France: Muezzins, not Church Bells

by Giulio Meotti

• French Catholicism is now witnessing a tragic decline, caught between two fires: state secularism and political Islam.
• Le Figaro wondered if Islam can already be considered “France’s prime religion”.
• Muslim countries are generously funding France’s mosques, covering an average of 50% of total costs.
• “Avignon is no longer the city of the Popes, but of the Salafis. … They [Muslim extremists] urge us to rewrite the history of France in the light of the ‘contribution of the Islamic civilization'” — Philippe De Villiers, author of Will the Church Bells Ring Tomorrow?
• The trend indicates that in France, there are currently three young practicing Muslims for every young practicing Catholic.
• “It is conceivable that Islam is overtaking Catholicism”. — Osservatore Romano, the Vatican official daily newspaper.

A new book is shaking France. Les cloches sonneront-elles encore demain? (“Will the Church Bells Ring Tomorrow?“), by Philippe de Villiers, is shattering the nation. France, the “eldest daughter” of the Catholic Church, is instead turning into “the eldest daughter of Islam“. “With arrogance, they [Muslim extremists] urge us to rewrite the history of France in the light of the ‘contribution of the Islamic civilization'”, de Villiers states.

De Villiers points out that:

“France has experienced many misfortunes in its history. But for the first time, it must face the fear of disappearing. In France, there are two groups: a new people who move with pride and an exhausted people, who are not even aware of the conditions needed for their own survival”.

De Villiers paints a grim picture of French Catholicism: “Avignon is no longer the city of the Popes, but of the Salafis”. In Saint-Denis, where the French kings and Charles Martel are buried, “tunics and beards now dominate, and girls are dressed in the Islamic shrouds”. If a parish is still alive there, it is thanks to the zeal of the Christian community of Africans and Tamils. “The Kings’ cemetery is just one enclave. It belongs to a story that does not count anymore”.

The bell towers of the churches in de Villiers’ book are already growing silent in Boissettes(Seine-et-Marne), and on the outskirts of Metz, where the bells of the church of Sainte Ruffinehave been forced by the state secularist authorities to keep silent. It happened in the Breton village of Hédé-Bazouges, where silence is filled by the sound of what de Villiers calls “the clergy in the djellaba” [outer robe worn by North Africans] — the muezzin’s call to prayer. It is happening everywhere in France.

Will France soon forbid the ringing of Notre Dame’s bells? It happened already in Boissettes, and on the outskirts of Metz, where the bells of the church of Sainte Ruffine have been forced by the state authorities to keep silent. Meanwhile, the muezzin’s calls to Islamic prayer continue to broadcast. (Images source: Wikimedia Commons)

“France is no longer a Catholic country”, writes Frederic Lenoir, editor in chief of Le Monde des Religions. Le Figaro wondered if Islam can already be considered “France’s prime religion”.

Muselmaniac released from Gitmo in plan to rehabilitate terror detainees threatens jihad attacks on U.S. cities

“He was transferred to Sudan in 2012 as part of a deal to rehabilitate former terror detainees…” And look how well it worked. “Deradicalization” programs in general are doomed to failure, because they proceed from the assumption that Islam is a religion of peace and that once the jihadi learns the true, peaceful meaning of the Qur’an, he will lay down his arms and become a productive, loyal member of society. Since that isn’t true, these programs never work.

“Al Qaeda leader, former Gitmo detainee threatens attack on U.S. cities,” by Lisa Daftari, Foreign Desk, November 4, 2016:

A senior Al Qaeda leader and former Guantanamo detainee in Yemen has called for renewed attacks on the U.S. just days before Americans prepare to vote for a new president.

“We pledge and vow to continue fighting America. Hitting, confronting and striking until it falls back behind the seas. None is upon us except by the will of Allah,” Ibrahim Al Qosi, a convicted Al Qaeda paymaster said in a speech entitled “15 years since the takeoff of the modern crusade.”

Australian Aid Worker Kidnapped in Afghanistan 

Not to worry, kidnapping is totally unislamic. Muhammad never did a thing like that, or did he?

“The Australian embassy in Kabul is making urgent enquiries into reports an Australian has been kidnapped in Kabul,” a Department of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman said in a statement.

Australian officials said Sunday they were trying to confirm reports one of its nationals was kidnapped in Afghanistan, just months after another citizen was rescued after being taken at gunpoint.

“Due to the nature of the incident we will not be commenting further.”

Australia warns its nationals not to travel to Afghanistan, saying in its latest advisory updated in September that the “kidnapping of Westerners is a serious threat throughout Afghanistan”.

AN asylum seeker who came to Australia illegally by boat has been charged for allegedly raping a teenage foster-home girl he held captive for one month.

The girl was only rescued when police found her running “barefoot” down a Western Sydney street at 1.30am yesterday.

It is alleged Bangladeshi national Rashadul Islam, 29, grabbed the girl and attempted to drag her away before the police intervened…

An insider told The Saturday Telegraph that Islam was among the thousands of asylum seekers who arrived ­illegally by boat under the Rudd government.

It is understood he arrived by boat on March 24, 2013.

He was taken off the boat in waters off Christmas Island — along with a number of other asylum seekers — and held in a community detention facility at Phosphate Hill on Christmas Island for two months.

Islam was released on May 15, 2013 and flown to Australia. He was later granted a bridging visa.

Under Labor policy at the time, asylum seekers were permitted ­release into the community without stringent security checks.

Islam must be presumed innocent. But I wonder what Labor’s past immigration ministers can say to the girl?

As they lose their grip, the political and media elites are getting desperate. My latest in FrontPage:

The mainstream media in Western Europe and North America isn’t even pretending to be an objective news source anymore; instead, “journalists” are working openly to quell what looks increasingly, on both sides of the Atlantic, like a popular revolution against the hegemony of the self-appointed political and media aristocracy that seems hell-bent on driving Western civilization over the cliff. And so it’s time for another round of their Two-Minutes Hate against Dutch politician and freedom fighter Geert Wilders.

Wilders has yet again gone on trial in the Netherlands for “hate speech,” and this time the case against him is especially flimsy: as Europe is roiled by the criminal activity of Muslim migrants, he is being accused of “hate speech” for saying that the massive influx of immigrants from Morocco (from which most of the Muslim migrants in the Netherlands come) has to be stopped.

This trial could very easily backfire on the Dutch inquisitors, and make Wilders more popular than ever with the people of the Netherlands and Europe in general, as they are increasingly fed up with the political and media elites’ forcing them to accept a massive influx of Muslim migrants that ensures a future only of civil strife, bloodshed, and Sharia oppression.

18C of Racial Discrimination Act restricts freedom: Josh Frydenberg

Reporter Canberra @rachelbaxendale

Mr Frydenberg said that even though the QUT case had not succeeded and Australian cartoonist Mr Leak was likely to be able to use Section 18D as a defence in his case, the very fact that grounds existed for the cases to be brought showed the need for reform.

The Tasmanian branch of the Liberal Party yesterday voted unanimously to amend 18C.

“I think that the threshold with ‘offend and insult’ is too low,” Mr Frydenberg told Sky’s Australian Agenda.

Update:

In the meantime, Bill Leak fights back, the only way he can:

TOP COPS HAVE BECOME RADICALISED
… politically that is

Pickering Post

Again the police publicly maintain that young Muslims are being radicalised and deradicalised. This contention is about as naive and inept as their handling of the Lindt Cafe siege. Deputy Police Commissioner, and the very average Cath Burn, again tried to suggest yesterday that the Muslim community is needed to “dob in” its radicalised youth. And that shows Commissioner Burn’s basic misunderstanding of Muslims and what Islam means.

The politically correct class has radicalised the feuding cop class that has never read a copy of the Koran and is never likely to.

Muslims are neither capable of being radicalised nor deradicalised. It’s a stupid concept.

Either Muslims are Islamic or they are apostates under a death sentence. There is not now, nor has there ever been, any middle ground.

The cult of Islam decrees that every person in the world is born a Muslim and therefore he/she must adhere to Islamic beliefs or die. Infidels, by virtue of having been born (you and me) have already betrayed the sanctity of Islam and that sin now demands our decapitation.

Here, an informed comment from a long time reader:

Instead of squandering tens of millions on deradicalisation and anti-radicalisation schemes, it’s time we started holding individuals accountable, it’s time we held the mosques and imams accountable!
It’s time to hold Islamic teachings accountable.
Often the money is given to the MOSQUES, they have been entrusted to run deradicalisation programs! 
What a joke.

ERDOGAN THREAT: Give Turkey VISAS BY CHRISTMAS or it will open EU borders to migrants

And so, the cat is out of the bag. It was a huge mistake to offer this insolent despot billions of Euros to “help” stem the flow of Paki-Afghani-Iraqi-Syrian Mohammedans, which he had no intention to do anyway. Now the Turks demand free access to the fleshpots of EUrabia, and if he doesn’t get his way, they will invade us anyway. I think more than anything this is a question of leadership now.

President Erdogan has warned he will unleash a wave of migrants

TURKEY has threatened to open its borders to thousands of migrants unless its citizens are granted EU visas by the end of December.

If President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s administration carries out the threat it would trample on a £5billion deal with Brussels that has stemmed the flow of migrants into Europe.

Mr Erdogan’s government in Ankara warned yesterday it would unleash chaos on Europe unless Turkey’s 80 million citizens were granted freedom of movement across the continent.

Turkey’s foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said: “Our patience is approaching an end. We won’t wait until the end of the year.”

The following brief clip shows French Prime Minister Manuel Valls talking about immigration — “Tomorrow, they’ll be French.”

The words that come to mind after watching his appalling performance are all from the section of Roget’s Thesaurus under the heading “deluded”: “crazy”, “hallucinating”, “psychotic”, “lunatic”, “out of his mind”, “barking mad”, and “two bricks shy of a load”.

In other news:

A Kurdish church leader smuggled to Britain says he received death threats – for having left Islam for Christianity – while living in makeshift camps in northern France.

The refugee did not wish to be identified since he is regarded in Islamic theology as an apostate. The price for converting to Christianity from Islam is death in Sharia states all over the Middle East and North Africa.

It is unsurprising that this convert was arrested and beaten in the streets in Kurdistan; he was also preached about in a mosque there, and his father tried to kill him.

“In the mosque the imams talked about me, and my father, and my little brother, who became a Christian too… The imam talked about us – ‘they are kafir [unbelievers], they have to die,’ from the stage, into the mosque microphone. My father [a Muslim] was filled with shame,” he said. “They were taught bad things about us in the mosque: ‘The Christians are kafir.’ Of course, they [also] say you are slaves to Israel, to the American people.”

The convert should be safe on Western soil. But he isn’t, given the indoctrinated anti-West, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, and anti-pluralism mentality that the West is allowing into its lands in the name of “diversity.”
