Do the Bishops Understand Islam? Will they ever learn?

I wrote the article below on Islam back in 2016. Here we are a decade later and what is our relationship with Islam today? Places in the United States (as well as many other Western nations) have no-go zones and rule by Sharia Law. Violence against non-Muslims is on the rise especially in the Middle East and Africa. The recent fraud in Minnesota robbing the state of billions of dollars was primarily the work of Muslims from Somalia. Not only that, but some of that money went to fund the Somali terror group al-Shabob [source].

In 2018, William Kilpatrick wrote a letter to the bishops taking issues with their description of Islam as a "religion of peace." It isn't and no amount of naive dialogue will make it so. The goal of Islam is a universal caliphate ruling the world. That is not a judgment on individual Muslims, but on a political system disguised as a religion. Catholicism wants the universal reign of Christ the King freely chosen. Islam want the imposition of the caliphate by any means possible.

In his visit to Turkey and Lebanon last year Pope Leo said this:

“Dear friends, your presence here today, in this extraordinary place where minarets and bell towers stand side by side, yet both soar toward the heavens, testifies to the enduring faith of this land and the persistent dedication of its people to the one God,” he said, according to LifeSiteNews. The Pope added that in this environment, “may every bell toll, every adhān, every call to prayer blend into a single, soaring hymn… to lift a heartfelt prayer for the divine gift of peace.”
