'Et Tu Papam' - Vatican to digitalize manuscripts relating to Persian Gulf and other Islamic regions.(DS).

The Vatican has signed an agreement with Qatar to digitalize Vatican manuscripts relating to the Persian Gulf and other Islamic regions.

The agreement was signed Saturday following a private papal audience with Sheika Mozah bint Nasser, the president of the Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development. The documents are among 8,000 manuscripts in the Vatican Library that are part of a digitalization project.

The Vatican said the sheika met with Pope Francis for 30 minutes, informing him of "the grave situation of schools in the various areas of conflict."

She gave the pope a decorated Arabic manuscript of the Gospels produced in 18th Century Ottoman Turkey, while the pope gave her a medallion depicting the olive tree of peace and an Arabic edition of his encyclical on the environment. Hmmmm.....Rewriting History a favorite pastime of Islamists....'Et Tu Papam'.

United States warns Italy of Terrorist attack threat, authorities searching for five suspects.

United States warns Italy of Terrorist attack threat, authorities searching for five suspects. (TP).

US authorities have warned of possible militant attacks in Italy, whose security services are looking for five possible suspects, Italy’s foreign minister said on Thursday.

Paolo Gentiloni referred to “possible terrorist attacks that could be aimed at St Peter’s Basilica in Rome or the Duomo (cathedral) or Scala theater in Milan”.

“As of yesterday our security forces are working to identify five people,” he said in an interview with state broadcaster RAI.

Italy raised its security alert level to 2, the highest possible in the absence of a direct attack on the country, following Friday’s attacks in Paris in which Islamic State gunmen and bombers killed 129 people.

Gentiloni said the US embassy in Rome had recommended tourists take particular care in certain parts of Italy but had not advised them against going there. Hmmm.....Make sense IS always puts Rome & Vatican as a high value target.

Femen member who took Baby Jesus from Vatican crib, held and to be judged by the Vatican.

Femen member who took Baby Jesus from Vatican crib, held and to be judged by the Vatican? (Aleteia).[GoogleTranslate].

Femen activist who tried to steal the Christmas statue of baby Jesus in the manger of St. Peter's Square will perhaps learn the hard way.

In fact, stopped immediately, she was detained by the Vatican Gendarmerie.

The Vatican is legally free to decide to judge on its territory for "insulting, obscene acts in a public place and theft", as confirmed in person the Vatican spokesman. This activist remain in cell until it is heard by a judge to answer for her actions following his arrest in the act.

This act, committed in St. Peter and the day of Christmas, intentionally aimed at hurt the religious feelings of many faithful present. It "should be regarded as particularly serious because of the location and circumstances, because it intentionally offend the religious feelings of many people," stressed Father Federico Lombardi.

He also recalled that three other activists of this pseudo-feminist splinter group had already cracked St. Peter's Square on November 14 to protest in their own way (vulgar) against the visit of Pope Francis in the European Parliament.

"It therefore seems legitimate act with appropriate rigor against these repeated acts that intentionally to the right of believers to see their legitimate religious beliefs respected, " has said Father Lombardi.

The Vatican will be finally lenient in this matter? It is permissible, in the light of these statements, to doubt it. Hmmm......Will it be 1. "Justice is mine says the lord" or 2. Forgive them for they do not know what they do? Read the full story here.

The judge said the arrest was lawful, the woman was  then subsequently released and given a trespassing order ban.

You should respect the territory of the State of Vatican City, St. Peter's Basilica and not enter "other public places within the territory of the Holy See, the spokesman said.

It was not the first action of Femen activists in the Vatican. But the arrest was the sharpest approach of the mini-state. In previous demonstrations of this kind in St. Peter's Square, last November 14, the Vatican had transferred the women of the Italian police.

Who Edited the Tape?

Posted on June 13, 2014 by Baron Bodissey

That’s what everyone wanted to know about the notorious 18½-minute gap in Richard Nixon’s Watergate tape, for which Rosemary Woods eventually took the fall.

Now it appears that something similar happened with the Vatican’s tape of the interfaith prayers-for-peace from last Sunday, giving us even more reason to dub this controversy “Imamgate”.

As we reported in last night’s post about the imam’s prayer at the Vatican, there seems to be nothing controversial in the chanted Arabic in the prayer and that spoken in his subsequent remarks. However, a reader and commenter named ritamalik — who is a former Muslim and understands Arabic — tells us that a portion of the video has been edited out, and the omitted section included the verse asking Allah to grant victory over the infidels.

The explanation below is adapted from two separate comments by ritamalik on last night’s post:

You were accurate! Don’t blame yourself! These bastards have cut out the controversial last half-verse from imam’s recitation in the clip. What they have done here is pure and simple censorship, deception and rewriting of history. Pay attention to the clip. They cut his recitation in the middle of the last verse!

I do understand Quranic Arabic very well. I also know Quran itself rather well. I am an ex-Muslim. This link that you have posted was cut! The full recitation from the Quran by this imam that I watched on the Al Arabiya channel two days ago had his recitation up until the final verses, and without a shadow of a doubt he recited the second sura Al Bagharah’s last few verses till the very end where he did say, “and pardon us and forgive us and have mercy on us, you are our guardian, so make us victorious over the tribe of disbelievers [or ‘deniers’, as the word kafir really means]”.

 If you pay attention you will notice the place where it was cut. It is noticeable.

They kept his recitation until the end of the of “forgive us and have mercy on us.” But the last two clauses — “you are our guardian, so grant us victory over unbelievers” was neatly and in very Stalinesque fashion airbrushed out! Cunning bastards!
