judgment when God will render their deserts to all those who have been raised up from the dead. Finally, they value the moral life and worship God especially through prayer, almsgiving and fasting.

Since in the course of centuries not a few quarrels and hostilities have arisen between Christians and Moslems, this sacred synod urges all to forget the past and to work sincerely for mutual understanding and to preserve as well as to promote together for the benefit of all mankind social justice and moral welfare, as well as peace and freedom. (para. #3; Emphasis mine). 

In the document Lumen Gentium, it is heretically taught:

But the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place among whom are the Muslims: these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day. (para #16; Emphasis mine).

Two falsehoods are presented: (1) Moslems worship the same God as Catholics, and (2) it is more important to forget the murder and torture of Christians and to stop trying to convert Mohammedans to the One True Church; what matters is purely naturalistic "social justice" in "mutual understanding" with these barbarians. It is also presented as acceptable to view Christ as a mere "prophet" and to put the Satanic Mohammed on the same level with Our Lord. Sheer blasphemy. 

The first subtle brainwashing came in the form of changing the name by which followers of Islam were called. In the time of my Patron Saint, the great King St. Louis IX, the word Saracen was used. Its meaning is aptly "thief, marauder, plunderer." 

 (See books.google.com/books?id=W4H97SA6pMAC&pg=PA125#v=onepage&q&f=false).

The term Moor was used loosely as "infidel," and Mohammedan designated them as followers of the fake prophet they served.

Until I graduated high school in the early 1980s, all textbooks referred to the followers of Islam as Moslems--one of the terms I still use. Since the mid-1990s, the term was replaced by Muslim. The following explains why the change was made:

According to the Center for Nonproliferation Studies, "Moslem and Muslim are basically two different spellings for the same word." But the seemingly arbitrary choice of spellings is a sensitive subject for many followers of Islam. Whereas for most English speakers, the two words are synonymous in meaning, the Arabic roots of the two words are very different. A Muslim in Arabic means "one who gives himself to God," and is by definition, someone who adheres to Islam. By contrast, a Moslem in Arabic means "one who is evil and unjust" when the word is pronounced, as it is in English, Mozlem with a z...Journalists switched to Muslim from Moslem in recent years under pressure from Islamic groups.

(See historynewsnetwork.org/article/524; Emphasis in original). 

This post will center on two matters: (1) the totally false idea from Vatican II (and ubiquitous on social media) that Moslems worship "the same God" as Christianity; (2) the danger of Sharia law. Throughout this post, the false book of Islam will be spelled "Koran" or "Qur'an" depending on the spelling used by my source at that juncture. I wish to credit my numerous sources I read regarding Islam (in addition to the ones specifically cited), both print and online. I take no credit except for the compilation of the information into a terse and readable post.---Introibo

Asking the Right Questions

Some apologists for the Vatican II sect teaching on Islam have asserted (without citation to be read in context) that some approved theologians and Church historians pre-Vatican II claimed Moslems worship the True God in a false manner. I cannot attest to the veracity of this but what might have been meant (if it was really written) is that Moslems may intend to worship the True God. The question should not be "Do the Moslems worship the True God," rather, it should be asked, "Does Islam profess the True God?" It will be made obvious it does not. Since they worship what they profess, Islam does not objectively worship the True God. 

Islam has always been placed in the same category as the Jews--"infidels"--aka non-baptized monotheists. Mohammed combined the beliefs of pagans (hence the Koran speaks of a "Pegasus"), Jews (they do not eat the flesh of "unclean" animals like pigs), and Catholics (veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary). For both Moslems and Traditionalist Catholics, God is not just an additional fact about reality; rather, God is the foundation underpinning the whole of reality. There is nothing commendable about merely believing that God exists: "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that – and shudder." (St. James 2:19). The question we need to answer is not "Is there a God?" but "Who is God?" What is God’s character, nature and identity? What are his attributes? The answer to these questions will make it clear that Moslems do not profess the True God of Catholicism.

A Morally Defective "God" That Produces Evil Followers

It is my contention that Allah is morally defective, is lacking in omniscience, and gives commands that are contrary to basic ethical principles. All this is easily explained because the Koran is a book written by Mohammed under the guidance of a demon he thought to be the angel Gabriel. Islam relies on a multitude of revelations. But only one, the Koran, (also spelled Qur'an) is considered to be the eternally existent word of Allah, channeled through his chosen prophet six centuries after the crucifixion of Christ. It is considered to be uncreated and unalterableinerrant, having ethics beyond question, and eloquent above anything the world has ever experienced.

The evidence proves this wrong. The Koran comprises 114 suras (chapters), some revealed in Mecca, others in Medina. Meccan suras feature Mohammad as God’s final prophet—a prophet greater than all the prophets who came before him. Far from being divine, the Koran is clearly written by a human and has its origin from the Father of Lies. If Allah is God, he would be omniscient. If the Koran was dictated by angel Gabriel from Allah himself, the Koran must be inerrant. Using the Koran (The Holy Qur'an Arabic Text with English Translation [2013]) it will be shown that Allah cannot be omniscient and therefore is not "God." 

Allah Doesn't Understand the Theology He Condemns

  • Allah thinks since Christ was begotten, it means there was sexual reproduction. In Koran 6:101, the book asks rhetorically, "How can He [Allah] have a Son when He has no consort?" 
  • Allah thinks Christianity teaches that the Blessed Virgin Mary is part of the Most Holy Trinity. "And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden?" (Koran 5:116) 
  • Allah tells an historical falsehood; Christ was not crucified by the Jews. "And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain." (Koran 4:157-158). 

Far worse than the above is the immorality that is openly commanded by Allah. That will be examined next.

God is Necessarily Morally Perfect

 God is the greatest conceivable Being. (I'm not using St. Anselm's ontological argument. It is what both the Church and Islam teach). If a being is in some way morally imperfect, then it is not a perfect being and therefore not the greatest conceivable being (i.e., not God).  Moral perfection entails being all-loving; wanting what is best for others. This, to me, is axiomatic. Every good parent knows this fact. A rebellious teenage son or daughter will break a parent's heart precisely because they love him or her despite his or her defiant and wicked behavior. If a parent didn't love their child, it wouldn't hurt so bad. The fact is that parents do love their children, despite their waywardness.

Allah has a different character than the True God. It is significant that of the "99 beautiful names for Allah," which Moslems memorize and use for worship, not one is "love" or "loving." The Koran stresses that Allah loves only those who do good, and that he does not love those who do evil. Here are the suras and verses:

"Allah loves not transgressors" (2:190)

"He loves not creatures ungrateful or wicked" (2:276)

"Say: 'Obey Allah and His Apostle;' but if they turn back Allah loveth not those who reject Faith." (3:32)

"Allah loves not those who do wrong" (3:57, 140)

"Allah loveth not the arrogant the vainglorious" (4:36)

Compare to Jesus Christ:

"Christ died for the ungodly... God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us...If when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life? (Romans 5:6,8,10). Christ loves all humans, hates all sin, and Wills their salvation contingent upon them coming freely into the Church and dying in the state of grace. No one is lost except through their own fault.

Allah hates sinners which is why he:

Commands the murder of non-Moslems: "Koran 2:191: "And kill them (non-Moslems) wherever you find them … kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers (non-Moslems)."

Koran 9:5: "Then kill the disbelievers (non-Moslems) wherever you find them, capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush …"

Allows Moslems to commit adultery with slave girls: Koran 4:24, "And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess."

Commands Moslems to steal from Non-Moslems and enjoy doing it: “Enjoy what ye took, for it is lawful and good” (Koran 8:69).

Allows Moslems to lie, for Allah is himself a deceiver: The Koran overtly teaches that Allah is the master of deception. As Koran 3:54 and 8:30 put it, “Allah (is the) best (of) the deceivers” (literal translation)

Commands Moslems to fight, kill, or violently subjugate non-Moslems simply for being non-Moslems: "O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness." (Koran 9:123)

"Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah’s way, so they slay and are slain." (Koran 9:111)

"Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection." (Koran 9:29)

A False and Morally Bankrupt Prophet

Mohammed behaved wickedly, just as the false moon god he served taught. There is an excellent circular I read compiled by Mr. Stanley Robertson. Although not a Traditionalist, Mr. Robertson has done an excellent job of exposing Islam as a false and wicked sect. Below, I set forth some of his pertinent points. The author's citations are retained as he wrote them.

Mohammed:

  • Said Allah hates those who don't accept Islam. (Qur'an 30:4, 3:32, 22:38)
  • Permitted stealing from unbelievers. (Bukhari 44:668, Ibn Ishaq 764)
  • Permitted lying. (Sahih Muslim 6303, Bukhari 49:857)
  • Murdered those who insulted him. (Bukhari 56:369, 4:241)
  • "If then anyone transgresses the prohibition against you, Transgress ye likewise against him" (Qur'an 2:194)
  • Jihad [War] in the way of Allah elevates one's position in Paradise by a hundred fold. (Muslim 4645)
  • Married 13 wives and kept sex slaves. (Bukhari 5:268, Qur'an 33:50)
  • Slept with a 9-year-old child. (Sahih Muslim 3309, Bukhari 58:236)
  • Ordered the murder of women. (Ibn Ishaq 819, 995)
  • "O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness." (Qur'an 9:123)
  • Encouraged his men to rape enslaved women. (Abu Dawood 2150, Qur'an 4:24)
  • Demanded captured slaves and a fifth of all other loot taken in war. (Qur'an 8:41)
  • Was never tortured, but tortured others. (Muslim 4131, Ibn Ishaq 436, 595, 734, 764)
  • "And fight them until there is no more persecution and religion is only for Allah" (Qur'an 8:39)
  • Blessed the brutal murder of a half-blind man (al-Tabari 1440)
  • What are the Greatest Commandments? "Belief in Allah and Jihad [War] in His cause" (Muslim 1:149)
  • Died fat and wealthy from what was taken from others in war or demanded from others in tribute
  • Advocated crucifying others. (Qur'an 5:33, Muslim 16:4131)
  • According to his followers: Had others give their lives for him. (Sahih Muslim 4413)

The True Triune God worshipped by the One True Church of Jesus Christ is not the object of worship professed by Islam. Therefore they do not worship the same God. Allah has been shown to be (a) non-Trinitarian, an essential attribute God revealed; (b) culpably ignorant of theology he opposes; (c) morally defective and commands evil of his so-called prophet and followers. 

Speaking of Evil: Sharia Law

Moslems derive the term sharia from the Qur'an, where Allah declares, “Then We put thee on the (right) way of religion: so follow thou that (way), and follow not the desires of those who know not” (45:18, Ali). The Arabic for “way” here is sharia, which in this context refers to the commands Allah delivered to Mohammad. Since the Qur’an (4:65) also orders Moslems to obey Mohammad’s decisions, the body of laws that came to be called “sharia” includes the commands of both Allah and Mohammad

The Evil of Sharia Law

Sharia Law involves the following:

Jihad: Jihad is holy war against the infidels of the world. All Muslims are obliged to kill the infidel. An infidel (or kafir) is a non-Moslem. Many Moslems think that killing an infidel guarantees going straight to paradise.

Apostasy: All apostates are to be killed. An apostate is any person who renounces Islam and changes his religion. Christians are not allowed to convert Moslems to Christianity. Conversion is perceived as blasphemy and carries the death penalty. Distributing Christian literature can result in a five-year prison sentence under Sharia Law.

Criticism of Islam: The death penalty applies to Moslems who criticize Mohammad, the Qur’an or Sharia Law. Severe penalties also apply to Christians who speak out against Islam.

Freedom of Worship: Although Islam pays lip service to “people of the book” (other "Abrahamic religions"), the reality is that most all Islamic countries are persecuting Christians, targeting their places of worship, and killing and imprisoning believers. Persecution is intense in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, Maldives, and other countries with a strong Islamic influence.

Female victims of rape: Sharia Law protects rapists. A woman making an accusation of rape has to provide four male witnesses. If she is unable to do so, she will be charged with zina, for which the prescribed punishment is flogging or stoning. Thousands of women are imprisoned as a result of unsuccessful charges of rape. Some are even stoned to death. On October 27, 2008, Aisha, a 13-year-old girl in Kisayu, Somalia, was stoned to death for adultery; later, her aunt told the British Broadcasting Corporation that Aisha had been raped by three armed men. Rapists are seldom brought to trial, let alone punished.

Miscellaneous crimes: Fornication and adultery: Fornicators are to be whipped, and adulterers are to be stoned to death. Theft: Any person found stealing is to have a hand cut off. Battery and assault: An injured plaintiff can extract legal revenge; lex talionis (“an eye for an eye”) is in effect.

The strongest evidence that Sharia makes Islam more oppressive than other religions is the 1990 Cairo Declaration of Human Rights (CDHRI). 45 Islamic nations have signed the Cairo Declaration that proclaims a number of human rights only to renege on them if they contradict Islamic Sharia. It is a devious way to give the appearance of caring about human rights when in reality it guts the historic 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by declaring Sharia the only source for Muslim 'human rights'. It was revised in 2020 to not specifically invoke sharia law, but it does not renounce it. A good PR job and nothing more. 

Doesn't The United States Constitution protect us from Sharia?

For now it does. In November 2011 the MacDonald-Laurier Institute poll of Canadian Moslems found that 75 percent of respondents want Sharia Law. In December 2012 the Sydney Morning Herald reported that the imam at Australia’s largest mosque had issued a fatwa (legal ruling) against Christmas. In July 2011 Moslems called upon England to establish three independent states within the U.K. There are also Moslem groups in the United States calling for the implementation of Sharia Law in America. For a terrifying expose on Sharia Law and the threat it poses to America, see:

Conclusion

As America and other Western (formerly Catholic) countries become "Islamified" the infidels who worship a false moon god will have greater representation and influence to change laws, and perhaps even amend the Constitution itself. Think it farfetched? In the wake of 9-11 (just 24 years ago) If I had said there would probably be a Moslem mayor in the near future, I would have been laughed to scorn. Now, it is Zohran Mamdani who is laughing as Christian dupes (like AOC) join Islam in seeking his election as mayor of New York City. 

Consider how Vatican II has paved the way for Mohammedans:

"Pope" "Saint" John Paul II kissed the Koran and prayed, "May Saint John the Baptist protect Islam." Maybe he should be given the title "John Paul the Great Mohammedan."

"Pope" Benedict XVI  called for Christians "to open their arms and hearts" to Moslem immigrants and "to dialogue" with them on religious issues. Ratzinger told participants that the Catholic (sic) Church is "increasingly aware" that "inter-religious dialogue is a part of its commitment to the service of humanity in the modern world."

"Pope" Francis prayed towards Mecca and said, "Islam is a religion of peace, one which is compatible with respect for human rights and peaceful coexistence."

Do not be fooled. Any Traditionalist who behaves immorally does so in spite of Church teaching. Any Moslem who behaves immorally does so because of the teachings of Islam. As the population of Moslems nears the one million mark in NYC, and continues to swell unabated in once-Catholic Europe, remember well the words of Pope St. Pius V, "[Moslems] are the enemy of the Catholic Faith." (See Salvatoris Domini, March 5, 1571).

Let us pray from The Litany of St. Louis IX, King of France (for private use only):

St. Louis, victor over the Saracens, pray for us!

  1. Islam comes from hell, like the V2 sect itself. It is the devil who inspires the false popes and modernist clergy who promote Islam. In addition to blaspheming God, Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin, the followers of the false prophet are causing disorder throughout the West because of the Israel-Hamas-Iran conflict. But this is divine punishment for our sins, for the apostasy of Rome and the entire West. May God have mercy on us !

    3. There are ~750,000 Muslims in NYC and about twice that number in the metro area. Mamdani was elected by a perverse voting system called rank-choice voting. We also have a very large percentage of New Yorkers who were foreign born, who don't assimilate, because there is no reason for them to, plus he "won" a large number of under-30, white progressives and foreign born voters. I can tell you, as a lifelong New Yorker, that the city has radically changed since the start of covid. I was in downtown Jamaica, Queens, yesterday afternoon, for the first time in ten years, and it is even worse than what I remembered. Imagine being the only white man, wearing a suit and time, on a hot summer day, surrounded by the third world. It's extremely unnerving to see yourself as a hated minority in a sea of black and brown. Even my neighborhood, a rather infamous one in NYC for being Italian, has undergone such a transformation, that I'm afraid of what it's going to be like in another few years. Try London and Paris on steroids.

      I agree with Cyrus. I, too, was born, raised, and work in NYC. Cyrus is accurate in his assessment. I have one thing to add as to why this barbarian can win: the Marxist promise of getting "things for free." Many Millennials and most of Gen Z are afraid of work. The don't want to work hard, they want to hardly work.

      I can't tell you how different associates are now than from only 15 years ago. Many get fired. They come in late, want to go home early, and do the least possible in-between. This is across the board---including white people of European descent. They often complain about the government not doing enough and not subsidizing enough so their bills will (so they think) go down and they can work less.

      I don't get how they fail to understand that nothing "comes for free." Someone has to pay. That someone is me, and those like me, who work hard to get ahead only to be taxed to death for others to live better. From the year 2000 to 2013 (before DeBlasio took office; or DeBozo as many of us called him) my taxes increased approximately 18% over those 13 years. When Bill DeBozo came in, at the end of his first term, my taxes DOUBLED. Why? Free health care to illegal immigrants, free this, free that, etc. It wasn't "free" for those of us who work hard.

      Therefore, many Gen Zers will vote for Mamdani, so they can be enslaved by the promise of "free" services and "life-work balance."

    8. Certainly people should work hard and support themselves and/or their families. But we also have to be realistic about “The American Dream” we have all been sold. The greatest years where America had a strong middle class was Post WW2 and into the 1970s. But that time is long gone and will not be coming back anytime soon. “You will own nothing, and be happy”. Millenials and the younger generation, despite their many faults, understand they have been sold a bill of goods. They have been loaded with college debt, a huge scam by the way, they are competing with foreign nationals for jobs (illegals and legals) NO MORE IMMIGRATION, you have monopolistic corporations in this country and some of the greediest corporations imaginable who put profit over people, wage increases have barely kept up with inflation over the last few decades, outsourcing jobs, importing cheap labor, dead end meaningless corporate jobs where people spend most of their time in a cubicle farm surrounded by toxic people and trained hamsters and corporate shills. The middle class is shrinking and it is by design. People in the mid 80s made 25-30k a year but a house cost 80k. Now people make 50-60k a year on average, and homes in decent areas that are 1300 square feet cost 450k, plus all of the other expenses. Capitalism is a very evil system, and so is socialism. But people are given a false choice between the two. Capitalism is about speculative markets and money generating more money, monopolies, outsourcing, pleasing greedy shareholders, selling filth and poison to make profits, exploiting people, allowing billionaires to hide their money in tax free havens overseas. And what do these billionaires produce? Facebook, Amazon, it’s all filth and of the devil. This is not 1972 anymore. Yes many people can make it but let’s also acknowledge the systematic destruction of the middle class. I support the 3rd position or distributism. Capitalism is wicked, but I support private enterprise that doesn’t conflict with the common good, and their should also be social programs in place as well for the greater good of society. This works better in homogenous societies that have strong cultural bonds. Not in America which is controlled by Jewish interests and has been taken over some of the worst forms of human depravity.

    9. It is also true that by the time of 9/11, many Muslim countries had been bombarded by the US. This isn't to justify their rejoicing, just to add further perspective to the discussion.

      Hatred of the kufar is part of Islam and is greatly increased by this wars.

      Ironically their rejoicing participated in the invasion of Afghanistan that lasted 20 years until the deep state decided it wasn't worth it and left like decapitated chickens.

    13. There is no excuse but there is an explanation.

      Zoomers often come from broken families or parents who misraised them.They are emotionally broken and depression lowers the degrees of energy they have. My two uncle's got divorced, each under a different set of circumstances. Many of my friends also have problems like this. My brother, who is sick and bed-bound, is happier than all of these children who can move around but have bad families.

      They were socially engineered with stupid movies (like Shrek), dumber social media, immoral videogames (Grand Text Auto) and ridiculous religions (the NO) to behave like this.

      Also, many of them know that they will not get as many privileges as other generations did in the past. In the 50's in America you could work yourself out of poverty: I am not so sure most can do it now even if they work hard.

I thought I was being nice when I addressed my comment because I was implying that we all tend to use the word Muslim because we are used to it. You act like it's not a big deal say a person in the Saracen religion is one who gives himself to God. In fact, you sound like Lumen Gentium #16. Congratulations.

  4. Forgive me, but I don't think Zohran Mamdani will impose shari'a law. He is a Muslim socialist, and socialism is not Muslim. This means he is as likely to impose shari'a law as much as a "Catholic" socialist would be to impose  a Catholic confessional state. Mamdani has to choose between Islam and socialism: he cannot serve two masters.

    Another issue is that even if he wanted to impose shari'a he would have serious trouble imposing it. He would have to retire the Macy's Thanksgiving parade, homosexual "rights", abortion, pornography, pigs, Broadway, and most importantly, banks, usury and interest. No way that will happen in New York, at least not yet. If he wants to impose shari'a, he will have to wait until Muslims are the majority of new Yorkers, which is likely to happen only in a few generations.

    Another issue would be the shape of Islam today. While they have lots of children, they also have many apostates and their very own type of modernists.

    Many of the Muslims who live in the west are likely to leave Islam or at least adopt a lite version of it. These Muslims do everything in their power to please western values. This isn't just a case of western migrants; in Saudi Arabia the Prince is slowly but surely deleting some fatwas from his laws. 

    Some of the Muslims who live in the west are likely to leave Islam or at least adopt a modernist version of it.

    In order to impose shari'a on its fullness, Muslims should first defeat the enemies of Islam within themselves, something that is going to take time and is likely not to happen with Mamdani.

      I agree with you that if (God forbid) Mamdani is elected he will NOT simply sign an Executive Order on January 1, 2026 and introduce Sharia law. I agree with the analysis of Cyrus below. By introducing Marxist principles, things will get very bad. The Moslems here in NYC are, to a large degree, radicalized. In order to bring stability, Moslem majority neighborhoods will de facto have Sharia Law. Now we will have terrorist cells--larger then ever--ready to bring down the U.S. even more. God help us!

  5. He doesn't need for the Muslim population to be a majority, in order to enact laws that favor them. The Jewish population doesn't have a majority either, yet they wield an enormous amount of power not just in NYC but across the country. Look at the politicians and where their money comes from, let alone their influence on Hollywood and American culture.

    As someone who grew up in NYC and lives here now (see my earlier comment), the areas around where I live are increasingly Muslim and south Asian. Not an American friendly group of people. The Borough of Brooklyn has over 100 mosques. I couldn't find how many there are in the Borough of Queens, which is where I live. There were several mosques that I drove by yesterday on my way home from church, taking me through some of the most radically changed neighborhoods. This is nnot a positive change at all.

    Mamdani may not be able to enact sharia laws now, but what happens in the next five, ten year? Look at what's happening in London, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam. There are tons of videos on X recording the Islamic takeover in Western Europe. RadioGenoa is the best, by far. They're thinking long term, while we in the U.S. and Western Europe are refusing to see this blatant fact. Look at the history of the spread of Islam and how they conquered formerly Christian countries.

  6. It’s important to understand that America’s immigration policy drastically changed after The Hart Cellar Act of 1965 which opened the doors to the entire third world. Before this, most immigrants came from Europe, and although there were ethnic cultural differences and some conflict among these fellow Europeans they were able to assimilate within a generation because of a common European racial identity. Now, assimilation is impossible because we have people coming here from 150 different countries, who are hostile to white western sensibilities and norms, and who have fed off the “white guilt” weapon for their own benefit. Part of the problem is that America and Israel bomb the Middle East and then America and Europe invite The Middle East into their once pristine societies and now you have No Go Zones made up of mostly Muslim men of military age. Notice I left Israel out of the invite part. Israel has NGOs which exist to make sure the third world invades Europe and America, while Americans fight wars for Israel’s expansion and their Jewish ethnostate. This all happens as whites are told we can’t have our own identity or homelands, we must be atomized consumers with no cultural roots or collective history, while allowing extremely ethnocentric and primitive third worlders in the lands our forefathers created to t well us they are “victims” and we are “oppressors”. White people are not as ethnocentric as say Muslims and Jews, and are more trusting and inviting, and these general characteristics are exploited by the same people who control the media, foreign policy, the banks, the pornography industry, psychology and medicine etc….Need I say more. The enemy knows that strong white bonds and White Christian identity is a threat to their subversive activities in white homelands. It’s easier to divide, distract, cause chaos, and then no one notices what these subversives are up to, and that’s how they operate. I will perhaps discuss this more in other comments…

  7. The latest stats I could find are from 2022-2023, show the percentage of New York City's population that is foreign born is between 36-36.5%. That's roughly million + out of a population of 8.5million. If Mandani is elected Mayor, it will speed up the pace of city's decline, with white flight, middle class fleeing, businesses leaving, further accelerating the fall. Some of us, like me, can't afford to leave, since we don't have the financial resources to do so.

  8. I used to lampoon those who blamed everything on the Jews. Up until last week, at least, when I read the opening 50 odd pages of 'The Plot against the Catholic Church" by "Maurice Pinay".

    It's all the work of the perfidious Jews. All of it: Freemasonry, Socialism / Marxism / Bolshevism / Islamism; in short, everything that undermines the Church and the civilisation that has been built by Her has been fought & plotted against (in conspiratorial manner and by express design) by the Synagogue of Satan.

      Be careful with the "Jews do it all" conspiracy. A man I know was a Traditionalist. He apostatized for about 10 years and became an atheist! The reason? He was convinced Jesus Christ was an ordinary person who was given Legendary status by the Jews to create a new religion--Christianity. As their "puppet religion," the Jews were able to weaken the Roman Empire when they adopted it in 313AD as the State religion. The "turn the other cheek" morality made them soft and led to the Fall of the Roman Empire---courtesy of the Jews who were behind it all using the fake religion of Christianity.

      By the grace of God, he got out of "conspiracy-Jew" mode and is once more a Traditionalist Catholic.

    4. That's obviously nonsense and, if I may be so bold, not wholly surprising given the scruples some in the Sede camp appear to suffer. A few weeks ago you had a guest poster (Lee or JG) who related the beautiful story of Our Lady of the Willow Tree - of which I'd never heard of - and some mad Sede remarked that he dismissed the apparition (fully approved) because the writer of the source material quoted attended the NO. Cutting his nose to spite his face sort of stuff.

      You must have read the 'Maurice Pinay' book referenced above and must know that that is the pseudonym used by, what is thought to be, a number of high ranking prelates and their advisors in 1961 when they were made aware of the coming conspiratorial assault planned for the VII Council. Ottaviano (spelling?) or one of his priests are regarded as being involved.

      If you have not read it, again I imagine you have, you absolutely must. It is an 'academic' work, utilising an excruciating library of contemporaneous source material, all referenced, regarding Freemasonry, Bolshevism and their Zionist masters.

  9. Within 100 years after Mohammed’s death, Islam had conquered Syria, Palestine, and North Africa. They conquered parts of Europe, including Southern Spain, parts of France, and nearly took Rome but were stopped by Charles Martel at the Battle of Poitiers in 732AD. This was exactly 100 years after Mohammed died in 632AD. Within two more centuries, they turned east and conquered Persia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts of India. They conquered two thirds of Christianity by the time the first crusade was called in 1095 by Pope Urban II. They would go on to take Constantinople in 1453AD, they were miraculously stopped at the Battle of Lepanto by The Holy League in 1571AD and they were stopped at the Gates of Vienna on September 11, 1683AD (an interesting date nonetheless!). They began to decline from that time on as the European nations made greater progress scientifically and militarily; however, as a threat they still remained a “sleeping giant.” Once Vatican II came about, the V2 “popes” took ecumenism and ran with it as far as they could. Lumen Gentium (one of Montini’s crowning achievements) went so far to say that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. All of the V2 “popes” endorsed ecumenism, enunciating it time after time after time and even praying in mosques. Never before had something like this been seen in church history. Popes Clement V, Callixtus III, Pius II, Leo X, Eugene IV, and Benedict XIV condemned this religion in the strongest of terms. The last 60 years has seen a dramatic shift that is unparalleled in church history.

    If these things were not bad enough, the population of Islam continues to boom all around the world. Their fertility rates are through the roof, while Western Christendom is slowly annihilating itself out of existence with abortion, contraception, and homosexuality. The European nations have very low birth rates, as do nations like Canada and the United States. They are well below the replacement rate of 2.1% (not including the immigrants that are taking over all of these nations). In the year 2,000, there were already Muslims increasing in numbers in the West. 25 years later and these numbers are now staggering in 2025. 25 more years in 2050 will be well beyond the “danger zone”. Not long from now, the most common greeting in Rome may soon be “Assalamu Alaikum”. “Pax Vobiscum” may soon be a thing of the past. The Traditional Catholic Church is hanging on by a thread. Assuming we have a true pope elected again one day and we do not go into The General Judgment, we await in true hope with great anticipation the words, “Habemus Papam.”

  10. Introibo, did you see one of the guys who inspired your “Adolph Hitler and so called “traditionalists” article publicly apostatized on Twitter a few weekends ago? It was trending with around 350,000 views. Looking at the comments, it looks like there are way more people in the Novus Ordo who are generally aware of sedevacantism but choose to remain culpable than I previously thought. Getting back to this article, it is quite important as I see lots of alleged patriots and Catholics shilling for this NYC guy’s version of Marxist Islam. Their “logic” is since Israel/zionism bad, and they are against Israel/zionism, we should be buddies with them. They either sympathize with or outright support Iran, Assad, Hamas, Hezbollah, Kadyrov, etc. and if you call them out they go into a frenzy claiming you are just “a Jewish agent”. Hopefully this is a wake up call for them, it’s like having the Ayatollah in control on NYC.

Terrorists groups routinely get benefits from the US government whenever it is convenient to the deep state.

      Growing up I was told that Al Qeda and the Taliban were incarnate demons, and that the Shi'ites were less violent than the Sunnis. Now All Qaeda dominates Siria but we are told the leader has "reformed himself" and is no longer a terrorist, and the Taliban are back in power and even have a Twitter account.

      In 2015 one Malala Yousafzi was some sort of anti-terrorist Greta Thunberg because she opposed the Taliban, and the whole world shed tears when the blasphemers of Charlie Hebdo died. That same year, everyone suddenly wanted us to accept "refugees" with open arms! It's a circus.

  12. Saint John Bosco wrote a summary of Islam, in the style of him or another person explaining the false religion to a young person. I think the source is accurate. Anyway in the summary he says, and I’m paraphrasing and just listing some of the direct points he made, Mohammed - born to gentile father and Jewish mother in 570 in Mecca. He had epilepsy and used this to start his new false religion claiming his talks were ecstasies. Mohammed was no prophet, he was certainly not sent by God. He was a fraud and impostor. He said he restored the moon after a piece fell on his sleeve. This is where symbol of moon in Islam comes from, this ridiculous claim from this wicked charlatan Mohammed. Eventually took refuge in Medina. Islam is a mixture of Paganism, Judaism, and Christianity. He mixed the religions to induce people to follow him that were of these religions and the Quran was written by a Jew and an apostate monk since Mohammed was illiterate. This religion was propagated by military force. The religion was filled with licentiousness, which enlisted troops. This false religion filled with blasphemies and errors. It allows revenge, talks about obscenities, and horrible blasphemies.

      I think anyone with tattoos defiles himself/herself. Women really do themselves a disservice. An otherwise attractive woman makes herself much less attractive. Studies have shown tattoos are indicative of a low socio-economic status, and have a high correlation to drug/alcohol abuse (which in turn correlates to promiscuity).

      When I see a woman with tattoos, I am put off. I have never dated (nor would I have dated) a woman with tattoos (or piercings).

      In what manner is St. Basil speaking? That men should not grow their hair and act like women? Or is he speaking in general?

      Could it be that his opinion on long hair is like his opinion on tattoos? Say a tattoo has an image of Mary on the arm? Is that pagan or bad?

    8. Re: Tattoos, Piercings, and Long Hair
      The Bible does say: ""You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord." (Leviticus 19:28). Does the prohibition still apply? I have found nothing directly on point from any papal/Congregation decree, nor any approved theologian.

      I would argue it does, and tattoos (like piercings) are contrary to the Fifth Commandment which commands us to take reasonable good care of our bodies.

      According to the Mayo Clinic, tattoos poses health risks.
      See https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/in-depth/tattoos-and-piercings/art-20045067

      It also can make it harder to detect skin cancer. Is the risk worth it to have something unnatural on your body? I answer in the negative. (This is just my opinion as a layman. I submit all to the judgement of Holy Mother Church).

      As to long hair for men and short hair for women, the first question to be asked is "what, exactly, constitutes long hair"? Jesus is said to have had long hair, but He really didn't. Hair to the shoulders was considered short for the Jews at that time. Women wore there hair to the bottom of their buttocks. That was considered long.

      That's how we should understand 1 Corinthians 11: 14-15. However, must we still do the same? Obviously not, as the Church never preached against such as sinful.

      I find no on point teaching from the theologians or papal/Congregation decree.

      In my layman's opinion, women should have longer hair than men to conform to the society of today, but it is not sinful. Most men (myself included) find women with long hair more attractive. My wife's hair is very long, like in the time of Christ.

      They indicate low impulse control, they are a desecration to the body that God gave you, where your soul exists and where The Holy Ghost comes to dwell when we are in a state of grace, it is disordered for people to get them, especially women, and that’s about it along with some other things already mentioned above.

      Delete
    20. I agree with all the comments to my questions but there is still a grey area which doesn't officially condemn tattoos.

      In fact a local council called the Council of Norththumberland states:

      "When an individual undergoes the ordeal of tattooing for the sake of God, he is greatly praised. But one who submits himself to be tattooed for superstitious reason in the manner of the heathens will derive no benefit thereof.”

      There is also a tradition in the the East where crosses were tattooed on the wrist of people to distinguish them from the Moslems. It was also a tradition of Europeans to have the Jerusalem cross tattooed on them when making a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

      It seems to be an opinion of Vatican II sect exorcists who say religious tattooes are evil based on their experience in exorcisms. It also seems to be an opinion that Trads share the same sentiment.

      On the other hand, we have St. Basil condemning them and Pope Adrian I who supposedly put a ban on them for the purpose of imitating heathens.

      From the way it sounds, it would be my opinion that they should be avoided and if something bad is printed on the body it should be removed. If something "good" or harmless is on the body then depending on the circumstances one can either keep it covered for the sake on avoiding scandal but it isn't necessarily condemned either way. Does everybody agree?

      It's a good compromise. I still believe that one should not get tattoos, but for one who already has them and converts, what you stated makes sense. The alleged decree of Pope Adrian, according to all I read--is considered to be a possible forgery, so it cannot be used as a Magisterial decree if it is not certain to be from the pope.

    22. Is agreement what you are looking for? Tattoos are not good. Don't look for ways to make them ok in any way. Agreement is....a novus ordo way of life. Opinion-ism is also false.

      Delete
    23. Anon 7:31 Opinionism as to the sedevacantist position in our current time is false but on matters relating to other things opinions are permitted to be held. Agreement isn't necessarily a Novus Ordo Way of life--- hence your opinion. Is your opinion a dogma because you say so?

      I agree with Introibo. You offer a good compromise and a reasonable stance on tattoos.
      I believe most people get tattoos because of vanity as it's fashionable nowadays. I saw a young mother today with a photo camera tattooed somewhere on her back. plus a tattoo on her lower leg. She probably thinks it makes her look "nice".
      Sadly, tattoos have become so commonplace that they hardly raise an eyebrow anymore.
      I find them utterly disgusting when they cover large parts of the body and barely tolerable when they're discreet and inoffensive.
      I believe the so called "religious" tattoos such as intricate and large images of saints to be very irreverent. A small cross on one's wrist is tolerable to me but not something I would advise anyone to get. Why not wear a holy medal around your neck like the Miraculous Medal or St. Benedict's?
      All in all, I agree with what you wrote.

      God Bless You,

    25. Thank you Joanna. I'm not condoning them. I'm just trying to be as careful as possible with how we condemn them. There may be exceptions I believe. As far as religious tattoos, I think they're a stupid idea but then again would it be wrong to wear the same image on a T-Shirt? I know it's different because one is permanent but I used to wear religious T-shirts in high school many years ago and it provoked questions from my Protestant friends. Had I not worn them nothing would have been brought up. I see a religious tattoo in a very similar manner except that the only difference is that they spark a different conversation because worldly people typically get tattooed and it doesn't seem to be an appropriate way to display religious art. I agree that Medals which are sacramentals are the better way to go because they have an extra power to them (when blessed) than a mere image.

      I'm just trying to make people think before they make quick judgements. The older I get the more I realize that there are always distinctions to be made depending on the subject matter.

    Do you know much about the Sikh "religion"Have you ever worked with one.Do they have much in common with the Hindus.Thanks

    1. @anon9:17
      Yes, I have worked with a Sikh many years ago. Founded in the 16th century, Sikhism arose as an attempt to harmonize Islam and Hinduism. They believe in an impersonal monotheistic God (more Deism than pantheism in that aspect) yet teach reincarnation and mystical oneness with God to escape endless rebirths (more pantheistic than Deistic).

      So they do have much in common with Hindus. They have their own "holy" book, The Adi Granth. Originally pacifists, they became warriors when attacked mercilessly by Mohammedans. However, if not attacked or unduly provoked, they are generally peaceful. They teach not jihad but Dharam Yudh which is a just war of self-defense used as a last resort.

    1. Jane,
      I have researched it, but I have not read it from cover to cover. What struck me as most heretical is their false concept of God. Sikhism holds that God is one. There is no Trinity. He is Creator, sovereign, all-powerful, all-knowing, eternal. They believe God both transcends and indwells the universe. God is the abstract principle of truth and has never known an incarnation. Neither can He be defined. However, God is personal in that He can be loved and honored (?)

      It is a whacky kind of pantheism with Deistic overtures. How does one "love" an abstract principle? Another huge error is reincarnation which was the subject of last week's post.

    I suppose recently there has been a lot of talk about whether sedevacantists clergy have authority and two of them, a CMRI priest and a priest from Bp. Sanborn's group are debating it out on X. I honestly like the layman's point of view (in the above link) better than the priest's answers.

  30. Introibo,

    Thank you for another great article. My wife and I got value from it. An old memory regarding Islam is of a friend telling me they worship the moon god. I can’t blame my education for certain, but I think I was through enough “catholic” education at that point in my life that this shouldn’t have been a revelation to me. Also, that allah is the “great deceiver”. How much more there is to it that I have learned since then, especially since becoming Catholic.

    Are the laws and commands of Islam regarding non-moslems similar to no-ahide and tallmudic laws?

    “Any Traditionalist who behaves immorally does so in spite of Church teaching. Any Moslem who behaves immorally does so because of the teachings of Islam.” I’ll have to remember these lines.

    Great comments, everyone. Prayers said for all requests made herein.

      Yes I agree no one needs Fair weather friends. I warned them all about vaxx too so...now they are seeing the dead pile up. Very sad. I didn't realize lifelong friends were fair weather until 2020 scam.

      I tried reading Job this morning. I get depressed trying to read the Bible then having to look up what the Church teaches on everything. And all has to be done online which is too hard to accomplish most days with so many active fires going and so many dilemmas to figure out. Yes, I hope to meet with Fr L if my brother stays alive. I have a few priests who will answer questions now and then . One thing that reminded me in Job was that my former NO conservative "friends" account for all my misfortunes because I left the true Church and don't have sacraments! Obviously they think the NO is true and I am the Protestant who has created my own conspiracy religion. Yet they believe the Protestant prosperity gospel.
      I understand God is the author of all and I hope to always praise Him no matter what, like Job! St Job, pray for us! Thanks Introibo! God bless!

      It's actually hard for me to imagine a priest being so eager to do so much for someone he doesn't even know, just to ensure that person finds the true Catholic Faith and is well taken care of spiritually.
