France: Nativity Play in Toulouse Attacked by Far-Left, Anti-Christian Mob

The War on Christianity Seems to be Winning in France

Amazing! Attacking Christians for celebrating the Nativity! These same far-left Antifa lunatics don't attack Muslims, who have committed numerous acts of terrorism, murdering hundreds of French people in the past few years. Between these idiots and the rapidly rising numbers of Muslims in France, there will be no place for Christians or Jews in France before long. And they will deserve the godless country they are left with.

A Nativity play in the French city of Toulouse had to be cut short after a mob of fifty anti-Christian, far-left militants insulted and attacked the event’s participants and spat on a priest.

The anti-Christian attack occurred on Saturday, December 14th at the Place Saint-Georges living nativity scene. The performance had been organized to celebrate the traditional spirit of Christmas and to emphasize the non-consumeristic aspects of the holy day, Infos Toulouse reports.

The celebration was quickly interrupted by a mob of 50 so-called “anti-fascists” who hurled vicious insults at the event’s crowd, participants, and priests while they shouted anti-Christian slogans. Members of the far-left group argued “that the event was illegal” because France is a secular state.

As a result of the attack, organizers were forced to shut the event down and to evacuate the frightened children.

One demonstrator allegedly forced his way into the square before he filmed himself attacking and spitting on a priest. After the rabid attacker was forced to leave the scene, he later came back and physically attacked a journalist, throwing his camera on the ground and breaking it. Eventually, event security forcibly removed the man.

Archbishop of Toulouse Monseigneur Le Gall, condemned the anti-Christian attack in a press release, writing: “This joyful manifestation during which Christmas carols are sung, Nativity scenes played by children and adults, helped by multiple animals, has no other purpose than to give depth to this celebration. As Arch Archbishop of Toulouse, I regret that the simple reminder of the birth of Jesus and the values ​​that it conveys (welcoming from abroad, announcement of Peace and sign of tenderness that we all need) is no longer respected in our country and even provokes acts of verbal and physical violence from those who set themselves up as defenders of freedom. I invite everyone to peacefully defend freedom of expression and to respect the history and traditions of our country.”

Sadly, anti-Christian attacks in France have become commonplace. Earlier this year in March, Voice of Europe reported on a string of attacks in France which saw historic Catholic churches desecrated, vandalized, and set ablaze. Anti-Christian militants have torn down crosses, smashed statues, knocked down tabernacles, and have destroyed the Eucharist, among other horrific acts.

Is it possible this Antifa group had something to do with the Notre Dame fire?

Number of Islamist Radicals in France Doubles in 2015 Rising to Over 8,000

The number of Islamic radicals in France doubled last year reaching 8,250 people, according to figures leaked to local media. The main hotspots of radicalization are big cities including Paris and Lyon.

Around 70 percent of the suspected radicals were male and 80 percent of the cases were characterized as “serious,” according to an official report leaked to Le Figaro and published on Tuesday.

The figures are based on police data as well as on information gathered by a special anti-radicalization hotline, the paper said. Most of the cases were identified as a result of “human contact,” not online communication.

Le Figaro published a map of the French regions where more than 200 people turned to radical Islam in 2015. Such areas include Paris and its suburbs as well as other big cities such as Lyon, Toulouse and Lille.

The report adds that the number of radicalized women and youth has significantly risen.

It says that nearly 5,000 websites – including Twitter and Facebook social network accounts – were blocked last year because of their connections to extremist Islamism.

The report said that French authorities prevented 275 suspected radicals from leaving France in 2015. While 78 were deterred from entering the country illegally.

The French government focused on the problem of radicalization last year after terror attacks such as the Charlie Hebdo and kosher market shootings in January and the terror assaults in Paris in November that killed 130 people.

Following the latter a state of emergency was introduced in France. On Wednesday, the French cabinet tabled a draft law to extend the state of emergency for another three months, according to the government’s spokesman Stephane Le Foll.

Last month France announced a €425 million (over $470 million) plan which implies the creation of 2,800 extra jobs to monitor 3,000 potentially dangerous individuals.

The state of emergency was introduced after the November attacks.

“Terrorism has struck our soil in an unprecedented way… and the threat of terrorism remains high, French citizens deserve to know the truth,” Prime Minister Manuel Valls told a press conference at the Elysee.

“We must act and act quickly, it is everyone’s responsibility, but foremost the government’s responsibility," he added.
