“If the West continues in this fatal way, there is a great risk that, due to a lack of birth, it will disappear, invaded by foreigners, just as Rome has been invaded by barbarians… My country is predominantly Muslim. I think I know what reality I’m talking about.” – Cardinal Robert Sarah, quoted in “Vatican Cardinal warns: West will disappear because of mass migration” – explainlife.com, April 5th, 2019.
“Hardly anyone writes and speaks about the increasing attacks on Christian symbols. There is an eloquent silence in both France and Germany about the scandal of the desecrations and the origin of the perpetrators…. Not a word, not even the slightest hint that could in anyway lead to the suspicion of migrants… It is not the perpetrators who are in danger of being ostracized, but those who dare to associate the desecration of Christian symbols with immigrant imports. They are accused of hatred, hate speech and racism.” – PI News, March 24, 2019 quoted by Raymond Ibrahim in “European churches: Vandalized, defecated on, and torched every Day” – Gatestone Institute, April 14th, 2019.
“The Pakistani origin male, who had arrived in France only two months ago, will stand trial in Bobigny next month, accused of causing serious damage to the main organ of the basilica as well as smashing stained glass windows in an apparent attack that took place in March, Le Parisien reports… According to the court, the man had already been accused of vandalism of property in February and that his DNA had been found in the basilica by investigators which led to his arrest.” – Chris Tomlinson, “Pakistani migrant faces trial for smashing historic church holding tombs of French kings” – Breitbart, April 16th, 2019.
“…in France, which has one of if not the largest Muslim populations in Western Europe, two churches are attacked every day. The same situation prevails in Germany, which also has an immense Muslim population… Before Christmas 2016, in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany – where more than a million Muslims reside – some 50 public Christian statues (including of Jesus) were beheaded and crucifixes broken. In 2015, following the arrival of another million Muslim migrants to Dülmen, a local newspaper said ‘not a day goes by’ without attacks on Christian statues.” – Raymond Ibrahim, “Diabolical: Islam’s past and present attacks on European churches” – April 22nd, 2019.
Sri Lanka Bombings:
“The government of Sri Lanka has banned full face coverings, including but not limited to the Islamic burqa and niqab, as an emergency measure following the Easter Sunday terrorist attacks targeting Christians and tourists… President Maithripala Sirisena said the emergency measure would prohibit any garment which ‘hinders identification’ as a national security risk, after blasts which killed hundreds were attributed to the National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ) group.” – Jack Montgomery, “Sri Lanka bans Islamic face weils after deadly Easter bombings” – Breitbart, April 29th, 2019.
“Documents seen by AFP show that Sri Lanka’s police chief, Pujuth Jayasundara, issued an intelligence alert to top officers 10 days ago, warning that suicide bombers planned to hit prominent churches… ‘A foreign intelligence agency has reported that the NTJ (National Thowheeth Jama’ath) is planning to carry out suicide attacks targeting prominent churches as well as the Indian high commission in Colombo,’ the alert said… The NTJ is a radical Muslim group in Sri Lanka that was linked last year to the vandalization of Buddhist statues.” – AFP-JIJI, “Sri Lanka had intel of Muslim group planning attacks ahead of Easter church, hotel blasts fatal to at least 207” – Japan Times, April 22nd, 2019.
“The suicide bomber waited patiently in a queue for the Easter Sunday breakfast buffet at Sri Lanka’s Cinnamon Grand hotel before setting off explosives strapped to his back… Carrying a plate, the man, who had registered at the hotel the night before as Mohamed Azzam Mohamed, was just about to be served when he set off his devastating strike in the packed restaurant, a manager at the Sri Lankan hotel said.” – “Eight blasts at churches, hotels across Sri Lanka kill at least 207; 13 arrested” – The Hindu, April 22nd, 2019.
“Suicide bombers murdered nearly 300 people and wounded 500 more in attacks on three churches, three hotels, and a housing complex. Many were killed as they attended Mass for Easter Sunday. The government reportedly suspects that the bombers, all Sri Lankans, were members of ‘a domestic Islamist terror group named National Thowfeek Jamaath’… Yet Obama, Clinton, and other Democrats – including 2020 presidential contender Julián Castro – could not bring themselves to identify the victims of the attacks as ‘Christians,’ calling them ‘Easter worshippers’ instead…” – Joel B. Pollak, “Obama, Clinton, Democrats denounce attacks on Easter worshippers, not Christians” – Breitbart, April 22nd, 2010.
