Yesterday I posted on this. But I didn't have the picture. Now, I do. You can see it, above, taken from the Call Me Jorge blog.
This is vile.
Here's the Holy Family standing on a "migrant" boat. Now, as Call Me Jorge ever so subtly points out, the majority of "migrants," especially those coming in to Lampedusa, are fighting-age males who subscribe to the beliefs of a violent anti-Christian and anti-Western religious cult.
And there's the Holy Family, right in the middle of it, beneath a Christmas tree.
Among other things, the ruling texts and historical practices of that cult explicitly desire that the world be subjugated to a totalitarian political system predicated on the worship of a false and bloodthirsty god.
Subjugated by any means necessary, I should add, which again according to the ruling texts and historical practice means subjugation by horrific violence.
The Pope is now effectively a collaborator with it, or if you like, an ally.
What makes this display all the more disgusting are the reports, backed up by Italian police, that on a number of occasions, Muslim migrants have murdered Christians by throwing them into the sea.
I don't think they would have tolerated the Holy Family in their boat, either.
19 April, 2015:
When a rubber dinghy carrying around 100 African refugees across the Mediterranean began to sink, a Nigerian Christian prayed for his life in an innocent act that would end in the deaths of 12 fellow migrants.
One of the Muslims on board the rickety craft ordered him to stop, saying: 'Here, we only pray to Allah.'
When he refused, a violent fight ensued and 12 Christians drowned when they were thrown overboard by the Muslim refugees.
...Those who witnessed the African Christians being murdered on the crammed dinghy told investigators how Nigerian Muslims became angry at Christian who started praying.
'They told him that they would throw him overboard if he didn't stop praying to God,' he said, according to La Republica.
The witness added: 'They started shouting, two pushed the lad and he fell in the sea and drowned.'
The Muslims 'went mad' and began screaming "Allah is great" before they attacked migrants who tried to defend the boy, according to The Times.
When 12 migrants were mercilessly thrown overboard, the other Christians formed a human chain and protected themselves against the attackers by clinging to the dinghy.
A rescue ship arrived one hour later, according to a Ghanaian witness called Yeboah.
Italian police arrested 15 people suspected of the killing including Ousmane Camar from the Ivory Coast.
Here is a more recent incident. Those who put stock in this sort of thing will notice that there were again twelve martyrs. Everyone should notice that human chain, made by Christians and perhaps good Muslims who hadn't yet let Islam extinguish their humanity:
Rome (CNN) — Muslims who were among migrants trying to get from Libya to Italy in a boat this week threw 12 fellow passengers overboard — killing them — because the 12 were Christians, Italian police said Thursday.
Italian authorities have arrested 15 people on suspicion of murdering the Christians at sea, police in Palermo, Sicily, said.
The original group of 105 people left Libya on Tuesday in a rubber boat. Sometime during the trip north across the Mediterranean Sea, the alleged assailants — Muslims from the Ivory Coast, Mali and Senegal — threw the 12 overboard, police said.
Other people on the voyage told police that they themselves were spared “because they strongly opposed the drowning attempt and formed a human chain,” Palermo police said.
The boat was intercepted by an Italian navy vessel, which transferred the passengers to a Panamanian-flagged ship. That ship docked in Palermo on Wednesday, after which the arrests were made, police said.
The 12 who died were from Nigeria and Ghana, police said.
No doubt there were other such incidents that went unreported.
A charitable (if unreasonable) interpretation is that the Pope meant to commemorate those Christians.
But we all know that's untrue. He's commemorating their murderers.
