SboC, thanks for clarifying the source of Phil's words.

Hi Trinitas!!!
Actually, it was the great Catholic Anglo-French writer Hilaire Belloc [1870-1953] who counted Islam as a Christian heresy [as well as a threat to the West] in his book, aptly named, "The Great Christian Heresies".
The following website has further information on this:

Thanks for the welcome ... yes the typhoon was a tad hairy [as we say in Oz!].

SboC, I was reading your posts and came across the words
“Islam is a Christian heresy” possibly being attributed to
Saint Thomas Aquinas by “Philosopher”. Hopefully, he will
reference the original source for this unusual quotation.

(good to see you back online after the Hong Kong storms)

My dear friend Trinitas, I am not sure where you got that [partial] quote supposedly attributable to St Thomas Aquinas regarding Islam. If you go to this website:
http://www.catholicapologetics.info/apologetics/islam/thomas.htm
you will see that St Thomas Aquinas did not believe that Mohammed was a true prophet and he cogently argued against the Moslem objections to the Blessed Trinity and the Incarnation. Nowhere, however did he say anything about Moslems not worshipping the same God as the … [Más]

Islam is a Christian heresy
St Thomas Aquinas

I cannot believe that a Doctor of the Church would make
the above statement, and particularly St Thomas Aquinas
who acknowledged that his knowledge of Islam was limited.

Naturally, as you have so rightly enumerated, there are myriad doctrinal differences, of fundamental importance, between ourselves and Moslems [actually, as someone has already mentioned on this website, there are some who have categorised Islam as a "Christian heresy"] this, however, does not negate the simple reality that Yahweh, Allah and God are one and the same Deity. In fact, our Eastern Christian brothers and sisters who use Arabic to pray, refer to God as "Allah" because "Allah" in … [Más]

Islam denies the Trinity:
Certainly they disbelieve those who say: Surely Allah is the third (person) of the three; and there is no god but the one God, and if they desist not from what they say, a painful chastisement shall befall those among them who disbelieve (Sura 5:73).

Islam denies the Father and the Son:
The Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them (Sura 9:29-30). [Más]

"On September 12th, 2006, Joseph Ratzinger claimed that the god of the Muslims is both transcendental and unreasonable."

Firstly, Pope Benedict would never have referred to "the god of the Muslims" because Jews, Christians and Moslems are all monotheists and all worship the One same God. Secondly, and consequently, the Pope could not have said, and indeed did not say, that this "god ... is ... unreasonable". The point he was very clearly, and correctly, making is that the "understanding" that … [Más]

Islam is a Christian herecy.
St. Thomas Aquinas

It would be difficult for Hassan al-Banna to wield any sword
against the Pope given that Hassan died over 60 years ago!

When the Pope criticizes Islam, Muslims murder Catholics in Muslim countries.

"Islam does not allow for intellectual inquiry into the foundations of its belief. The Church must be careful to not say things that poor and defenseless Catholics and Christians living in fear in Islamic states from Indonesia to Pakistan to Egypt will be murdered by a barbaric religion.

The Pope, in this case, is behaving with prudence and caution where other people's lives are at stake. If one had any loved ones … [Más]

When the British were in the Middle East (Palestine), Jews and Muslims lived in relative harmony. Once the state of Israel was established, Jews from all over the world immigrated into the region and that is where the trouble began. One cannot deal with radical Muslims and Zionist Jews, so I don't why Pope Benedict is meeting with Hassan al-Banna. The pope better make sure this man is not near a sword.

Despite everything....only the Pope and the Church can save the West from being silently Islamised (if it is to be saved). Don't expect secular governments to lift a finger to oppose Islamisation....quite the opposite.

And if the West goes down to Islam....don't expect any mercy for Christians in Islamic nations.
