Pope Leo is the latest Christian representative to kowtow to Islam

Pope Leo's unsuprisingly but very sadly revealed himself as the latest letdown to followers of Christ (Hat tip: Jihad Watch):

Questioned about a growing trepidation among western Christians about the growth of Islam outside of the Middle East, especially in predominantly Christian nations in the West, the pope said this was something touched on in his discussions with interfaith leaders in Turkey and Lebanon.

Many of these conversations “concentrated on the topic of peace and respect for people of different religions,” Leo said, noting that this has not always been the situation between the two religions, and that in Europe the fears are real.

However, he cautioned that oftentimes these fears are “generated by people who are against immigration and trying to keep out people who may be from another country, another religion, another race.”

“In that sense, I would say that we all need to work together. One of the values of this trip [is] precisely to raise the world’s attention to the possibility that dialogue and friendship between Muslims and Christians is possible,” he said.

Forget it, this completely obscures the issue of taqqiya (deception), and his failure to comprehend how illegal immigration has facilitated the entry of the Religion of Peace into many other countries speaks volumes. Leo's ignorance gets worse with the following (also via Jihad Watch):

Pope Leo said on Sunday that the only solution in the decades-long conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people must include a Palestinian state, reaffirming the Vatican’s position.

“We all know that at this time Israel still does not accept that solution, but we see it as the only solution,” Leo, the first US pope, told journalists on a flight from Turkey to Lebanon during his first in-flight press conference.

What's sad about dhimmis like Leo is that they're obsessed with all this "2-state solution" propaganda till the bitter end of time. And the way he dismisses the opposition of the Israeli public to it is truly awful. As a result, who can believe he's really on Christianity's side?

Update: and in case it wasn't entirely clear before, Leo has attacked fears of Islam in Europe as "bigotry", parroting a repellent left-wing narrative:

What Leo says is humiliatingly bad. And it makes clear that any condescending view he has of Israel applies to Europe as well. Still, what else could one expect from somebody who first worked in a far-left state like Illinois?
