IS names Pope Francis its chief enemy for being a “non-believer”

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Islamic State group has named the leader of the Catholic Church as the ultimate foe of the bloodthirsty regime, the Express reports.

Pope Francis, real name Jorge Mario Bergoglio, was branded a "non-believer" by the twisted group in their monthly publication.

The 79-year-old is also accused of "defending" homosexuals, adding it is "immoral" in their article, entitled 'in the words of the enemy'.

The barbaric troupe continued their ideological rant, criticizing Pope Francis for "seeking dialogue with moderate Islam", including Ahmed al Tayeb, an Arab preacher of the prestigious Islamic university Al Azhar in Cairo, Egypt.

The imam was labelled an "apostate" - someone who renounces religion - by IS, who criticized his comments on Christianity calling it "a faith of love and peace".

ISIS has previously released a video showing the end of the world and suggests they are planning an assassination of the pope.

A clip shows tanks advancing on a post-apocalyptic Rome, with a voiceover claiming Isis will take over the city, take women as slaves and destroy all crucifixes.
