In France, there are frequently acts of hatred against Christians whose perpetrators are besides Muslims. On 14 July, on the French national holiday, the Church of Notre-Dame-du-Travail in the 14th territory of Paris was plundered and covered with inscriptions specified as: “Give yourselves to Allah, infidels, pray 5 times a day”, “The Bastard Jesus, 1 God Aallah”, “the head of those who sin, I will declare war on the Christian world”, “we Muslims cannot accept this spiritual whore.” In addition, a knife was allowed in the neck of the wooden figure of the parent of God.
On July 24, at Notre-Dame de l’Assumption Basilica in Nice, a 29-year-old man prayed aloud in Arabic and recited verses from the Quran. He besides extinguished the burning frames of candles with water. Trailed by the church, he threw “Allah will justice you.” He was taken distant by the police, who officially stated that he was suffering from “mental disorders”. In Marseille, illegal immigrants occupied the Church of Saint Ferréol. Protesters against the profanation of the French temple were attacked verbally. Itt., etc.
In the weekly “Valeurs” Dr. Ève Vaguerlant, who deals with social education problems, asked the question whether Islam truly is simply a religion of “peaceful existence”? This question was provoked by a media speech by Inès Leonarduzzi, a “business leader and humanist activist”, who began to lament the fact that besides many people allegedly saw Islam as contrary to the principles of tolerance and peace. The author recalled, among others, Islamic-motivated terrorist attacks – on priest Hamel and 3 parishioners murdered in the Basilica of Nice. There was besides an attack on an 11-year-old kid in Alfortville close Paris, who was referred to as a “dirty Christian” and decapitation of the figure of Our woman in Choisy-le-Roi. In attacks on religion in France Christianity is the most persecuted, and perpetrators are frequently “laicards”, but even more frequently specified acts are the work of Islamists and are motivated by religion.
In 2019, 1052 "Anti-Christian Acts" were committed in France – compared to 687 "Anti-Semitic Acts" and 154 "Anti-Muslim Acts". It is hard to believe that all these acts are “the work of madmen and extremists” who “distort the actual peaceful message of Muslim religion”, says Dr. Vaguerlant. It suggests looking at the sources of Islam. Among another things, to the mott placed in the Dome on the stone in Jerusalem, the sacred place of Muslims on the Temple Hill. On this Muslim sanctuary built around 691/692, 1 can find an inscription: “Messiah, Jesus boy of Mary, is only a messenger of God... God-Allah is 1 God! He is besides haughty to have a son, and Muhammad is his prophet.”
W The Qur'an can be found opposing verses and make this religion both a “religion of peace” and a “war”. 1 must be naive to quote in support of the first thesis, e.g. verses concerning the “no killing.” This informing in Islam concerns Muslims in principle, but no longer “unbelievers”: “The Lord wanted to prove the truthfulness of his words and to exterminate even the last infidel” (Sura VIII, verse 7); "When the holy months pass, kill the idolaters wherever you meet them" (Sura IX, verse 5); “When you meet the infidels, kill them until there is simply a large slaughter and bind the captives” (Sura XLVII, verse 4).
It is no wonder that Ève Vaguerlant notes rather maliciously that "there are possibly enlightened Muslims, like the grandpa of the imam of our dear Inès Leonarduzzi, who, according to her version, was raised as a free feminist", but the Koran is besides rather unambiguous about women. This kind of declaration blinds, among others, the supporters of laicism of the state who treat all religions equally, although Christianity and Islam on the issue of force divides the gap. "The birth of Islam is simply a communicative of conquests and battles; the past of Christianity takes place in catacombs with men and women destined for martyrdom in the Roman circus," states the author and recalls that "Mahomet lived a life full of war and plunder; he participated in stoning, (...) he married thirteen women, including 1 who was only 9 years old"...
This has nothing to do with the character of Jesus Christ, and "the Catholic Church itself should get free of its naivety toward Islam and dare to confirm what is unique about it: that it is the only truly universal religion, the only 1 recognising Incarnation and so not seeing God simply as a pure external transcendence towards man," notes the author critical of the "ecumenism" applied to Islam. He states that the French “princes know what Muslims are experiencing, who have become Catholic erstwhile they gotta hide from their household and even decision and change their telephone number.” This is another example of the illusion of Islam as “a religion of tolerance and peace”. It is worth remaining in the Truth, against the tide of blurring the principles of Catholicism in the dubious quality of “toleranceism” and the principles of “aggiornamento” (adjusting to the world). In France, this is beginning to scope even the media.

Ecumenism, Judaism, Islam. Why are we falling into the trap of dialogue?
