Pope meets father of drowned Syrian refugee boy
[IsraelTimes] Pope Francis
...Argentine liberation theologist, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He was elected pope in 2013. Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess...
has met with the father of a Alan Kurdi, a 3-year old Syrian boy who drowned crossing the Mediterranean Sea, and whose image drew global attention to the plight of refugees fleeing to Europe.
It’s inconvenient to remember that little Alan drowned, along with his mother and four year old brother, because his greedy father decided to give up a perfectly satisfactory asylum situation in Turkey for illegal migration during the roughest weather of 2015 to the gold-laden streets of Angela Merkel’s Germany in an unseaworthy boat. Dad’s been making bank off the emotions evoked by the pathetic photo of his drowned son’s body on a beach ever since, so at least someone in the family is happy instead of dead.
Following a Mass on Sunday in the Iraqi city of Irbil, Francis met with Abdullah Kurdi and spent a long time with him, the Vatican says.
One wants to think well of him, being as he’s the head of a major world church and all, but he makes it really hard.
Through an interpreter, the pope listened to Kurdi’s story and expressed sympathy for the loss of his family. Abdullah thanked the pope for his words.

The Kurdi family, which hails from Kobane in Syria, took the route of many Syrian and other migrants colonists in 2015 by sea in a small boat from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor...
heading for Greece. When their boat capsized, Alan Kurdi, one of his brothers and his mother perished. The image of Alan’s body, washed up on Ottoman Turkish shores, came to symbolize the perilous journey to Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
and drew international condemnation. The father now runs a charity in Irbil.
