Speaker 0 summarizes controversial religious claims surrounding the Pope kissing the Koran and the Catholic Church’s relationship with Islam. He notes the Catholic Catechism, specifically eight forty one, which states “the church's relationship with the Muslims is the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the creator,” and adds that “The first place among whom are the Muslims.” He emphasizes that “These profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us, they adore the one merciful God.”
He references an inexpensive comic book called The Prophet by Jack Chick, which he says is “an excellent little bitty comic book” available from his ministry. He describes Chick’s presentation of the history of Islam, claiming that “Very few people realize it was the Catholics that started Islam.” According to the account, Catholics “started the whole religion purposely to try to get the holy land back for the Catholics,” and they “built up the Islam. They funded Mohammed. They trained him. They sent a Catholic nun out of the monastery.” He recounts the alleged directive: “we want you to come out of your convent. Go find a young promising Muslim, marry him, and train him to raise up an army of Arabs to go take back the holy land for the mother church.”
The speaker concedes the story is “Quite an interesting story if you wanna read about that.” He states that “it started to work, but then it failed because Islam got so big, they said, well, forget you, Catholics. We're doing what we want.” He concludes with a provocative assertion about contemporary Muslims, estimating Islam to comprise “now, what, 10%, 20% of the world population,” and adds that “I don't think most of them know that they really started off as a front for the Catholic church.”
