Pope francis landed in cairo 54 mins ago |
His trip comes just weeks after 45 people killed in Egyptian church bombings But bold pontiff has turned down use of armoured car despite security risks His spokesman said terror attacks are part of the world of 'the new normal' Pope Francis has asked his Christian followers to pray for him as he heads to Egypt as a 'pilgrim of peace' tomorrow. The head of the Catholic church made the plea on Twitter as a Vatican spokesman confirmed the pontiff would not be using an armoured car as his predecessors did for foreign trips. His move is especially bold given it comes just weeks after two Palm Sunday suicide bombings on Egyptian churches that killed at least 45 people. Pope Francis is facing a religious and diplomatic balancing act as he heads to the Middle East, where he is hoping to comfort the Christian community after a spate of Islamic attacks while seeking to improve relations with Muslim leaders. Security has been tightened, with shops ordered closed and police conducting door-to-door checks in the upscale Cairo neighborhood where Francis will stay Friday night. His only public Mass is being held at a military-run stadium. Vatican spokesman Greg Burke said Francis wasn't overly concerned and wouldn't be riding in a protected car. Francis insisted on going ahead with the trip even after the bombings in Tanta and Alexandria as well as the subsequent attack at the famed St. Catherine's monastery in Sinai. 'We're in the world of "new normal",' Burke said. 'But we go forward with serenity.' The highlight of the two-day trip will be Francis' visit Friday to Al-Azhar, the revered 1,000-year-old seat of learning in Sunni Islam. There, he will meet privately with grand imam Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, and participate in an international peace conference.Francis has insisted that Christian-Muslim dialogue is the only way to overcome Islamic extremism of the kind that has targeted Christians and driven them from their 2,000-year-old communities in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East. While condemning extremist attacks against Christians, he has said he is traveling to Egypt as a messenger of peace at a time when the world is 'torn by blind violence.' But his message of dialogue and tolerance has been rejected as naive by even some of his fellow Jesuits, for whom Islam remains 'a religion of the sword' that has failed to modernize. Even ordinary Egyptian Christians see his visit as a nice gesture but one that ultimately won't change their reality. The pope's visit, following el-Sissi's recent reception at the White House, will crown the time and effort he has invested in shaking off the international isolation he suffered after his 2013 ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president. Egypt's Coptic Christians, who make up about 10 percent of the country's 92 million people, have been strong backers of el-Sissi even after the recent attacks and amid mounting international criticism of human rights violations by his government. Burke, the Vatican spokesman, acknowledged that the pope could be used by leaders for their political ends during his foreign trips. But he insisted Francis has an agenda of his own: to minister to Egypt's tiny Catholic community, express solidarity with the broader Christian community and improve ties with Muslims.

PaulKillerman:thanks for your input |
going through history,everyone tags hitler as he embodiment of all that is evil,but looking at it,minus the holocaust,adolf did what every other european leader would have done,only hitler was better prepared. Stalin purged his army and was purged the polish army and was a stone cold communist to his people or was it gen. francisco franco and his leftist purge after the spanish civil war or even almighty napoleon bonaparte. yes...the NAZI were power drunk sycophant(i personally dislike himmler and goring),but hitler was a genius in a way,dis was the same german in 1914 that suffered the massively in WW1, and had to pay the debt for the entire war,the economy was so bad that to buy a loaf of bread,one needed a wheel barrow of deutschemark fast forward to 1939, and you had the most sophisticated army in der welt.....unterboats,panzers,jerrycan,fanta,enigma,even HUGO BOSS designed the uniforms for the wehrmacht...am not in any way justify the holocaust,i guess the world was just amazed that nazi germany was just too sophisticated for the war,but the holocaust was a terrible crime so my verdict......guilty but was he ever the worst of them all?

On 17 March 2016, senior lieutenant Alexander Prokhorenko of the Russian Spetsnaz was surrounded by the ISIS terrorists. He called in an airstrike on his coordinates and took out about 50 terrorists with himself. Sr. Lt. Prokhorenko was performing the task behind the enemy lines in Palmyra, Syria of designating the vital targets for airstrikes. After a week of staying hidden, he was spotted by the ISIS terrorists who tried to capture him. For the entire day he was evading them. He called for an extraction that was sent from the Russian base, but it would take 15 minutes for them to reach him. Not having more ammunition to resist and knowing he would endanger the extraction party, he called his CO and demanded to cancel the extraction and deliver an airstrike on his coordinates Here is the radio communication transcript with Alexander’s last words: [b]Prokhorenko: Command, I am surrounded, I am surrounded again. Command: Please repeat and confirm. Prokhorenko: They have spotted me, they are shooting everywhere, I am pinned, requesting evacuation immediately. Command: Evacuation request acknowledged. Prokhorenko: Please hurry, I am low on ammo, they are coming from everywhere, I can't hold them for too long, please hurry. Command: Evacuation is coming, hold them off, keep returning fire, go to safe position. Air support is on its way, give your coordinates. Prokhorenko gives the coordinates. Command repeats the coordinates: Confirm. Prokhorenko: Confirmed, please hurry, I am low on ammo, they are surrounding me, bastards. Command: 12 minutes until evacuation, return to cover, I repeat, return to cover. Prokhorenko: They are close, I am surrounded, this may be the end, tell my family I love them. Command: Return to green line, keep returning fire, help is on the way, wait for air support. Prokhorenko: Negative, I am surrounded, there are so many of these bastards. Command: 10 minutes, return to green line. Prokhorenko: I can't, they have surrounded me and are closing in, please hurry. Command: Move to green line, repeat, move to green line. Prokhorenko: They are coming, conduct the airstrike now, please hurry, this is the end, tell my family I love them and I died fighting for my country. Command: Negative, return to green line. Prokhorenko: I can't, command, I am surrounded, they are coming, I don’t want them to take me. Conduct the airstrike, they will make a mockery of me and the uniform. I want to die with dignity and take all these bastards with me. Fulfill my last wish, conduct the airstrike, they will kill me either way. Command: Please confirm your request Prokhorenko: They are here, this is the end commander, thank you. Tell my family and my country I love them, tell them I was brave and I fought until I could no longer. Please take care of my family, avenge my death. Good bye commander, tell my family I love them. Command doesn't respond, orders the airstrike.[/b] |
There is a russian joke about the subject, that for a soldier to apply the knowledge of unarmed combat on the battlefield: He needs to lose his unit. He needs to lose his firearm. He needs to lose his knife. He needs to lose his spade, his belt, his armour, his helmet, and everything else he could use as a makeshift weapon. He needs to find himself on a plain open area without any rock, wooden stick, metal shard or anything alike. He needs to meet there another useless idiot like himself. And only after all these conditions are met they can finally engage in a fair and square hand-to-hand. culled form quora |

DoctorAlien:What do you mean by "you know the church can manufacture forged documents",you guys are just anti-catholic fanatics. Have you ever worked with the church in any means( diocesan or vatican) and they gave you forged documents? Have you?Going by your argument that means the Bible is a forged document . Is it? |
He isn't mentioned in the bible but in the jewish kabbalah,he is mentioned as an archangel,he is venearted in eastern europe as an archangel |
The early christians were christians(although they were numerous xtian sects),but the church was catholic(Universal),a single community professing same faith. The term Roman catholic is a derogatory term used by protestants towards the latin church. The catholic church has 12 churches with the latin church(wat u called roman catholics) been the biggest. There are byzantine catholics,coptic catholics etc |
